A Note from the Nook. (#2)

Well here I am again writting to update those who may be reading this. (Sorry for the brief and jumbled update- time is a precious thing). Camp is coming to an end with only a week and a half in the running. Two and a half months in and it seems like I have been here for years. The LORD has surely been stretching me to the max this summer. There has been much laughter, many tears, and many more memories as I have had the privilege to serve others. The realization that serving is a privilege did not come easy. I was reading Galatians when it hit me- GOD does NOT need to use me, but HE chooses to. HE is perfectly capable of doing things on HIS own, yet HE chooses to use sinful, emotional, messed up me! Serving HIM and being used by HIM is above what I deserve. I am ruined by sin and HE has chosen to redeem me for HIS service that HE might be glorified. Talk about a humbling knock upside the head. Yet I must be cautious for in becoming selfless- self righteousness can disguise itself and drag one downward. I know and feel the enemy working against me as I seek to serve the LORD. The road has been rocky, but as always GOD has been faithful.
Much love, Frances Hope
