Real fast! (Weekend of Worthiness, Disney World)

Okay so less than 24 hours to go and I'll be on my way to Florida!! I am going to a Kappa Delta Pi conference (Teacher's Honor Society I am in here @ TX State). I am very excited to go, my friend M.T. and I are going to have a blast! We get to be roomies, wahoo!! We are going to receive our A.C.E. award (Achieving Chapter Excellence), which is an award only a few chapters in the Nation receive!

I will do a brief shpill about the Pen Pal Project that I coordinated here this semester. I haven't got it word for word yet but hey, I'll pull it together by Saturday ;)

On another note I just got back from an excellent retreat this weekend. We went to T bar M in New Braunfels Friday-Sunday with the BSM. We had a worship time on Friday, Served in the community (I worked in gardens/flower beds for two widows in town) & Worship on Saturday, then Sunday service @ 3 churches in the area. It was a great time with an excellent encouragement from God's word. One thing that stood out to me was this.....

Our focus was "Walking Worthy". The speaker told us he knew the key to a simpler life (which we all could use) so this got us all interested and focused. He then went on to say,

"Living daily for God should not be one of your goals in life, or even the number one goal in your life, it should be the ONLY goal for your life."

 I LOVED this quote. It put so much into perspective and was a good reminder of how simple life really is intended to be. I tend to go for the more "simplistic" versions of many things but after hearing him talk about how many "goals" we set up for ourselves (please others, be the best teacher, be the best wife/husband, best roommate, work out the most etc.) I realized I have allowed my life to become far more complicated then the Lord created it to be. He obviously wants me to do all of these things because he blessed me with the abilities to do so, but to worry about or allow them to rule my life is not the purpose, but for His glory...oh what a great weekend!

I hope it can be as much encouragement to you as it was me. A new song out is "How He Loves" by David Crowder Band. It's lyrics are soo true and really summed up the weekend for me. Check out the link below to watch/hear it!
