Numbers...I ain't got to show you no stinkin' numbers!

Yesterday we began Adventure Camp and 17 kids showed. We broke into teams and did team building and get-to-know-you activities. I had a wonderful time and adopted a group of my own. However, today 10 kids showed and are going on the campout with us tomorrow. At first I seemed terribly disappointed. Our group is small to say the least and leaders out weigh the campers tremendously. It feels like we are not reaching out. But, I am only seeing the small picture. I am only seeing this still moment. I am not able to see what will happen as a result of this - that is in the hands of my Creator. He knows how many campers we will have. He knows what events will transpire. He knows the relationships that will be built. If we are truly trusting Him then the opportunities He provides with these 13 (campers and translators) will be blessed. Nothing is out of His control. There are no numbers. Why do I place success in numbers and not in Him? Why do churches continually do this also? Why do I think He cares about numbers? When I really think about it - it is the stupidest thing. I am so fortunate He forgives and has grace and mercy on me and my simple brain. I will never fully understand how great and mighty He is.
