Reflections From New Mexico

The last couple days I've been thinking alot about New Mexico. It changed some people's lives which is awesome. i think for my it refined and strengthened the vision I see God shaping up for my future.

I feel confident in a couple things.
First, I feel like I am called to lead. Although I like to just follow sometimes and do my best from behind, I think this trip really helped cement the fact that I can lead. I can be vocal and lead. I always realized I lead best by example. I figure how can I ask someone to do something if I'm just "supervising"

Three things made New Mexico different for me. First, I was cut off from outside technology(texting and facebook). Second, I was connected to a group of people who worked with you and cared about you. Third, I was constantly ministering to people. Even back at camp, I was trying to help my village.

I've been thinking why do these things have to stop now that I am back in OC. I can utilize texting and facebook to help with the second two. The second seems the most important to me. I do have a small group I love, but I think I need to expand that circle of people I build friendships with. FInally, I want to be deliberate in my actions. In class, at work, with my friends, just on the street.
