Jesse's Bloggity Blog Blog: wow.

So I cannot believe that we just finished week 5 of camp and tomorrow starts week 6. And in 16 days, I will be back home in Michigan. Craziness. This summer has flown by, and it has been absolutely amazing. The thought of being done with camp makes me so so sad. The thought of leaving my staff makes me want to cry. But there are some things that make leaving here a little more exciting... I cannot wait to see Noah, Jonah, and Leah. I have missed those little ones. And seeing everyone for that matter. And sleeping in my bed, for a very long time.. yep that's exciting!

Week 4 and 5 were some amazing weeks. Between just those 2 weeks of camp we had around 100 students commit their lives to Christ and around 50 site children do the same... Can I get an amen? That is so glorious. Some days I wake up and feel so tired and physically drained that I don't know how I am going to get through the day, and then I think about how awesome God is, and how He is using me this summer to further His work, and it makes my day so much easier and happier.

Each saturday, as the students leave I challenge them to continue serving their cities as they get home from camp. I talk to them about how it is our job as christians to serve others and share God with them daily. And then I thought about it... Do I do that when I'm not Mfuge staffer Jesse? I mean I try. But If I look at my life while I'm in Michigan and then look at my life while I'm at camp, I am going to see some differences.

I feel like I do a lot of different things to serve others, and that it's probably "enough". But that is so easy and lame. I need to pour out onto others and serve others everyday, the way I do at camp. I've been thinking about ways that I can do that... if you have any suggestions let me know.

I love that each week God uses me to speak to students and children. It is such an awesome opportunity that he has blessed me with. And I love that I serve a God that teaches me knew things day after day, as I am teaching others.

We sing a song each week and it is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. Every time I hear this song, I am over come with the idea that I serve a great a mighty God. And that I am unworthy of Him. But that doesn't matter to Him. He loves me for who I am. He loves regardless of my every weakness, my every fear, my every failure. And I want everyone to know that feeling, and my God.

Here is the chorus...

"You are holy great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are..."

I will leave you with some pictures from the last few weeks....
