Fear on the Road

22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, "The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him." 23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer. Ezra 8:23

The fear was that they would be attacked by enemies on the road but they knew that God would not allow anything bad to happen, yet the fear was there and they still took their leap of faith on this journey. They prayed and petitioned to God about it all and God answered their prayer. God is always willing to listen and help because of his great love. What road are you scared to take today? Why are you scared if God is there? God works differently with all of us, sometimes he will take this fear away and other times he will say no you keep the fear and just trust me 100%. What is God asking of you today while you stand on this road?

God bless,
Jesse

Camp Life

For the last week I have been at camp with FRC students and other leaders as well as 100s of other Students from all over the US. It was an amazing experience to see so many teen age students worshiping our living Lord. I pray that what they felt at camp they take with them for life and not leave it at the dorms. So many were touched by our Lord and you can see it in their eyes as they paid attention to what God had to say through the speaker they had every day.



Sawgrass representing at REC time, i was happy to be able to spend extra time with some of our sawgrass students like, Katie, Cecilia and Simone as well as Craig one of sawgrass student leaders. Katie, Simone, and Cecilia were in my family group and it was awesome to be able to have bible study with them during the week as well as having them pray out loud during our prayer time each evening. I was very impressed with their participation during bible study and rec time.




Future Sawgrass leader the young man in the black shirt and sunglasses is Justin he was in our family group and by the end of our time together he cam up and asked me if he could volunteer at sawgrass. This young man has a heart for God and knows how big and power ful Jesus is. Justin I cant wait to have you on board!!!

Am I tired? Yes. Did I lose my voice from screaming? Yes. But This was truly a great experience for all the students and leaders alike. After all the smiles, cries, laughter, hugs, cheers and lack of rest I can truly say I would do all this again in a heartbeat. God bless each and every single student who was at this camp and may he help them on his narrow path. In Jesus Name Amen.
