Life is amazing. God is amazing. This weekend was an emotional roller-coaster. It was filled with the grace and love of God and that is what is amazing, despite all of the corruption in each of our lives, God still shows us compassion and forgives everything that we have done no matter what it is. All sin is the same in God's eyes.
The seminars I went to were very interesting. I feel like one of them was interesting and informative yet not helpful in my own life. It does help me to understand others but I do not feel like I will benefit much from that hour of my time yesterday. The other was on thriving in single life and I am amazed at how well I am pretty sure I will be able to implement this into my life. I am a shameless flirt. If you are male and show any kind of interest in me as a friend even I will flirt with you. Often times I don't even know their names. I could have met them that day. It's a natural thing and I can't help it but what this seminar taught me is that I need to be purposeful in my flirting because in flirting the way I do it is leading on the men in my life and suggesting that I want more than I do from them. Flirting with a guy that I am interested in being more than friends with is an o.k. thing but if I flirt with someone who is just a friend that is crossing into the inappropriate realm of flirting. Also, I was glad they talked about modesty because a group of us tried to explain to a friend of mine why we should dress modestly during URBANA '09 (a conference in December). I think she was surprised that it wasn't just those around her that thought those things.
I grew so much in this experience and I really feel like God did a lot of healing in my heart. I'm not sure how long it will last nor how long I will feel this close to him but I do know that things are looking up for the moment. A friend who I had completely severed ties with a couple of months ago came to talk to me last night during worship and though I was in a time where it needed to just me and God at that moment, I texted her later on and said that I wasn't ignoring her that it was a moment where there was no room for anyone but me and God/Jesus. I also told her that we could talk if she wanted. We talked today and things went really well. We still don't have everything figured out and we will probably never be back to the way things used to be but we are definitely working towards being at least friends again.
All in all it was an amazing weekend which will never be forgotten and that changed my life for the better. All of us need to learn to trust and rely on God. Until we learn to do that, there is no way that we can be truly living for Him.
So remember to live for Him and that He is there for you always. Jesus loves you!!
God be with you this day and always.
