Wow. This is the first blog that I have written in a while. So much has been going on. But it actually has been amazing! I had the opportunity to pass first cuts for RA. Going through the past week for the second round has been quite an experience! For one thing, I have to say that I wish it was a required thing for everyone in leadership to do. I say this because I have definitely learned a lot about myself just in one week. I also have been able to tap into better understanding what God wants me to do with my life. But then on the spiritual standpoint, I have been able to see my strengths and weaknesses. I've learned a new level of humility. I have been able to see more clearly the areas in my life that I need to grow in. I'm not sure if I'm going to make RA or not, I really hope I do, and I'm confident that I will... but if I don't, I won't feel like I wasted any time. I enjoyed this experience, learned SO much. I will never take it back.
One thing that I really learned this week is how far I've come. Sometimes you won't realize it until you're given the opportunity to share. Last night, my host RAs asked us to share our story/testimony. I have shared my testimony with my Prayer Group last semester, but for some reason, sharing my testimony with another leader was different. I haven't had the chance to share with my RAs fully yet, which I know will come, but for me, it was the first time that I shared my story with a leader. I kind of set a goal for myself this year to be transparent. So for me to be comfortable enough to share my story, it was actually amazing. I have grown to the point where I've learned how to forgive, learned how to trust God, learned how to grow.
But I did get a chance to do cleanliness checks, convo checks, curfew checks, fire drills. Haha I like it a lot.I would really enjoy the responsibility.
Definitely met some awesome people in the process.. Been a GREAT experience. =)
