Awhile back, I posted about a little girl who always looked sad at the beginning of the day. I talked about how she always sought me out and we seemed to connect, and how her smile would light up the room. This is the last week of camp and I'm sad I won't see her all of the time now.
But, tonight as I talked to her mom she asked me what church I go to. I had mentioned several times that I was a youth leader. A friend of hers had gone to Vacation Bible School and also knew me from camp. She had mentioned she thought she saw me there. So, I talked to her a little about my church.
A while into our conversation, she mentioned her neighbor also went there. When she told me her name, I was excited. It was the person who I can honestly say is the most welcoming person to visitors in our church. In fact, I'm pretty sure she was the first person who really talked to me when I was a visitor.
This afternoon's conversation was no accident. This summer's job was no accident. As I look to the last 2 days of camp, I have seen several ways that God has worked in these past few months. One family has come to church the last 2 weeks another went to Vacation Bible School, and now another family who really needs some love and support is thinking about visiting.
So, where was God today? He was working on His plan to bring a family closer to Him by the people He is putting in their path.
