So where to begin,
this past May I got the awesome opportunity to go to Rockbridge in Goshen va, a young life camp that Intervarsity christian Fellowship used for three weeks. Contrary to popular belief this was my first time actually going, and it was so worth it. I was so encouraged to see a group of college students (freshman to seniors) on fire for God. Since when does a couple hundred college students spend a week together and just worship God and grow in faith with one another? Not often. I got the chance to talk to people from other chapters and make better connections with people in my very own. A few people who really touched my heart were my IV peeps from UNCC, Salem, and Elon. They are all amazing individuals, and I was truly blessed to have gone to Rockbridge the same week as them. It was awesome to see how they constantly encouraged and were there for members of their own chapter, and willing to pray for each other. Not to mention outgoing. Man how I wish our schools were closer.


But that shall not stop me for visiting (hopefully). I also had the opportunity to go to a few seminars, most of which were for the C-team track. I was glad I was at Rockbridge and decided that I needed to figure out what exactly I am supposed to be doing on my own leadership team and where God is leading me. One of the many seminars that hit home for me was Wes Barts on "The Character & Soul of a Leader" : I mean this is why I went . To learn how to better lead my chapter. Through his talk , he mentioned Big kid britches and children, and so on. I thought it was funny, but the thing that hit home for me was when he mentioned ; " Are you being a Christian Consumer?" I am? Was I? I realized I was , I was not doing the job God had called me to do on my campus. I was being done when I was done, Not when God said I was. I needed to start seeing others with God's eyes and not my own. I was so ready to get back to campus and start fall semester, and use what I learned. This was a very good , but draining (in a good way)/ encouraging week.

If this week was not a taste of what Heaven would be like, I don't know what is
