Sorry I haven't updated in a week. I'll try to keep this short.
Friday last week we camped with another action group which was a lot of fun. And good to hang out with some of the other guys. We talked about chicks a lot and relationships in general which was good and encouraging! The view was incredible too!
Saturday I got a lot of good time in with some of the Arkansas dudes. Got a few good conversations in with them. Just processing how we are getting along with everyone and how much we are ready to be home and start our ministry there!! There was also some more girl talk which is good to think through.
Then open mic night was hilarious!! I'm proud of my Mizzou dudes for actin a fool and reppin us well. It was a really funny night and I got to hang out with a good amount of people and meet a few. It was good to talk to some of the project girls just to get to know them better. I also had a good time actin a fool and enjoyin myself for sure!!
Last night was good and bad. During our meeting there was the issue of language and smoking brought up in the meeting. A lot of the guys including me have smoked pipes on and off during project and I kinda like it. Its relaxing but the issue was doing it around other project guys who feel uncomfortable with it. The language thing was just the quality of what we talk about. You can imagine that an all guy conversation can get interesting and sometimes inappropriate. Basically I felt bad for both those things and kinda got pissed. I then got to talk it out with my buddy Dieber and it was really good. I realized that I don't like being told what to do and how much of a pride issue I have. I also just need to make sure that I constantly check who I'm around and make sure I'm not hurting my witness or the witness of others around me!
Then tonight was a lot of fun we went indoor rock climbing for manhood development and talked about trust. It was a lot of fun because I haven't done that much at all...everyone seemed to have fun which was good to see when you organize something!!
Overall God has been showing me a lot of how broken I really am and how much I struggle with pride. I think very highly of myself and thats not the way God intended it. I have also been checking my intentions behind stuff of late. Making sure I do things for the glory of God and not myself. Making sure I don't act too crazy and attract too much attention to myself because I like it so much. I really struggle with wanting to be the center of attention. I think this is a new thing for me but I need to work on it.
God is good and he is teaching me a lot!! I am really ready to come home though...
