We all know this; God is in the little things, the details of life. Then why do we fail to recognize it sometimes? At camp, we've been talking a lot about the little things in our staff devos. Through out the day, we've been recording stories of where God has shown up in the tiniest detail that may otherwise go unnoticed, or filed under "pat self on back."
For instance, our health inspector came the other day. Now this was a surprise visit, always is, and it just so happened that Amy M. was there. Um, Hillary, isn't Amy M always there? Well, yes, technically, but the night before she had been sick, so on this particular day, we weren't sure if she was coming in or not. Voila, she comes. Not only that, but she decided she'd stay all day. Now this is not a common occurrence since she is a part time employee. The inspection went off without a hitch, well just one minor one, and we were so thankful that Amy had taken the state licensing stuff on her shoulders. Last summer, the day the inspector showed up was the absolute low point of the summer for me. Considering they had lost our original application and stumbled upon us by accident, we weren't exactly prepared. In fact, we had 5 pages of citations that took months to work out. If you're a parent, let me put your mind at ease, by simply stating that none of our violations were ones that would in any way endanger a child. It's more a long the lines of having paperwork in order, or doing background checks through the right place.
There are so many more stories I'd like to tell, like the one where "E" prayed for good behavior, and his group mates prayed the same thing...for him. Or how a girl in Lauren's group prayed to find her "missing D2 game." Or how "S" used her hard earned money to buy a gift for Raven's family at the Disney Store. Oh there are so many more, but if I don't stop now, I won't be to camp in time.
