The last morning we were there, we sat at breakfast talking and sharing. I told the team that even though we may not see a difference we made (especially at Camp Viktoria where we don't ever seem to be able to teach anymore---although we did the last night) we are making a difference. God is loving these kids through us and using us. I told the kids that they did exactly what one of our Bible stories was about. They dropped their nets, left their comfort, their food, their families, their paying jobs, their friends, and everything and followed Jesus. I know God will bless that and He will be glorified.<br />Now to read what you wrote...WOW! What confirmation!!!! God is so good! I'm so excited to read this post and I can't wait to share it will everyone!!! Thank you so much for sharing and tell our sweet boy, PRYVYET!! (oh, by the way....we are going to start the process of adopting the little boy I've been dying to adopt the last 4 years!!!)Pam DeFreeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17339113333023062857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-35537605474971153992009-06-25T10:28:54.890-05:002009-06-25T10:28:54.890-05:00Lovely.Lovely.junglemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176730853175967320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-86362024512253764952009-06-23T01:24:41.524-05:002009-06-23T01:24:41.524-05:00Thank you for this.Thank you for this.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158435911486266847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-21548916346029093622009-06-20T07:53:23.728-05:002009-06-20T07:53:23.728-05:00This is a beautiful post.

Sometimes we forget that, although we have many material things, having less can be a big blessing.<br /><br />I have to reming myself that, as a parent, my job isn't to be perfect...it's to lead my children in the ways of the Lord through training and by example and He'll do the rest.MoserUpdateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747483875705674637noreply@blogger.com
