In light of this seeming to be the week for me putting my foot in my mouth and being a sort of self-inflicted, misunderstood rogue; I thought this was an appropriate quote of the week.
enjoy.
I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I want to always be a testament to those who need it that He will always take you back!

Processing
What a week! First the Willow Creek Arts Conference and then Operation Helping Hands at GCC. Jesus showed his face to me all week long and I am in a spiritual euphoria.
I have a 5 page research paper due on Thursday, I haven't been able to even make a keystroke for today. I have just been processing my last 5 days alone in the house, which doesn't happen often, and my brain won't quit.
First the Willow Conference. It was such an awesome experience. My buddy Zach Montroy told me a while back that it was possibly at the root of him going into to ministry to begin with, and I can see why. It was humbling, and inspiring, and fulfilling and about a dozen other adjectives that I won't bore you with. Basically, life altering.
Some of my take-aways.....
Seeing David Crowder Band live was awesome. I love them and was shocked when I saw them. I didn't know until they were on stage that they were going to be there.
Attending New Community, (Willow's mid-week service) was so much fun. I am from podunk Indiana and have been to very few services of that magnitude, and it was very fantastic, (in the dictionary sense of the word), to stand there and praise God with David Crowder Band and probably 6,000 other believers. I made a memory. That's for sure.
I attended four really cool break-outs. I got a lot from them all. Probably what I am most excited about, however, is the last one I attended, which was a weekend at Granger. I got to see a media clip in that breakout of a woman's story that I was so inspired by that I plan to quickly turn it into a short story and hopefully a future script for GCC. (we'll see about the latter, since I seem to be struggling with screenplay genre of writing)
....hint, hint Tom Cox. If your out there, I could use some help!
Then there was OHH. What can I say. There are no words. When I laid my head down to sleep Saturday night, I knew in my heart that without a doubt, my Father was smiling. There isn't anything else to say, ya know???? That's what it's all about. What an awesome feeling to know that I played a part in putting that smile on His face. If you picture it literally. You can't help but smile too.
All in all, a week worthy of taking a day off to process. Back to life tomorrow though. Writing an A research paper usually requires doing at least a little research.
Oh, by the way. Personality tests came up during dinner after the conference on Thursday. I hadn't taken one in a very long time, so while vegging today, which for me means sitting in front of the computer for 5 hours, I took one. I am an iNFj. I don't know exactly what that means yet, but I understand that only 1% of the world are this type. Might I just say, before anyone else does... that explains a lot!!!! lol.
have a good week friends!!!

10 Things I Learned While Training To Be A Trainer
1. Training to be a personal trainer requires more athletic stamina than actually training does.
2. I really am not 25 anymore, as I frequently pretend to be.
3. There are some challenges one can face where espresso is really not your friend (my heart
rate jumped to nearly 200 today).
4. God really does have a sense of humor (For today I was reminded that I actually prayed for
this).
5. Contrary to my longstanding opinion, there are actually situations in which exercise
really doesn't make you feel "good".
6. Personal Training is really more about sales than about training, (ironically the one job I have
intentionally avoided my whole life).
7. I'm tired
8. I'm sore
9. I may be dehydrated
10. I LOVE MY JOB!!!!
