You might be thinking, “who deserves more credit,” well, it is not me, but definitely God! “So what awesome thing happened?” you say, well nothing really, I just think I should give more credit and have greater anticipation/expectation of what God can do. Whether it's a retreat or just having a conversation with someone, God can do things and convict people at any time or any place. I find myself assuming and judging before I even try things out lately, which is strange because I hate when people do that to me.
I guess the biggest thing that happened to make me think this way is the Summer Camp that J-House just had this past weekend. Looking at the schedule, it just seemed way too relaxed(?) I was expecting more worship/prayer time, but it was just a lot of games, different kinds of activities, and unexpected plan changes; however, just because things weren’t going the way I expected it, doesn’t mean that it didn’t meet God’s expectations. (did that make sense?) I didn’t really notice much during the actual camp, I thought people were just really tired and wanted to go home, but afterwards I heard many people enjoyed the time they spent and had good times with other members from J-House. It was definitely not by our own ability, power, knowledge, etc. that this Summer Camp was successful, it was all God; he deserves much more credit than what I gave him. Even still, I am kind of doubting if everything that has happened this past week was even worth mentioning, but God is beyond me and my assumptions/expectations, so I will continue to learn to trust God can work through anything! “…Lean not on your own understanding…” right? Right.
I am actually still tired from the craziness of camp, but the team from Samil Church in Korea just came like 30 minutes ago, and I hope that we can work well together and they can be a blessing to the people in Japan!
God deserves more credit than what we give him, that is what I learned, and that is something I must work on.
I am starting to get lazy with my pictures and updates... D:
when you share what you're learning I realize that it's always something that I should be striving to do more of as well. thanks Kevo for encouraging me to give ALL the glory to God only by His grace. praying for ya!
