Just a Quicky

Well I survived the camping trip - good thing too because this week is going to be sick. Topic is relationships .. friendships, relationship with God, to some extent romantic relationships and just everything that comes with being in some sort of relationship. So I'm pretty pumped. Today was amazing. The speaker is Mark Parker - really good. His wife's cousins daughter (second cousin) is in my school so that's cool. He's so energic. He's like 53 and he's at the front jumping around to the song Human but The Killers. It was so funny. He has a lot of good points and a clear way of speaking - not to mention the man speaks at volumes much greater than any other speaker I've heard so it definitely keeps us awake when we have to wake up 5:45 AM everyday. I had a quick chat about some frustrations and stuff with a leader of YP, Landry, today and he made a really good point and put it in a perspective I've never really heard before or understood until now, which is one reason I like talking to him - he's very clear and wise and easy to understand. So he said that, when we feel far from God, it has nothing to do with where God is because He can't get any closer to us than he is everyday, it's in our minds that we picture and make it seem like God is far away and then we start to believe the lie that we aren't as close to God as we could be. So I really liked that. Anyways, so far this week God's tell me to start listening because without my open ears nothings going to go right .. so ya.. that's me as of Monday.
