The past two weeks I have been gone from most forms of technology and computers and such. I was at a Christian Training to become a summer missionary.
God had sent me there, and I didn't really want to go.
I stayed there for eleven days, away from the computer, and I met some of the most amazing people. They became my friends. But that's not why God wanted me there.
He had wanted to show me that I had family somewhere who really cares for me. CYIA, Christian Youth In Action, the summer training I went to, was, is, and will always be that family that I have.
I became very close with them all, and I can honestly say that I love them all. We are not only brothers and sisters in Christ, but we are brothers and sister from the day we meet down there. We spend two weeks together at this training, and we learn a lot about each other.
When I got home, I realized this, and I grew a bit sad. But then I remembered that even though my family and I are separated, we still have that spiritual bond with each other, and our love for each other cannot be broken.
It's through this that I feel that I need to leave. I have been faltering in my walk with God, and putting the computer, photoshop, and the internet above Him, when I should be placing Him above them. He is the one who is more important. He should get spot number one.
God had wanted me to know this, and he sent me down there. I had not only found my spiritual self, but my spiritual and physical family.
That's why I'm leaving.
