After all the trials and difficult times this sister was going through, the Lord had a special blessing in store that would change her life. Like many cases last year, it seemed impossible for her to make it to a Still Waters camp, but God made a way.
Here’s a little testimony about how Still Waters Camp changed my life.
Last year has been a real hard year for me, filled with trials. It seems to me that every time a trial left another one was heading up. But I knew the Lord was having me go through those trials to fulfill his purpose and to mold me into the person I ought to be, to be more like Him. I’m not saying I had the right attitude all along but I was praising the Lord through the storm of my trials knowing the blessing was coming my way and knowing that God was with me all along.
Then, I heard about Still Waters Camp, and some of my friends were so excited about it willing to go no matter what. And of course, living in Canada, meant having the take a little more than a week of vacation which I knew was impossible to do in that period of time because I was new at job and everybody was taking their vacations in August. So I just didn’t think I could go and it wasn’t really bothering me cause I didn’t really feel like going anyways.
So the day came that you had to get registered on the website and I didn’t even try, didn’t even think about it. But of course, all of you know the storm somehow messed up the internet or something and it wasn’t working out, now I like to think that that storm happened because of me. So still I wasn’t thinking about going. Then, they moved up the date that you had to get registered and the day before that date, I knew one of my friends was working the next day and wanted to go so I thought maybe I could registered her in. I was thinking should I call her or not, and somehow something inside of me urge me to call her. And I was working a night shift that night till 8 in the morning, I was thinking to get her registered than go to sleep, it was the plan.
So that morning I was really tired and for some reason I thought the time to get registered was at 9, but it wasn’t until 10. I fell asleep on my couch, being so tired from work. When I woke up it was 9:59 and I thought man that’s really the Lord because I don’t usually wake up before 4 or 5 PM. So I got on the website and I thought I should register myself just in case, and somehow I really felt like going that morning. I got on the website and first attempt, it worked, I was in! Then, I tried to get my friend in and it never worked out. So I thought well maybe I should try to get days off, ask the girls at work, maybe it will work out. And it worked out, everybody was happy to trade days with me. I knew the Lord really wanted me to go.
Of course, Still Waters Camp was awesome, beyond words! I was so blessed. I knew that the Lord was going to bless me above all that I could expect. This was the great blessing I was waiting on after all those trials! I have never been the same since the camp. And I can truly say that: Jesus love is bubbling over!!
