Mission Conference

This Friday Grace had a mission conference. I went with a terrible attitude, the whole time wishing that I has signed up to help with childcare instead of attending the actual conference. Honestly, after a whole week of lectures, sitting down for three hours just doesn't appeal. I'm so glad I went though. What really stuck with me was his question: "Does God have the authority to interrupt the course of my life?" He (sorry, I'm drawing a blank on his name) talked about how too often people sell out for a life and a purpose that is less than what God wants for you. It was convicting and has been making me think. So often I'm tempted to settle for the yellow house and Kitchen Aid blender. But I need to ask myself if this suburbia is the life God wants for me, or the one I want for myself. I just wish God would tell me clearly: "Caitlin, after you graduate, I want you to (fill in the blank)." Sadly, I don't think he always works like that. Anyway, hopefully this will make you think as well.
