Didn't See That Coming..
Yesterday afternoon I had my first one-on-one which was actually a two-on-one because 2 of my staff where there with me haha. But anyways we got together to start talking and we talked about how it was being home and what I did and where I was at and just got to know eachother a little bit. I was with James and Miriam and I know James from last time so that was cool having him around. But one of the things they asked me was "What are your expectations for this school?" and I didn't really know apart from learning about this generations youth and being a good leader and everything that kinda comes from that but ultimately I was kinda expectation-less and pretty open to whatever. So James and Miriam just encouraged me to really seek and ask God what expectations and goals I should have for this next 9 months and really fight for it. I was like.. okay.. I don't really see how this will change anything but I'll give it a shot. So Last I came home and got on my bed and started talking to God and asked Him what I was to be in expectation for.. and just randomly out of know where He says "I love you" and I was like.. "ya, I know I love you, too" and He responded, "No really, I want you to understand what I would do for you." And I was like.. "um I don't know what to say to that what do you mean that's not what I asked ... what are you talking about? that means nothing to me right now." (little did I know I had it coming) Eventually I fell asleep and then class rolled around this morning and literally the first thing the speaker, Chris, talked about what how far God would go for us. He supported it with the story of the prodical son and how the lost son just didn't understand why he was welcomed back, much like the pharasees didn't understand why Jesus only hung out with sinners.. and then Chris said that this generation just doesn't get it. And I was like omg.. I get it .. but at the same time I don't get it. And I was literally in shock that God had said that to me just the night before and then thrown it in my face the next morning lol.. Moral of the story - I'm expecting to discover how far God will go for me.. how far He'll go for my generation.
