A few days ago I got back from one of the best camps (spiritually) I've attended. I gotta give alot of credit to the committee for emphising the Godly components of the camp rather than mere programs. It was a tactic which worked very well. Well executed! Now for some thoughts during the camp...

It was prayer time during the camp, everyones kinda lost cause we were allowed to "run free". So I did. I took a stroll around a field and found a nice spot to lie down. I looked into the sky and found myself below dark clouds threatening to rain.

Felt like what life is like at the moment - in the gloom, under the threat of misery. Many people don't know what hardships, heartaches and pure disappointments I had the past month. Like an "incident" today which has effectively destroyed my plans for the media ministry for OCF.. people letting me down and things just not going according to plan.

However, despite being under dark clouds, there are many clearings ahead. The troubled times will pass and great new day will come. Surely it's unnatural to assume it'll be 'nice and sunny' all the way through. Hard times will come again. But I took my time of reflection as God speaking to me, that things will get better but I must always prepare for hard times ahead.

Spiritual attacks are good. It can only mean that what I'm doing is right and that the enemy is desperately trying to prevent us from reaching the plans God has set out for us. The "incident" today, the devil told me my media efforts are gone. LIAR!!!!!! Nothing is going to hold back the glory of the Lord!
