Dependent on God

Well, as I said, here is the next part of what I learned last summer! As many of you know I have a small group of guys that I have led for a couple of years. I have also done a lot of work with youth. My thoughts going into the summer went something like this. "Well I am pretty good at working with youth, God has given me this talent, should be no problem." Boy was I wrong, the first camp was basically a failure. I could not do anything right for the life of me. It was after the first camp that I sat down with God and cried and talked to Him about how I was feeling. It was in that moment God made me aware of something I already knew but had forgotten. It is God that works not me. I was getting in the way. I cried to God to take over and let me follow. It was not going to work if I tried to lead. The rest of the summer was not perfect but it turned out better than if I had tried to be in control. It is great to know that I can give over to God and he will do a much better job than I ever would have!
