My participation in the Cherkassy sport extreme camp was an act of faith for me. To attend camp, a person needed to be physically strong and ready for different kinds of exercises. I was not. And besides, the whole summer was so busy that it wouldn't even be wise to go to Cherkassy camp to help. I was so tired and exhausted and was almost ready to say "no," but I couldn't do that as I knew people were relying on me.
Thus, thinking about it now I see that God's holy will was being revealed in my life. Praise Him for that! He gave me a precious gift--the opportunity to be the part of that camp and experience all wonderful, indescribable and fantastic emotions. Everything that I was afraid of turned out to be the biggest joy for me. I couldn't even imagine all those games and competitions in the water that tested my courage, patience and power of endurance. But what is the most important - everything was in such an atmosphere of love and support, encouragement and understanding! I could feel God's presence!
It was the time and the place where God proved to me again that if I trust Him, He'll do all for good because His will is perfect. And I am sure I'll never forget this experience as what comes to my heart lives there forever.
