Clay in the Hands

I realized last night at worship here at youth camp in the midst of the mountains of Ruidoso and the smell of the pine trees that my own batteries have been dangerously low for a while now.  Sometimes it takes getting out of our normal environment for God to show us how empty we have become.  

I honestly wish I had more time to be here in this place with the students to witness what God will do here this week.  But God showed me something last night and even again this morning – even in times of drought, our call is simply to follow – just follow.  That is a good reminder for me.  I have committed myself to take the time this week to recharge and I have also committed myself to remember that even when I am not sure what God has for me, the best thing I can do is simply follow.  To follow means to do the things I know to do and that means to continue to seek God in prayer and in God’s word.  So that is what I will do!
