Everything is drawing to a close and we had our last Young Life committee meeting last night. We spent the last few minutes of the meeting talking about all the Lord has done this school year, and Grace encouraged me so much. In front of everyone, she acknowledge and spoke truth into my heart about what God had done at Whitefield this year. I am exhausted right now, and it is so easy for me to lose sight of what the Lord has accomplished in just one year. This coming Monday will be the year mark that I have been working for YL. Last summer I knew two kids names, and I was scared to death to run a club on my own. This summer, I know 300 kids names and our clubs are bigger than they have ever been.
This is no boast on my name, but it is all about Him and what He has done.
He has used me. He has used me when I was clueless to His plans. He used me even though my thoughts put a limit on what He was allowed to do. He has used me when I was so tired. He used me in my frustration. And He used me when I was faithless. It took Grace saying the things she said last night for me to see all that the Lord has truly done this past year. He has shown me His unchanging nature: He will still remain faithful, even when I am faithless.
Everything is drawing to a close, I am encouraged. I just feel so honored to be used by Him.
