So This past month was the Regional ATI Conference. I had so much fun, learned buckets loads of greatness, made epic, everlasting memories and most importantly, grew so much closer to Christ. I thought i would share maybe a little bit of this awesomeness with you. :)
First off, I will explain myself a little bit. I was a pre-excel team leader all week, (which is basically teaching and taking care of a class of twelve 8-12 year old girls from 8am to 5pm every day.) This was SO much stinkin' fun! I was a TL last year also, but I guess i have changed a lot since then, because, boy oh boy was it so much more fun! My girls were all amazing and all the other team leaders, assistants, and everyone else that helped, were just the bees knees :)
Our theme this year, was Proverbs 31:27 which is "She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness" This was such the perfect verse for my week, my year, my life. Because, you see.. it's so easy to be lazy, idle, uncaring and sit back in my comfy little hammock, watching life reel by me like a movie. What kind of life am I living!? I know it was supposed to reach the little pre excel-ers.. but goodness. God used it so much in my life. It's made me really re-examine my own heart, motives, time and see what i am putting first in my life.
Another thing i came to realize while i was there is, I am so fortunate to have amazing far away friends. For real. I think i have the best far away friends... ever. Better than yours. no joke. I wait all year for conference to see these people. I know God placed them in my life at exactly the right time, to help me grown spiritually and ... well.. definitely not physically.. i haven't grown physically since i was twelve. Anyways.. I pretty much had the most fun Ever with these peoples :) But not only are they oodles and gobs of fun-ness.. they are some of the only friends i have that actually challenge me. You know those types of friends who tell you everything you want to hear, no matter if its true of not?.. My friends are not that type of friends. ;) They have chipped away at me so much i thought i would probably break into pieces.. But everytime, i grow stronger and more confident in Christ. They actually tell me when i am wrong..! You all need friends like mine. ;)
This post will abruptly end.
The End.
