Harvest Time is Coming!

Do you ever feel like something big is coming? Something wild and exciting, and way cooler than you could ever imagine? That’s how I feel right now. These past couple years God has been doing big things, like I’ve said before, but I feel like something even bigger is coming. Seeds have been planted, the fruit in my life has been growing, and now it is harvest time. Even though God has used me in many ways so far, I feel like there’s even more; I feel like fruit is about to overflow in my basket. Let me share with you the opportunity that He has given me for this summer...

I have been chosen to travel on a Summer Team. The idea is that a group of students from Bethany Bible College travel around parts of Canada and the US visiting Christian summer camps. They represent the college and recruit people to apply, and ultimately bear witness to our Great and Merciful God. While recruiting applicants, summer teams also do ministry in the forms of music, drama, service, and counseling. Christy Zbylut and I will be travelling together as “Ignite”. We are a counseling team and our desire is to see a passion for God ignited in young hearts, and deliverance from their pain to be given to them.

I am so eager to get out there and watch God move. Whether people choose to believe it or not, He is always up to something good. I think it is such a privilege and honor to be given the opportunity to be a part of His plans. It’s like God is saying, “Hey you, I got this plan and I don’t need your help but I want it anyway. I want to change this world and show people my love and I would love to have you come along for that journey!” How cool is that! Me…little ole me…a speck in this world, has been given the opportunity to work for Jesus. Yes, you can definitely call me blessed, but you wanna know the even cooler part? I am no different than anyone else; I have not been singled out, or given “special treatment.” Not only does God want to use me and take me for an amazing ride…He wants to use each and every one of us…yes, even you who are reading this. God has no favorites…unless you count us all…then you get about 6 billion or more favorites.

This summer I am expecting to see teens become passionate believers; to see burdens and weights lifted; heartache and sickness healed. I am expecting to hear praises lifted high and tears shed in humble adoration; to see relationships restored and issues forgiven; to see love displayed and friendships made. I am expecting to see miracles beyond my imagination! When you serve such a Big God, who loves and moves in awesome ways, you must expect Big things. It’s harvest time baby!
