A week has gone by since the Grand Opening of the new facilities at St Madoc and it seems a good time to look back and consider the day a little, click to see more info. It is hard to try to work out how 'successful' the day or any day has been. I often try to judge by external things, how many people came, did things go well, what did people say. There may be some validity in that approach but it may not be the best way.On those external criteria the day was a huge success; however the more important question is 'did we do what God called us to do?' This is a more challenging question and requires an investigation of the heart not just a look at how many people came. I often find that when I look at my own heart I find a mix of motives; part of me wants Jesus to be glorified by what is done, the other part wants people to recognise what I have done. I do not beat myself up too much on this as I know that the Christian journey is just that, a journey!
As I look back on the day I believe that the Grand Opening was a step in the right direction and part of God's plan for St Madoc. We have a desire to see the Camp have a positive impact on the lives of those who visit; with God's help we will continue to do this.
