This weekend at Skipstone just may be the craziest weekend we've had so far. We have a team of 30 people from Clemson Presbyterian Church in South Carolina coming in that will be doing ministry at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. They had a couple of guys come in late last night and the others will be here later today.
We have a second team of people from Sports Fan Outreach coming in that are also doing ministry at the speedway. They also had a couple of guys come in last night and have 18 others coming in today.
The bus will be leaving in a few minutes for our High School field trip to the Breman Museum and lunch at Mary Mac's. They will be back at around 2:00pm today.
We have some friends who were instrumental in helping us get started at Skipstone that are coming at 10:00am in their motorhome to stay for the weekend and go to the races. We have a young couple that grew up in our student ministry coming to spend the weekend with us as well.
Later today, we have about 50 middle school boys and their dads coming for a promotional event for a BATTLEZONE weekend we are doing in April. We'll be taking them to the speedway for qualifying tonight and then back here for nighttime ziplines and a bonfire. We'll also be feeding the Clemson group supper and they will be having a worship service in the dining hall.
Saturday, we are feeding the Clemson group breakfast and having a coffee and prayer time for the Sports Fan Outreach group. As soon as they leave for the speedway, we are cleaning everything up for our Summer Camp Open House event for ministers of youth and children. We will be feeding them lunch, giving some tours, and facilitating ziplines and recreation for them. Mark Hall from Casting Crowns will be our special guest speaker...pretty cool - Thanks Mark!
I'm cutting out after lunch to take a my boys and some friends to the truck race at the speedway. As soon as we get back, we are heading for my daughter's 16th birthday party. While we are at the birthday party, our awesome staff will be feeding the Clemson group. They will be having an evening worship service after dinner.
Sunday morning we'll do it again, breakfast for the Clemson group and coffee and prayer time for the Sports Fan Outreach group. After ministry at the speedway in the morning, we'll feed the Clemson group lunch and both groups will be leaving.
As I was whining to God about how insane this weekend schedule was, I was drawn to a thought..... how amazing and awesome God really is to have the power and wisdom to know and manage every detail of my life, and the lives of every other person on the face of the earth. There isn't a day planner or PDA or iphone that could handle that kind of schedule, only the sovereign creator of the universe, who power and wisdom knows no limits!
Matthew 10:29-31
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
It sure gives me comfort to know how BIG my God is.... every day, I have the opportunity to trust Him with every detail of my life, and He doesn't sweat the big stuff, much less the small!
Have a BLESSED weekend.... Live Out Loud For Jesus!
Whatever It Takes,
Chip
