STAFF TRAINING

...is sucking my life away! love meeting the counselors and teaching classes and hanging out, but when you come fresh off of working an 8-5 day... it is pretty intense! so i probably won't be blogging much til the end of may! 


and on a less enthusiastic, but very blunt note:


 i just want to say that i have a SEVERE pride issue and am hoping that this summer will be a revolutionary summer that knocks that down. i am praying that the Lord will break me of some of my bitterness and resentment i have built up against those who i never found time to forgive. 


i am praying for the desire to desire to change and grow. 


i am crying out for the determination to consistently, genuinely seek the Lord and his purpose for my heart.


i am trusting in the Lord's response to my immaturity and need for growth and wisdom.


i am believing in a work carried onto completion.


this is not to be dramatic. but authentic. i had a conversation today with someone who is confused about their position for the summer. but she was SO genuine about where she was that it encouraged and refreshed me. she told me her honest feeling in a way that can, at times, walk a fine line between negativity and "being real". but this time, it was REAL. her honesty was so refreshing and energizing.


i am to honest to probably ever be considered refreshing. but in the spirit of keeping it real, i am totally struggling with pride. and i would love your prayers and accountability as i (finally) begin to battle against it.
