Take me Higher

I am now done with Orientation for Pine Cove Christian Camps!
For all that don't know I am going to be a counselor for first half at the Ranch.
My camp name is "Leap Frog."(mail me if you feel lead!)
Okay, so the first few days last week, it was a little overwhelming, but I am now feeling so much better about it all. It took some getting out of my shell, but I'm good now.
So, the Lord is of course teaching me so much. Shocker right?! NOPE!
I know that I will have days where I just feel exhausted and achy and sick, but the Lord pulls us through and carries me.
I think that those days to come the Lord will be carrying me every step throughout my day constantly saying, "Lindsay, my daughter, let me carry you, let me take over, and come and find rest in me."
One counselor asked me this week, "What are you most excited about?"
Well, my answer is a little odd. BUT, here we go.
I am excited to struggle.
SAY WHAT?!?
YES, I am excited to struggle.
I learn so much from the Lord while struggling.
To lean on the Lord for everything instead of myself.
Whenever I go through a hard time, the Lord is always trying to teach me something.
I yearn to GROW!!
Before I left for camp, I had coffee with one of my friends from my new church, Mosaic Birmingham. After talking a while, she looked at me and said, "Lindsay, I sense that the Lord is going to take you to higher places this summer." Like straight up just randomly said this to me. CRAZY RIGHT?!?
I am BEYOND excited for the Lord is take me higher and higher.
To stretch me to my core.
To use me for His will.
To teach me hard lessons.
To MAKE me rely on Him.
To understand His everlasting love.
Tomorrow marks my first day of "actual" camp.
I will be on Work Crew (a team of about 18ish people helping cook and clean all week) the first week. It will be a great week to serve the Lord and also, finish everything I need to for my first round of campers next week! I am so blessed!
Send me lots of prayers when you think about it and write me some mail :)
And I encourage you all this summer, to let God also take you higher. Submit to Him. Love Him intimately. And take time to dig deeper in His word.
Love to all!!
