Character Building

Yesterday we found out what we are doing in Hamilton! I am Doug's PA. Doug is the director/founder of CCM and a PA is production assistant. Basically I will be helping him and doing whatever he needs me too. I am so excited! I love CCM!

Last night was my graduation. I was not there because I am here. My AP Anna had embarrassed me all day by telling everyone in CCM and then after room meeting last night she was being all secretive and in the hall and she asked me to come out and when I came out everyone in my core was there. I totally didn't know what was going on. They made me put a hat on and walk down the hallway to graduation music and then Anna gave me a certificate and gave a speech and then I got hugs. I thought it was pretty special. I have the best core.

I have been filled with so much joy these past few days. God keeps revealing things to me and building my character. It's been soooo good. I love learning. I asked God to help me grow in discipline and I came here and that's definitely what I've been growing in. Just making that choice to run two miles or to get up early to spend time with God. Learning not to give in to your own desires and being lazy. If you want to change the world....to make a difference...sleeping in every morning, taking naps after work, going on the internet to check your facebook, twitter, email, blog every 30 minutes isn't going to get you there. Yes, I was initially doing some of those things but I noticed a lack of process and I remember being at home being so sick of wasting my life. Feeling like I wasn't making a difference. You must make that decision every day, sometimes a few times a day, that you will not allow yourself to fall into that pit of apathy and slumber. Wake up! The other day I noticed that a friend's facebook status said that they needed to undergo a serious change in priorities but they weren't sure how to do it. And I wrote below. The key is to just do it. You can tell yourself over and over again how dissatisfied you are with yourself and you want to do something but there comes a time where you just need to do something instead of talking about it. Yes, this was a lesson I learned and am still learning.

This sounds like something I would write in my other blog... In case you haven't checked it out. www.ihavezeal.wordpress.com
