It is sometimes good to get away and let God deal with you when you're outside of your normal environment and normal comfort zone. I believe God has more of your attention in these situations.
So for the first part of this weekend, I was in Fort Wayne (which isn't a fort by the way...) for the Regional Cleansing Stream retreat. We got there late because our car was full of good students that wanted to go to their friday afternoon classes. I was very confused when we first got there, but by saturday morning, I was getting the hang of things.
What they did was talk about some issues and give us some biblical foundations about the topics and some practical instruction on how to overcome things. It was very hands-on and all of the people in charge were very gracious about everything.
I wasn't sure what to expect from the retreat. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the Cleansing Stream class when I first signed up and decided to do it. But as I often do with God (and I will always, always, always recommend this strategy. you can't lose with it) I kept an open mind about this.
While I won't explicitly tell you what happened personally on this blog entry (but if you ask me in person, I would be more than happy to share...), all I can say is this: I have never felt so free in my life. I feel like I am on some kind of high, like a gust of wind could carry me away. I feel as if I received my very own personal breakthrough. The last month or so had been kinda tough with my collegiate career winding down and the general feeling of anxiety associated with trying to find something to do after school is done. People always asking me if I have something lined up. Those career questions are legitimate questions, but I just am tired of having to say I have no idea. I had mostly felt peace about the unknown anyway (and for those of you that really know me, that's a miracle from God himself), but it still gets on my nerves somewhat. But no matter how I feel, God has a plan for me and I accept His version. There is a reason why He is God and I am not...
In conclusion: Isaiah 26:3-4
