God's glory is made perfect in my weakness

A good friend of mine told me that this summer at camp was going to be hard for me; but that the outcome would be worth it. I knew that the summer would come with it's fair share of challenges; mostly expectations that I put on myself to improve in the role I was coming back to. I was not however, anticipating the distractions and roller coaster of emotions that came with the challenges. The first half of my summer was full of distractions that pulled my focus away from camp and where I thought it should be. Satan used every little foot-hold he could find and soon had me full of guilt. I expressed my feelings of inadequacy and weakness to a few close friends and I was encouraged by their responses. They told me that they had received encouragement and seen God working through me. God was using me without me even knowing it! In spite of my feelings he had been speaking to others through me. As much as I would like to take credit for doing some really cool things and having great ideas, I can't because anything great that happened this summer was not from me but from God. It is so good to know that it's not about me! I'm honored that he chooses to use us to carry out his purposes and relieved to know that I don't have to strive to be the best, he will be glorified most when we get out of the way.
