While I was there I heard a lot of messages from some very good Christian leaders and missionaries. A lot of heart warming stories and a lot of heart wrenching stories. I walked around and talked with some good friends and some really awesome new friends. It's always a time for people in ministry to be encouraged and feel loved by thebrothers and sisters in attendence.
I also took care of some very exciting business. This business I will share at a later date with all of my lovely readers. Let's just say at least for now I have a plan, something I've never sincerely had. This growing up thing is hard but if I can do it with what little success I have so can any average joe, for I am the female version of this average joe.
The love and encouragement I have encountered just in a few days has been overwhelmingly amazing. The convention stuck with its "commissioned" so well that I see where I have faltered in the ways that I have been commissioned as a follower of Jesus. In seeing the areas where I can improve I become excited that I can make a difference in myself and in the world through the help of God. It also makes me sad that these areas in which I falter...I haven't done anything in them until now. I see where I have lacked confidence and faith, where being the leader I should be was not enough even among human standards.
Comparatively...human standards are pretty low.
So I continue to improve to become a better witness for Christ, I would hope that you also might take a look at the commission of Matthew 28:18-20 and see what you could improve on for Christ's sake. We must love deeper, care more compassionately, be evermore brokenhearted for the lost and hurting, and live less safely. We need to do this because the world is waiting to hear about this Savior, either for the first time, or portrayed correctly. The world needs real commissioned-minded Christians.
All to God
