Anyways, here are some insights that I've received from this past weekend:
- Nelson quoted from Christian Service (I can't find the quote!) saying how if one was truly full of zeal, that person would never fall. Of course for many, that is not the case. But the Bible says in Proverbs 24:16 that "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." Even though we fall, the fact that we want to get up and ask Christ to raise us up is really something. There are many that fall, and just keep on falling, and never ask to be lifted up just because they enjoy what they've landed on.
- I shouldn't live for others. I shouldn't live for the praise of men and women, but for the praise of God. I've noticed many times in my life, I do soooo many things just to get people to like me, just so they can say nice things about me. That's nice and dandy and great to do things for people and have them like you, but that's not what my life's purpose should be based upon. I should do all things for God and if some don't like it, then so be it.
- I need to make a change in my life, in my study habits, etc. I need to figure out what and who are true priorities in my life. Also, I need to start focusing! I can't depend on the fact that there were times that I've studied the night before a test and have gotten a pretty decent grade. Auntie Cheeky and the panelists made that clear in the conference today. I need to take the time to truly focus. Even though what I'm learning may not be as important as an education in spiritual things, this will help me be a blessing to God and to others and I should do the best that I can in this world.
So yeah, just some stuff I thought about yesterday and today. By the way, I just want to commend Samantha for the great job that she did today at the Pre-Professional Conference! =]
