Whoa. The Holy Spirit has been at work in my spirit this weekend. On Friday night, I went to Navs and the topic was Loving God and Loving Others. At first, I was like, oh, well what new can be said? This subject is taught again and again in the church (and for good reason). But then the speaker said something that convicted me. He was talking about how important it was to listen to others and ask them genuine questions. I consider myself a good listener but often I don't follow up with any questions. And oftentimes I find myself checking out when someone starts telling me a long story. So that is definitely something I will be working on.
Conviction number 2 came during Campus House today. The pastor was talking about fear and how it can control our lives. If we constantly let fear rule our thoughts then it paralyzes us from doing anything. I know personally that fear is something that affects me. I get scared when I think about the future. I worry about what people will think of me if I say something that they think is out of line. It's definitely not something that I want to be true about my life. I want the peace of Christ to rule my life and write my story. That's the next area of my life that I will be working on.
Thanksgiving break starts tomorrow afternoon, I can't wait to go home! I miss my family and my friends back home. It will be nice to get away for a while.
