This last year has been a lot of finding out who I am- who God has made me to be. And I think I've done a fair job at it. It's interesting though when you get around a few people that you admire and respect...I then start seeing myself differently and trying to be like them. So stepping back and remembering who I am, accepting and enjoy that was something that I learned over the weekend.
As I read back over my journal...I realize that I was thinking a lot about transition. And who doesn't when they are involved in YWAM? But I know that I need time and space to be able to do that- and the weekend was good for that. Moving to Belfast, taking on a the huge job of being the Directors PA...it's also going to give me a real chance to do something about what I complain about from living in the middle of nowhere. Like not having a church family, being involved with a cell group, having friends my age...
The retreats always have a liturgical feel to them- which I love. Some of the songs or quotes that I held meaning to me and that I took something away were:
All shall be well,
and all shall be well,
and all manner of things shall be well.
Confitemini Domino, Quoniam Bonum,
Confitemini Domino, Alleluia.
--It is good to trust in God--
