If I could summarize my experience at Pine Cove in about one stanza it would look something like this:
God grace is enough.
Enough to fill up my empty heart.
Enough to bring me down on my knees.
"A scary yet awesome place to be."
I was brought so low, humbled by how little I am
And how big my God is.
His beauty and grace showered over me
like one of those huge water buckets at a water park
I had to daily renew my dedication and faith
to the one who daily renewed my strength.
I came to understand what it is to rely completely
on the strength of the Helper, and not on my own.
Servanthood was a constant state of being for me.
Not by my power or strength, though.
I came to understand that
Even when confronted with physical weaknesses
in health and in human nature
Even when the enemy tells me I can't
as he so often did this summer
GOD CAN STILL USE ME.
HE IS BIGGER.
HE IS MIGHTIER.
IT IS FINISHED.
He is SO good, so so good to me. The things He showed me and taught me this summer will stay with me for my life, and for that I am eternally grateful.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." -Ephesians 3:20-21
May my words be few,
