Arise

Last week was Meadowbrook's summer camp for 3rd through 12th grade. I'm still tired and sore, but it was a great week of fun, worship, and faith building.

We looked at the story of Nehemiah. Our focus was on Nehemiah 2.17-18, where Nehemiah exhorts God's people to arise and rebuild the city walls. The people respond in kind by rising up and fulfilling their roles.

We too, are people of God with a calling. All of us have a unique purpose and role to play in God's grand narrative. We must arise and become the people we were meant to be.

On Monday we head to the beach with my sister's family. We're really looking forward to the rest and relaxation. This will be the first real vacation (not counting trips to visit family) we've had in about 4 years so we're excited!
