It has been a wild ride thus far, ladies and gentlemen.
But one, oh so, beautiful and more worth it than even my earthly mind and heart can wrap around.
Staff training week was crazy in the sense of just getting to fellowship with college kids my age from all over while we served each other, served the future kids as we prepared the kamp, and just worshiped our Lord. Then it was crazy in a whole other way.
I don't think I have ever felt so much spiritual attack in one short time frame. From temptation, to lies, to guilt, to a heavy heart, and even to nightmares. It terrified me and berated my spirits at first, but then I realized...obviously Satan has something to fear here. And not because I'm all big and bad, but because I serve a God that makes him tremble. Satan is nervous for what God has in store for this summer. And that, my friends, makes me excited. So, here I am, ready and excited for the next 9 weeks of this summer. Bring it on. I serve a God who is mighty to save. I serve a God who is bigger than the galaxies. Bigger than my own strength and heartbeat. So big, there is not even a word to describe. So mighty, even the thunder quakes at the sound of His word.
My first set of kampers I have for 2 weeks and they are 14/15 year olds and so precious and innocent. The Lord has already moved and shaped their little hearts so much and it is only day 6.
Please pray for the Lord's will to be done in my life as well in their life. Pray that God's name, glory, and renown be known. Pray against the devil and the lies he whispers to all of us, but especially to those 11 girls that live Cabin 2. Pray that I love them and my fellow staff with the love of Christ.
May your love of life, Him, and people be overflowing.
Peace out girl scouts,
Madi Mae
p.s. Check out the new Death Cab album. It kicks booty.
