I've been a little busy the last couple months as you can tell - no posts=no free time. However, I've finished my summer classes FINALLY! I'm free for a couple weeks.
In this freedom, I've been house-sitting and getting some time "away" from the normal life, and I'm slowly discovering myself again. Is that strange?
I think when I moved to Atlanta, something died in me, and it's slowly being reborn. It seems as though in trying to find who I was, I lost the part that meant so much to me - the part that drove me every day.
For those non-Perimeterites, this week is GoldRush. Basically, there are 1,000 youth from all over the country here for the week being led by our youth servant teams. Everything is led and developed by youth - the worship, the drama, the small groups, the missions trips....it's pretty much the coolest youth event anywhere. I've never seen more growth at any other camps/conferences than I see at this one.
Anyways, just being there reminds me of my element - being with these students. It's been opening my eyes to remember who I am in Christ, and who He has created me to be versus what the world wants me to be. I think I've been walking the fine line the last couple years, and now I'm finally surrendering my pride, my ideas, and finally grasping on to the thing that makes my heart more excited than anything - seeing students come to know Christ, and know Him in a deeper way than they could ever have imagined.
I don't know what that means for the future, but I can tell you - I am finally excited about it and ready for the next door to swing open :)
