I just finished working with a group from Kalmar, Sweden for the past five days and to say the least our time has been blessed. The group arrived last Wednesday evening and immediately our team bonded with their group of Konfirmanders and leaders. Our team had the opportunity to build relationships with most (if not all) of the twenty-five that we have been living and interacting with. From field games to initiatives, from the high ropes course to the low, from fast beating hearts on the giant swing to relaxed fellowship, from discussions about God to communion with Him. Again, our time has been blessed.
I am not sure if these last few days are going to present an accurate portraiture of what is go come, but I can say for certain that amongst our team, an excitement is being birthed, a willingness to invest springing forth, and a belief that what we do here for the groups that come through our program can actually be beneficial. I know, you may not believe that at all, but we have the chance to be used by our Lord for His purposes. It’s beautiful. It’s energizing in the midst of weariness. And to trot, our interns are catching wind of this; an aroma of resolve overwhelms our olfactory’s (as alliteration accompanies aspiration).
Springs approach to summer seems to only be a few methodical steps away. The month of May brings with it a schedule of business and potential busyness. As this coming Friday arrives on time, the next 2 ½ weeks will see six groups ebb and tide. With the Lord’s provision the potential is limitless. Recognizing my own propensity to indulge in tasks/work, I appeal for your prayer that I might find myself as a child lost in the delights of the Father.
**Thank you for your continual support and prayer. It would be a blessing to hear how you (whomever you may be) what is going on in your life.
Many Blessings,
Josh
