live from GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA!!! it was cornerstone conference 2004. cept this time, instead of a conference it was the Urban Dip -- not to be confused with other, more dissapointing Urban related things. let me say that though i felt that there was nothing that i could be shown to finally turn me around and get my heart back on the right track, it was amazing how God worked on me all weekend and then revealed how it all came together right at the end...
connie talked about my semi-revelation in her journal, for those avid connie journal readers - go you! but to sum up, i was kinda bummed i was not interacting with the poor or serving soup to homeless people, but in fact, i think that my picking up trash, moving tables, and organizing shelves, was what God wanted me to be doing. cause, as we all know - what God desires more than our sacrifices is our obedience. the people i helped free up with my small gestures of goodness, are the people who work with the poor and lower class EVERY DAY, and it means that it one less thing they have to worry about while doing what God has called them. i think God for using me, then teaching my selfish heart a lesson...
my only regrets...? well, that i wasn't on the worship team, as always. i just feel like such a bump on a log when i am not playing my guitar. but worship was more than adequate with out me on stage - rokk on you guys (and gals!). my only other complaint was the lack of UNCG representation at a GREENSBORO event. it was darn near depressing to have more people from nearly every school than our own. i think there were 8 of us... now, considering three were in the worship band and i have already graduated, that is like... 4 people who didn't have obligation to be there. it seemed that mos people just backed out because all their friends weren't going -- which is kinda a crap reason not to. though, i must admit, is pretty tempting. i know i had thoughts of how terrible it would be since i know that so-and-so, and what's-her-name weren't going... the worst was not having enough people there to represent the G by doing the dreaded funky chicken -- not even a megan there to abstain from doing it!!!
anyways, i digress... it was great and God has taught me more than i would have thought my pretty knowledgable self could learn. i am starting to reprioritize what i spend my time on now... and i can only hope and pray that the people in my life, and the people who will start being in my life more can help me stay accountable to do these things...
oh... and brooks mcclusky is awesome - k, thanks
as always, keepin it real... REAL real...
