“So I will praise You on the mountain And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way You’re the summit where my feet are So I will praise You in the valleys all the same No less God within the shadows No less faithful when the night leads me astray You’re the heaven where my heart is In the highlands and the heartache all the same” God is so good even when we don’t understand his plans. Last year was my first year ever being a huddle leader and it was at FCA basketball camp. I fell in love with ministry and just serving. This was my second time being a huddle leader for basketball camp this year. If anyone knows me I love FCA camp. FCA has had such a big impact on my life since I was a little girl. I’m always thankful that I get to pour into different kids of all ages and backgrounds through FCA. The day the campers were getting here I went to Covenant Health and came to find out I ended up having kidney stones. I was completely heartbroken because I have been looking forward to this camp since last year. I always tell people I come into contact with “God has a plan when we can’t even see it or understand it.” I don’t understand why, but I still say “My God is so good still.” God knows how much I love FCA basketball camp, but there’s a reason why I’m going through this when I can’t even understand and sometimes even ask myself “Why?” “why now?” “why during my favorite time of the year?”, but my “why” will turn into joy. my “why” will turn to laughter. my “why” will turn into “now I know why I went through this” As I look back on pictures it makes my heart hurt because I was expecting to be out there with my girls this week, cheering them on, pouring into them, and just simply getting closer to them, but I will always remember God has a plan for everything even when we don’t understand. My God is so good and faithful and thankful I made amazing friendships and so excited about how the Lord is going to use them for his kingdom. God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand his wisdom, but we simply have to trust his will.” John 13:7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
