Well, You Gotta Love That.

We had a conference here this weekend called Keeping The Charge. Going into it I wasn't excited about it at all but it ended up being really good, for everyone, I think. If not everyone, for me. But I'm pretty sure it was good for almost everyone. It was so weird. I spent almost both days working with barely any sleep the whole conference, but didn't feel like I worked at all. A whole night of splashing in the river with some friends and uncontainable spirit giggles followed by a day of good worship, simple but empowering messages, and of course the 3 free hamburgers and 3 free hotdogs (I have a fast metabolism). I think the best part was when everyone left and I realized that I was still there. For some reason God has chosen me to stay in His house day after day and be close to Him. I wasn't just coming for a weekend, but He has chosen me to talk to Him and partner with Him to be used to talk to His people through me every minute of my every day and be near forever-or as far as I can see right now. I got/get to stay. Nothing beats cartwheels, round offs, and dancing to Ryan I. music all the way around the alter with a good friend after the conference while we waited to take communion with most of my shift and then falling back into His arms and resting in the fact that this is my home. Hard, tiring, lonely, stressful, boring and unexpecting sometimes, its worth it just knowing that He is always there unchanging and everlasting, and knowing that my prayers aren't hitting a brass ceiling but His heart..and He hears every word. They're never overlooked and He's never sidetracked from what I have to say. He values me. He loves me. His word is good and His love is good. He is so good to His people, His children, His household. I am all filled up on the food that I've been needing in this body, naturally and spiritually. I feel like my eyes have been opened to a lot...yea, this weekend was much needed. It was just fun all around. That's all.
