"Be flexible" they said...
Three days ago, I didn't have a clue of what God was going to do between then and now. At the time, I was frustrated, unprepared, nervous, and clueless. My co-music-leader Moriah was taken away and moved somewhere else, and I was left to do music all on my own. Not long after, I blew the stereo system that I brought, so I didn't have a way to play the music. Instead, I was going to have to share the guitar amplifier (that we used to amplify the mic) with the mp3 player in order to play the music. I was completely unprepared. Not only that, but my housing assignment was changed, and many other things went into destroying all of my confidence for the camp (that was starting the next day). I was scared.
Then camp happened. It wasn't professional, but we weren't here to perform. It wasn't stress-free, but I wasn't promised that it would be easy. I ended up changing just about everything that I had originally prepared, and went in a new and different direction than I had envisioned.
But God had it all prepared before I even had a clue. In the midst of my unpreparedness, God knew exactly what He was doing. In three short days, He turned a seemingly uninteractive group of kids into and a group of kids singing all the words to songs not even in their native language, while doing the motions.
The relationships that were built over these three short days drew tears. It is amazing how easy it is to grow so attached to the kids. I will definitely miss them. I am absolutely amazed at how three short days can be so impactful.
