“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)
With it being the end of 2011, I was thinking back over the past year and where I was one year ago. Let me tell you as I think back, I never ever would have thought that I would be where I am now. One year ago I was working at the same place I had since my senior year in high school. I felt stuck there after working there four and a half and not knowing what I was supposed to do. It still amazes me God’s hand on every part of my life even when I didn’t know what was going on. It’s funny how sometimes we think we know what is going on and God has a totally different plan for us. Some of you might already know the story but I have a feeling some of you might not. So here is the story on how I got to where I am. It still amazes me sometimes on how God worked it all out.
In April or May I decided I wanted to do something different this year. I thought about going on a mission trip but the one through my church did not work so I tried to come up with something else. My dad suggested helping out at a camp. So I decided to help out at Camp Conquest, the camp I went to when I was a kid. After I applied and got accepted, I realized that the same week I was going to be helping out in the kitchen at camp was the same weekend that my family was taking our annual trip up to New York. Well I decided to go to camp, and boy I am glad I did. After Camp, in July, was the first time ever that I thought I might want to do something related to camp or a retreat center.
I believe God put it on my heart and then he took me to Sandy Cove’s website. That is where I saw the page for Converge. On the Friday after camp, I find out about Converge and that same day I find out that they were closing our other book store. On Wed, I go down to Sandy Cove and meet Lindy and take a tour around the property. One week later, I find out that my manager was going to be losing her job. Also, I get an email from Stephen asking to set up a phone interview. So basically when something bad was happening with my job, I was finding out great information about Converge. Now a couple months later I am apart of converge and I am learning so much. I never ever would have thought a year ago that I would be where I am now. I love how God had a hand in everything.
