Let the Little Children Come to Me...

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." (Proverb 16:9) As you probably already know, our plans to lead a dance camp last week had to be post-poned. It was a little hard for some of us to understand, because some of the kids who were supposed to attend were not able to come the following week. Well.. it is now that following week, and here are a few stories of what has been going on:

Sunday afternoon, we went to a park next to the church to dance and invite some more kids to the dance camp that was now starting Monday. We met a boy and his sister. They ended up going to the evening service at the church, and came to the dance camp with their cousin. They seem to really be enjoying the camp, and the sister, who is in my small group, seems to be especially attentive during the devotional part (we are going through the book of John). If the camp would have been last week, they would not have come.

Another girl has been very skeptical of the gospel, not believing that the Bible is truth. But she has connected very well with a couple of the girls on team and is loving the conversations she gets with them, as well as the dance workshops.

Monday morning, two of the girls told me they could only come the first day, because their family had planned a camping trip. This morning, they showed up again. Their parents delayed their trip by two days so that their daughters wouldn't have to miss the rest of the dance camp!

This morning as we were praying before the kids arrived, I asked that God would reveal Himself to them, even though they are only children. When I turned the page in my Bible, I read these verses: "O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you." Psalm 8:1-2

With just less than a week left, we're looking forward to seeing how God's plans will unfold. :) Thank you to those of you who are praying for us!
