NACA Conference

So last week we, my team and I, went to a National Association of Campus Activities conference. There my eyes were opened to such a secular world. We heard comedians and singer and poets who threw curse words and sex around like they were a day old newspaper article. I am not use to this and it bothered me. I think out of approx. 16 comedians we could book only one and that is if she could clean up her act. I love to laugh, but it is sad that all moral codes have to go out the window. The conference was good and I learned from the educational sections but as far as the entertainment side, I saw nothing that was incredible for my university. I learned about myself during this conference and I saw the amazing part of the lou.

The World

As I look at the news on the web, I am thankful. I live in a wonderful blessed country. Yes we do have heartache, like the shootings on campuses, but overall we dont have government overthrows and racial/ethnic battles (at least not obvious ones). We have a pretty peacefull existence. Yes we do have wars, and I know wars have effected my family, being a military child. But at least we don't see it on our front lawn everyday. I grew up not knowing much of the world, as I was very sheltered, but my eyes are opened everyday and I learn more. I just wanted to write a note of thanks mainly to God for placing me in the country I now live in.

My campus is burning, I'm not sure with what yet. I would like to say brokeness, but of that I am not sure. Perhaps it is with insecurities, tiredness, and lonliness. We were challenged today in chapel with Christ's face before us. I cry out for my campus, my burning desire is to see them in heaven. But at what cost? What will this mean to me? Will I seem like a fanatic, crazy, and confused. Will I still have the respect I have tried so hard to build. But what does that all do and go? NO Where! God, now I cry out for myself to fall on my face and worship you, I give you all. I know I will fall but please let me know you are there to rebuke me and tell me I am yours. Give me the strength to send away all of my insecurities and know you are there. I am yours send me.
