The Effects Of Jesus Camp

While I was a Jesus Camp, so many good things happened. It was so powerful that I am still being effected by it almost two months later. I always seem to be reminded of a little piece of it just when I need it most. God is good like that. Just recently I was reminded of a little bit of wisdom that was shown to me while at Jesus Camp. This little bit of wisdom was; “the only limits on God are the ones we self impose”. God reminded me of this when I was praying about school. First off let me say I have a terrible tendency to want to plan out my life by myself. My mind gives itself a workout by trying to make sure everything is in line and will happen according to my plan. The worst thing about it is that I try to make the plan of my life seem like a movie. The more I think about it, the more I realize how absurd it is for me to try to model my life after various movies I've seen. Anyhow that is beside the point. When God reminded me of that the only limits on Him are the ones that I self imposed, I was praying about the upcoming school year. As I was doing so my mind wandered a little bit to what will happen over the upcoming year, including what troubles and joys I will experience and what college I will end up at. Then that little bit of wisdom popped into my head. I realized that all my planning is not fulfilling. In the end I become disappointed because my plans never work. This is when I realized that my planning was limiting God’s power in my life. How can God show me His power if I am wanting my plan and not His? At this point I knelt to the ground and turned the plans I had made over to Him. I know that he will take good care of me and with the God of all writing the story of my life, I can’t go wrong. I look forward to what wonderful plans God will unfurl before me. After all I would rather have God, who is always there for me and you, planning my life. In the end, what it comes down to is that we have the power over God. Let Him into your life and break Him free of those limitations and He will blow your mind. God bless! :-)
