SO, I just got back from camp.
A lot of pranking and a lot of unneeded conflict and feel that on the surface it may look like that is all that happened.
But I also leaned that the little things matter. the things I say to people just in passing may make a larger impact that I think.
I learned that I have to plan to grow in Christ. I doesn't just happen. I guess I knew this but I might not have thought of it that way.
I am so thankful because I know that I am slowing being sanctified. That sounds so theological but really it is the most beautiful and encouraging part of salvation.
Salvation happened once and in that moment christians are redeemed and considered righteous before God. and even though it is still impossible for us to be perfect we must strive for perfection. In doing this I am growing in Christ, I am being made pure; I am being sancified. It is a beautiful word. God is amazing and noting is out of his control.
I also can see more clearly that having a boyfriend for me right now would be hurtful and destructive in more ways than one. As much as it would be fun. I don't need it to complicate my life because there are more important things to focus my time and emotions and energy on.
ok well I think I am off to watch star trek and knit or organize stuff...I am still doing laundry.
