10,000 small things

There's this thing about camps,

It's how things charge at you like a pair of crazy charging elephants,
assaulted by lack of sleep, aggression of games, immaturity of some and of course the occassional spikes of displeasure which rises out of your very own heart.

So I thank God for one thing, for the energy to battle each of these charging elephants, one after another, tirelessly, what more, joyfully.
It's worth it when they told me that I feel like a changed person.
It's worth it when I hear that my group members have quoted me in the days following the camp.

I thank you Lord for inspiring a rare dedication to build a robust testimony, through which my sharings were made palatable to the people who regarded me as genuine as they listened.

I pray now dear Lord that when they think of me their minds travel a little further, a little further to think of the great God who is behind.

Let me continue to be disciplined in these uncountable small things.

Amen.
