This year i really prayed that God would give me peace. As I was sitting in my cube yesterday packig up my belongings, I found myself in Romans 8. God really did wonders by putting this on my heart.
Romans 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39 NIV)
This verse really encouraged me as I am home. I know that any trial I face in life has already been conquered by Christ. He died on the cross for you an me. How much better can life get?! This verse also made me be so thankful for how deep his love is for us. NOTHING can separate us from him. NOTHING.
The relationships I have made at camp won't go away, the only distance that is between my friends and I is physical land. We are bided together as brothers and sisters in Christ, man do I have some amazing siblings!
Letters, Skype and phones are just wonderful blessings for long distance. ( thank you Lord:)
I am so thankful that this year God has blessed me with overwhelming peace about leaving.Though I still cried like a baby, I am very much thankful for the memories I have made. I've decided that dwelling on things I can't change isn't such a good idea, it just makes me bitter. Instead I'm choosing to focus on the opportunities in my everyday life. He has a new chapter for me and I am excited to begin that... Hey if God is on my side then who can't be against me..amen?!
This nex week I will be counseling Chrisian day camp in good 'ol Iowa. Lol. Please be praying that God would pour out his love over each camper!
In Christ,
Taler
As always.... Here are some more pictures of the amazing friends I have at Fort.
