Once again, I apologize for the lack of pictures (or even posts for that matter). I've kinda been in a rut with my photo taking. But I am hoping to remedy that soon with the purchase of a new lens. And also a summer at camp where I will have lots of opportunity to take pictures and see God's hand at work.
Which brings me to my prayer request. This summer is going to be HARD. I can already anticipate that. I am going to be busy and have little free time to unwind. I am also fighting a negative attitude about it already and it hasn't even started yet. Camp is hard, it always is because God is working on me in so many ways and Satan is trying to counteract that by attacking me left and right. I guess my prayer request is that I will be able to trust and rely on God and know that He is working on me and growing me this summer. And that I can stay positive through all the struggles. I need patience so I'm not easily frustrated with my situation. Not only do I have all the pressures of camp weighing me down this summer, but I have personal stuff too that is going to make it difficult.
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about camp and that I don't want to go. That is not it at all. I'm just looking ahead, realistically, and seeing that I'm going to need a lot of prayer for this summer because I can't do this without God. I know that it will be hard, but I also know that God will show up in amazing ways as He always does. I also know that it will all be worth it because I will come out a better person in the end. Its just going to be a hard 2 months to get through, but also very rewarding.
So I'm asking you 7 people who follow this blog to pray for me this summer. Pray for patience, strength, and endurance. Pray for a positive attitude. And most importantly, pray that I will recognize when God is trying to grow me and that I won't fight it, but embrace the struggles and grow closer to God and to becoming the woman He wants me to be.
"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
Romans 5:4-5
