Day 61 - Staying Steady
I am learning that its much more difficult to lead your peers than it is to lead youth or those older than you.
Lectures began again and Jodi spoke on how to stay steady when your circumstances are not. She told many stories about when this has happened and what they do. Very simple. 1. Go to God for His perspective 2. Stick to the facts (who is God? who are you in Christ?) 3. Don't speed up just take things one step/day at a time.
Also, she mentioned the struggle of overcoming moodiness (that may have been caused by unsteady circumstances). If you are moody:
* Get some sleep
* Be quiet - Unless you like having to apologize later
* Change your scenery/environment
* Lean on your closest friends
* Don't get too serious - look for people to help you have some fun
* Discover your most effective and healthy coping skills
Good old practical advice. She went on to teach more about the lies that attack us when we are about to do something significant in ministry.
I spent the afternoon meeting with Noah (housemate/staff member) and then working on the website for No Longer Music. Finally, I met with Nigel and went through a Theophostic prayer session. It was my first experience with it and it wasn't very pleasant. My insides are all stirred up. We are going to meet again next week since we didn't seem to finish. I think theophostic is good but its tough.
