Statue of Clay?

So why didn't I just put my name? Well, to answer that question I'll first tell you why I chose this name. I chose it because it's what I am. See, my goal is to be a statue that stands fixed pointing to heaven, and for now i'm just made of clay. When the rain comes I often melt and lose my form. But the more I stare at the sky, the more the Son will bake me, and the stronger I will become. One day I hope to be a statue of stone, that can stand the weather, unmovable, staring to the sky without blinking. Why didn't I just use my name? Because every time I write I don't want it to be "me" writing. I want to remember to keep my gaze fixed upon Him and so I chose a name that will remind me to do just that.

Staff training

The first week I was here was for "staff training." During that week we learned the ins and outs of being a counselor and how to run the different activities. But more importantly how to prepare our hearts to minister to hurting children. To realize that we are absolutely nothing and that God must work through us for there to be any victory. Then there was the worship! oh! To have 30 college students in one room that have given their summer to serve God, and have only one thought on their mind which is glorifying God! It's just amazing, you could feel the passion for God flowing around the room :) After the training classes were done and we finished the manual work to prepare camp for the kids all the guys would go back to the "guys staff cabin" and talk about God! How good He is, how helpless we are, what God was teaching us, how to learn from past mistakes....it was absolutely a blessing. During that week we developed a bond of brotherhood in serving God and that's a bond not easily broken.
