So I just got back from an amazing weekend at David Thompson Bible Camp. Being on Declare, a tour team from PRBI, has given me many opportunities to visit different camps during the school year. This weekend was particularly relaxing and very fun. The girls that were in cabin 10 with Kimmie and I were so cool and I was encouraged by every single one of them. Even though I was only at camp for two days, I really felt like God was helping me to connect with the youth and teaching me a lot. I shared a bit of my testimony and how I felt that God was always disappointed in me because I could never do enough to please Him but then I realized how wrong I was to view God that way. He can't be disappointed in me because He has no expectations of me; I am putting unrealistic expectations on myself! Now this does not in any way give me an excuse to stop pursuing a relationship with Him (not that I would want to give that up), it just means that I don't have to beat myself up when I fail. I guess I just haven't yet learned to accept the fact that I am human, and humans fail, it's in our nature. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 really encouraged me and reminded me that it's ok to be weak. I praise God for His encouragement through the truth of His Word!
