Thankful Beyond Words

I'm really thankful because lately I've had this thinking that I might not go to CCF's camp this summer. We don't have the money for camp this summer and my summer job's salary's not enough, and I was really hesitant to look for a sponsor. But I was reminded by my D-group leader, Ate Mika, that "God will always provide." And prior to that, I prayed sincerely if He wanted me to join camp this summer, it wouldn't be a problem for us. I know God would always make a way if it's His will.

And right now? Guess what! Last Sunday, someone actually paid for my expenses. I was really thankful because Ate Mika helped me find a sponsor. I owe her a big one.=) As for my sister, Tita Barbie is looking for people who might want to help us out. Things are turning out good and the bottom line is: WE'RE GOING TO CAMP! Yay! I'm so happy.

I'm so happy because if there's anything that made me closer to God, it would be the previous camps. In there, I got to know God better and I felt like I was free from distractions (like this computer, hahaha) and it's like a 4-day immersion into His presence with fellow young believers.

I'm also happy because this is the time for me to really enjoy camp. Last year was a mess, and I know there's a lot of distractions since I was interested with someone from the youth group. Right now, I can say that I'm not interested with anyone and I'm really excited that I will be enjoying God's presence without any distractions or other crappy things in mind.:-)

This might also be the LAST camp I'm attending since I'm going to catch up with my summer classes and I'm already 18 by that time! I think it's time for me to "spread my wings" and break free from this stage in life. I know there are lots of things God has planned ahead of me and I'm really looking forward to them. Whatever happens, I always keep this positive thought in mind:

"Whatever happens in my life, I know that He has planned it and as long as I trust Him, I can be sure that all things will work for the better and He will make me succeed."
