hot mugginess
hmmm…so another week begins. Craziness with the unwarned TTC strike today. It took my cousin 2 1/2 hours to drive downtown to work. Man am I blessed to be able to walk to work and not worry about transportation.
There was a wedding this past weekend, Toby’s to be exact. Was invited but didn’t go, kind of regretting it now. I thought my parents weren’t going, but turns out they were only not going to the banquet. Also thought that I wouldn’t know anybody (Toby’s the son of my parents’ friends, so I don’t really know him), but turned out I probably would have known half the people there. Heard it was a great wedding and a lot of fun, but yeah, kind of wishing I could have been there. Ah well, wishing Toby & his new wife a great life together!
And so it’s been a week since CC ended. I’ve processed things a bit more, caught up on some sleep (could use some more though), and just still in awe of everything. Already mentioned in my previous post how I was humbled by God’s providence. But I was also humbled in another way: my pride just being smashed to pieces. I guess throughout the planning and especially during the conference, I had the attitude, “Look at this conference I’m helping plan.” I wasn’t outright boasting vocally, but still, it was in the back of my mind. And so, trying to suppress that thought all weekend, but it was still there and on the last day, me and my big head was half expecting some sort of huge thank you for me and my work. *rolls eyes* When it didn’t come, wow, was heart brought to its knees. Realizing it wasn’t about me or what I did, but about Jesus and what He did. It’s all about Him, always has been, always will be. Not a new lesson for me, but one that I seem to have to be reminded of and retaught every so often.
It’s all about you, Jesus. And all this is for You, for Your glory and Your fame. It’s not about me, as if you should do things my way. You alone are God and I surrender, to Your ways.
humbled and blessed
Wow, it's been crazy over the last couple of weeks. For those of you don't know, I've been helping organize the Campus Challenge conference over the past 8-9 months and we just finished the conference earlier today. All I can say is that I have been humbled and blessed beyond imagination. Humbled by how God has just supplied EVERYTHING, from the finances to the help to the energy and stamina to continue on. Blessed by all the people that have helped make this conference come together. It couldn't have been done without God's work through all those people. So, thanks to all!
I'm just beat right now and still trying to process everything that has happened over the past weekend. I'll probably post another entry once I've rested and gotten my mind around everything.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
~ Matt. 5:5 ~
