One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children.
The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God up there?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point.. We can't see God because he isn't there. Possibly he just doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she possibly may not even have one! (You Go Girl!)
FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT'
II CORINTHIANS 5:7
this was an email sent to me and i've probably seen it before, but still i find really meaningful because of how child-like the girl was! that type of faith that believes in God even tho she doesn't see God!
and i believe that's the type of faith i need to have in the run of CG08! in fact all of us need to have that mountain moving faith! that even though the end of 08 is near, even though we may be far from our goals, even though God may not seem to be with us. BUT! the fact is when we don't see God, He IS still there!
i would really love to have that kind of faith while chionging for God because God moves according to how much we believe He will give, believe God will bless greatly and God will pour down greatly and vice-versa.
but while we have to complete CG08 for God, let's concentrate at what's before our eyes! HEROES CAMP!! really encourage us to have that kind of super faith to believe that we WILL leave the camp changed forever, NEVER the same! expect God to move greatly in ur lives and set objectives for ur camp! ask ur leaders if u dunno how! let's all walk into HEROES camp with our faith filled to the brim! cya all future heroes in the camp! bye!
