CAMP

Well blog world, it's been a LONG time! So much has happened and I need to play catch up.
First was graduation, which was the last thing before med school (which starts in EIGHT DAYS).
Then, CAMP.
I wanted to document a few things that the Lord really put on my heart over the summer.
First of all, is the importance of community. A kingdom community. Being surrounded by people who are running towards Jesus and helping each other along is the best way to live. After being immersed in that for two months, I walked away with a new focus - to create the same community at home, in med school, wherever I find myself. My church's mission statement sums it up pretty well - making disciples who live by God's grace and for His glory at home and across the world.
Second, was a perspective change. The Lord says that the last shall be first. Often times we tend to refer to the less fortunate among us as the least of these. However, in God's kingdom, they are first! They are the greatest! We should love them and treat them in that way, humble ourselves and serve every one wholeheartedly.
Last, God speaks to all of us. He just doesn't speak in the same way. At the beginning of staff training I kept comparing myself to everyone else in their walk with Christ. Everyone was talking about words and pictures from God. During a time of prayer with our sweet directors, John and Alfie, the Lord showed me that He does speak to me. One of the amazing things about God is that He speaks to us all in different ways, unique ways. I find so much peace and assurance in that.
