Who Am I? Convention 2010
I was randomly playing the radio on Klove when the said do you ever feel like you have a life but its just missing something or you just feel unloved or not important at that moment? So I sat there on my Bed and though I do feel that way and a lot and I'm one that's complaining about every little thing of life instead of what I should be happy I have in life. While I was thinking on that subject I also remembered the first thing I heard at youth group my first week from Sean Sirverii my old youth pastor he first said if you think your not important catch onto to this "if you have a Pulse you have a purpose" which was incredible to me cause our youth group was then changed from Waterline to Pulse in which all the letters standed for something. P:purpose U:uniqueness L:love S:surrender E:everyone. The first time i started going to youth I wasn't sure about it but that next week only my second time of coming to youth Sean really connected with me and decided to take a step and ask me if i wanted to go to Youth convention that year. My dad talked to my mom about it and they decided to let me go for many reasons partly because my dad had gone to the same youth many years ago as a little boy and knew it was safe and knew a lot of people going with us. I got the money raised easy because i was so excited to be able to got to something like this mostly cause im the type that just does not fit in and i usually get left out of stuff a lot. That year i went and the travel down was at first me as miss silent and quiet girl..then it all changed when Sean said that people needed to come and meet me cause i was sitting all alone and not knowing what to do with not knowing anyone but the pastor.The kids started coming over and telling me how exciting that convention was going to be and I then went back and started playing the card game mapuia with the group :D the conventions theme this year was "who am I?" the basics were are we who we want to be by Gods judgement or by other people's friends? In John 135 it says lord asks who are you bringing also g to save? There is only so much time and so many opportunities. Also we learned that we should know our real self before we start sharing with others. While I was at convention this week I also had an opportunity to be a witness and follow Gods calling we were all up front all 3000 teens and leaders to be exact and all of a sudden I felt God telling me to go pray for this one person out of all those people and I kept fighting myself trying not to go to the calling cause I was scarred finally I forced myself over and started praying and she sat down and started crying uncontrollably and we got to talk and actually have been friends since that year to today and her name is Tara tracker but now she's off to collage so I don't see her much but the amazing thing was I changed her and forever and thick what would have happen if I didn't follow Gods calling? So next time you think should I follow othe calling or not think what would happen if you didn't but if you did how well you would feel :D
