We did an exercise on Saturday that, to be honest, freaked me out. I almost don’t even know how write about it, other than to just put it out there.
We were asked to form small groups, and my group was Sara, Melanie, and Natalie. We were then challenged to Ask The Lord where He wanted us to go. Right. Like that was going to work! Ha. Here I am, a believer in a loving and redeeming God, and yet, when it comes to asking for something here and now, I am skeptic numero uno (yeah – there is my Spanish). You want me to Ask The Lord what He wants me to do?! Suuuuurrre…. Like I can channel God. Doesn’t he use Priests and Pastors for that kind of thing?
Okaaaay, so we all stood around and prayed for a while that the Lord would give us a direction in which to drive, and the four us pulled back and shared what we ‘saw’. Okay – not gonna lie, I really didn’t feel like I SAW anything big. I just had this random little thought of blue lines. Of blue waves. Not a picture of waves at all, but sort of ‘cartoony’ waves. I shared this with the group and as I did I moved my hands in the motion of a wave. Okay – totally cheesy, I know. Didn’t really expect much from THAT!
Fast forward 10 minutes, and we are turning out of Camp to drive to wherever the Lord leads us (riiiiight), and it seems that we all came into Camp from a different direction. We discussed which way to go, and we went the direction in which I was unfamiliar. Driving down the road, we come across a sign – a sign with BLUE WAVES ON IT. Okay. I’m sold. Stop doubting and just go with it!
