Camp Viola: God is in the Details - Lenten Devotional 16

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14 NIV)

Yesterday was such a full day for me. Full of anticipation. Full of hope. Full of energy. 
It was finally the day for our first ever golf scramble fundraiser to benefit Camp Viola. Planning began late last fall and when the new year came, we hit the ground running. The tournament came together and was pulled off with very minimal if any snags. 
I have heard the saying "the devil's in the details." That was not the case with this endeavor. God had His hand on it from start to finish. He was in the details. Board members worked together beautifully. The Highland Country Club staff was marvelous. We had 100% of our teams showing up to play. The first day of Spring came with perfect weather. 
The best part of everything though was the fact that all monies raised would go to help support Camp Viola's operating budget as we head into the summer camp schedule. 
For those of you who don't know much about Camp Viola and its Christian mission to share the gospel of Christ with local children through the camping experience, please visit our website. You can find out about the history of the Camp, ways to volunteer and donate, and even rent the camp for private events. 
This camp has a long history of ministering to the children of Troup County and surrounding areas. Help us to continue this tradition and the vision of Miss Viola Burks.
