summer staff is done.
hundreds of campers came face to face with Jesus. hundreds of campers bellies were filled. hundreds of memories in the book. Jesus is so so good.
i’m home from training camp.
georgia weather is gnarly. bucket showers are refreshing. crickets…. didn’t even have to eat them because they were processed with peanuts WIN. bold prayers are miraculous. God definitely showed up to say the least. my squad/team is incredible- i am their biggest hype-man/fan. SO honored to get to do life right beside them for the next season of our lives. Jesus is so so good.
ya boi is tuckered out.
it has been the most beautiful summer.
so much growth it feels like i can’t even keep up.
during one of our sessions this past week at training camp we spent time in the different ways we connect with God-
we asked ourselves “how do i view God” and were given crayons to draw out what we felt or saw. i began praying and listening to the Holy Spirit. BOOM. all i get is darkness. straight pitch black not even a like the little bit of pink light you see when you close your eyes. “really God,” i thought to myself, “why you doin this to me right now dad.” i started to focus on the darkness i was seeing and stars started appearing. it was as if i had gone from being in a big city with light pollution to the countryside where the stars are so evident.
it made me realize that is how i see God.
i’ve had times where i felt like He wasn’t there. my disconnect in our relationship and want for worldly things over Him was the light pollution blocking me from seeing the stars. in a city, the stars are still there even if we have let worldly things obstruct our vision. but as soon as i pull myself away from the city’s light pollution, pluck out those distractions and get nitty gritty into my relationship with my Abba Father, His presence is second nature. i know He is there always. He is like the stars; vast, abundant, constant. always there even if our vision of them has been obstructed. how comforting is that?!?!?! (yo also uh “yellow” by coldplay hmm God did you write that- let’s discuss that downbelow)also welcome to squad U!!! coolest people ever and I GET TO LIVE ALONG SIDE THEM
i wanted to thank each and every one of YOU for supporting me. i wish i could hug all of you over a nice cup of joe:( without you, your prayers and your generous donations i literally would not be here, getting ready to do this thanggg-
48 days left !!! 48 wonderful days of the beautiful usa and my beautiful bed. i am so stoked and ready to be wrecked beyond belief. terrified, yes, but so ready. praying for you always-
excited to share my life and His works with you!
xoxo- iggs ?
