We're in the midst of another training camp here in Gainesville, GA. This group is made up of 88 high school students and 21 leaders who are preparing to spend their summer in places like Puerto Rico, Belize, Kenya, Uganda, Bolivia, Thailand, Mexico, and Nicaragua. I'm convinced that they are absolutely going to change the world!
So tonight I was standing in a room with all of these awesome folks and we were worshipping. As we started worship we spent some time asking God what He was saying to us. As I stood there I kept hearing God speak one phrase over and over again to me…
"I never disappoint."
Over and over and over and over again He says this one phrase. It's not so much Him saying this to disprove that I think He would ever disappoint me…it's more of Him reminding me of this promise He's given me.
I'm pretty sure that's one of God's favorite things to do…remind his kids of the promises He's made…reminding our hearts that He's faithful and true.
I'm finding myself in this place where I'm constantly in awe of how good He is and of the goodness of this season. I stand here before Him and say, "really God?! are you kidding me?!? Could this get any better??" Then I find myself telling Him how much I love Him and what a good God He is. And it's like I can actually see Him simply smile and His only response is "Kayla, I never disappoint."
Thank you God for who you are!
God, you are not far from me, ever. Matter of fact, I believe you are closer than my own breath.
God, thank you that you give your kids good gifts.
God, thank you that I am always on your mind and you enjoy me being on your mind.
God, you are always good!
I'm not really sure why it is that I'm writing this on my blog tonight. I just felt like perhaps someone else reading this might need to be reminded of God's promises today. I love to be reminded of what God says about me and what He's promised me. He's good.
