Each year we take all of the high school kids, which is about 100 students, on a small retreat. So a few weeks ago, we headed off again for the retreat. Many students were anticipating God to move, some were just excited about not going to school, and some were indifferent to God and all things to do with Him. It was exciting to see God move and change hearts. God always has something to say to our hearts when we slow down and give Him a chance to speak. There are many students in our school who are followers of Jesus, but there are also many who are very unsure of their faith. There are also those who do not follow Jesus. Please pray for God to continue to do a work in the hearts of our students.
God's timing seems to tarry…
This weekend at the retreat, the teachers were given an opportunity to prepare a small seminar for the students. I think we had about 6 different seminars. I’m so thankful for the opporunity. I shared a part of my past that I knew God would be able to use in the lives of some of our students, and it was a huge mile marker in my life. God took something dark from the past and turned it into something that He could use for His glory. I pray and hope that God used what I shared in the lives of the students. As I was sharing, God brought even more healing as I spoke of His great grace. It was confirmation that God does use our brokeness for His good. For many years, I prayed and hoped that God would use it for something good, but I wasn’t really sure how He was going to do that, until now. We are all so broken, but not beyond repair. I’m amazed how God uses everything for His good.
This is one example of how Gods timing is beyond my understanding, and waiting for it can be extremely difficult.
