HBBC GOES TO HELENA
Camp Day 2
Rain Rain Go Away …..? Does God really want the rain to go away? Is that for us to know or just for him to decide? If the farmer’s are praying for rain, should our prayers for the rain to stop so we can hold mission camp be answered?
This was the question this morning in Helena. At 7 AM the wind, thunder, lightning and rain started. At the sight of any spec of light sky; my cohort, Tracy said his prayers for the rain to stop were being answered. In my own contentious way, I asked him why his prayers were more important than the local farmer’s. This led to an all day discussion that was worthy of thought. There is no way that God can please all the people, all the time. We must adjust to all situations….. …….And today we did at ACC! The kids adjusted, the counselors adjusted, Alex and I picked up a new water stop AND all was well! Courtney said, you know the kids missed swimming but we kept them so busy and distracted, they never mentioned it.
Tonight Delta Fellowship fed all of the volunteers at New Light Baptist. A great time was had by all. Our slave, Kate Hall ate early (4:30) so she and Courtney could be back in the pool to teach adult swimming at 6 PM. These two die hards will then do water aerobics fro 7:00 til 7:45.
Whichever way God smiles tomorrow, HBBC will be prepared to react and work on his behalf.
Wish you were HERE!!
