This past week I went to The Master's Inn, in Virginia, and its a completely life-changing camp. The things you do there reflect what you should do EVERY DAY, like doing morning devotionals (devos), praying before eating, and glorifying God through whatever actions you do.God spoke to me and SO MANY people and specifically for me, its how i act.
Another thing that happened, was that I went to Eagle Butte, South Dakota and helped out a VBS for the Lakota kids. Going there makes you realize that even though you thought you had it bad, they have it 10 times worse.
80 % of the kids I met have been abused in some way shape or form. The kids I had were 7 years old. You could see the love and attention these kids NEED and STRIVE for. I went the first day to pick up kids for a block party and one gets on the bus and sits on my lap. I've never seen the kid before, but as soon as she saw the van that had the church's name on it, she felt SAFE. Most kids there never feel that and that's why its such a bad place. I met so many drunks outside the gates of the church, and whats even sadder is driving through the town seeing these places where these adorable, lovable kids live and you wonder how they do it. How can this 5 year old or 9 year old live in a house with 15 people and have no drawers? One girl spent the night at a very good friend's house (a couple who are pretty rich and live 45 away) and she slept in the dark for the FIRST TIME. The poor girl is 8 or 10! She's so used to cockroaches while she sleeps that it freaked her out to sleep in the dark.
But these kids need God in their life and they will end up as the stereotypical Indian: drunk.
The Lakota Sioux need Satan out of their town, and I pray that Little white church will impact them more than anything.
God has blessed me soo much its unbelievable!
thats my update.
