Tonight after work I went to a conference at church called “Chasing ‘08”. It is really good so far. The one thing that David Perkins, the speaker said tonight was that “True love gives ALL.” When you truly love someone you give them your everything. You don’t only give them the things you want to give them, than you don’t truly love them with all your heart.
I realized that it doesn't matter what I want, who I want, or when I want it, everything is in God's timing. (I've always known that, i just have to be reminded, a lot.) If I'm focused on what I want and who I want and when I want it then I'm not going to see what God wants me to do, who He wants me to spend time with, or when He wants me to do something.
If I'm focused on something over there and God's calling me to something over here and I’m not paying attention because there's something over there that I want really badly, then I'm going to miss out on some wonderful things, amazing people, and so great times.
I also realized that i have to get to the spot in my relationship with God that when I go off to camp I'm not being hypocritical to those girls. When i say something to those girls I need to also be living by it. I always hate it when someone in charge tells me I should do something but then they don't turn around and do the opposite. I want to be the person that does what they say others should do.
Tomorrow I have another amazing conference to go to. I'm praying that I learn more and more to help me as I continue to grow in this walk of life
