And I Will Walk in Them

I'm not confused. I know what I am supposed to do. I am not against it, really. I don't exactly know what's going on in my head right now. What is it about God's plans that makes me want to rush into them running, but also makes me want to dig in my heels and refuse to budge? I know, I KNOW that His plans are good. I KNOW that He knows what is best for me. I KNOW that He has a plan for me greater than I will ever be able to see.

"But God, I am happy here! I'm comfortable! I don't know the place you are sending me to. I've never done that before."  

Somehow I get the feeling that my excuses don't really matter to Him. 

As I finish up the first half of the devotions I am putting together for camp I am realizing that the lessons I am going to be teaching my campers are SO applicable to me right now. They aren't lessons just for kids, though if they were I am nearly the same age as some of them will be. 

I am so excited, yet I am extremely nervous. I would rather jump on a plane back to Africa right now than go to camp. I am willing, and I will go. I know the summer will be amazing, and I am certain that I will learn as much or more there than the campers themselves will. 

The theme verse for camp this summer is Ephesians 2:10.

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (NIV)

Or as the HCSB says it:

"For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them."

And I will walk in them.
