Just
returned from a wk of camp for foster children- RFK. Every yr these
kids take a part of my heart; my love overflows & my heart aches as
the wk comes to a close. This was my 4th camp of witnessing God going to
work through willing people...in impossible situations. The challenges
faced at camp each yr are beyond the human scope of repair, but when
human willingness is partnered with God's mightiness...the door of hope
opens! We showed up with our resources-time, money, experience,
knowledge, education & open minds; God did the rest. He touched the
hearts of these children-giving them hope & a future (Jer 29:11).
Some children took on a noticeably brighter outlook, others were barely
noticeable, & yet some, none at all. We have to be careful & not
measure outcome by our limited comprehension-instead trust & focus
on God's promises...God's Word doesn't return void (Isa 55:11), we walk
by faith-not sight (2 Cor 5:7) & God's not partial-all are given the
same opportunity to know Jesus (Acts 10:34). What a relief to know we
can rest in God making a way for these children-the burden isn't on
us-it's on God...hope in Him all day long! (Ps 25:5) 6/28/13CIFL-LMM
