Conviction

That's going to be the name of my life story when it becomes a movie.
So I don't get convicted like normal people. When I'm convicted, I really get convicted. Like God will tap on my shoulder every now and than and I'll just brush it off. But than when he really wants to get my attention after a while, He just punches me in the face. That's the only way I really listen. My whole chest hurts when God pushes. It's a good thing. I'll actually listen if God gives me a clear sign. I'm too blond to get His hints. He still tries to be subtle so maybe I'll learn but I still haven't gotten it. Not that I like getting punched in the face, but it sure does make it easier for me to know what God wants me to do.
So God threw a job to me. That was awesome. God also gave me some pretty cool friends to also point me in the right direction. Well, Sunday, God gave me Phil Betz to finally make me decide to go to camp. Yep, looks like I'm going to go to IRBC for a week this summer. Hopefully, as an assistant counselor for jr high week. But we'll see. I just decided this yesterday so I have til April to really make up my mind and get everything together. I just know that Sunday afternoon service was rough for me. I was clammy and fidgeting and achey and I just couldn't look at Pastor Phil at all. God was definitely laying it pretty heavy on my heart to go. I talked to my parentals about it and they told me to go for it! So did pretty much everyone I talked to. It's totally going to push me out of my comfort zone but that's good right. I never stay in a comfort zone for too long. Usually God comes along and pops my happy bubble and makes me expand to new things. Sometimes I'm not a big fan but like always it turns out to be awesome.
I talk in lot of metaphors. It's pretty fun. You should try it sometime. My thoughts are kind of speghetti and meatballs up in my head so in order for it all to make sense and not just be a big mess, I have to explain it in a way to put it all in a bowl for ya. (Like that one? ;)
Anyways, I think life is pretty much coming together now that I'm focusing on what God wants me to do. He has led me a pretty long way. Hopefully, I can keep it up and stay on the straight and narrow.
I'm getting my invites for graduation done up. Only 2 months left! Than all I have to worry about is work and getting ready for camp.
God is good. All the time.
Live long and prosper my friends.
