My Parent & Me Weekend July 24-26, 2009

"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." --Zephaniah 3:17

This was the Scripture for My Parent & Me Weekend at Butler Springs Christian Camp in Hillsboro, OH. The campfire talks and the Sunday morning message focused on various aspects of this verse...and, WOW...

God spoke to me very clearly!

I've been living under a "contract" with God -- I do what I'm supposed to do, and He owes me. The problem is, that when bad things happened then I got mad at Him... He broke the deal!

That's not what He wants at all. My Father wants me to desire just Him... not what He can give me or do for me in exchange for my good behavior. He laughs over me...He smiles over me...He dances over me... THAT is my Creator!

Thank you, Rick Alvey, for sharing this message with us... it has changed my life! I'm glad to have a venue to pass it along...
