Ignite conference has been awesome so far and there’s one session remaining to the end of the conference. It’s been good with applicable sermons that were clear enough for me to understand and say that I enjoyed it, hehe. I lost track of time because the schedule is packed and it doesn’t leave much room for free time, but it’s been rewarding for sure.

I think God’s teaching me to be okay with loosening up my life a bit. It’s okay if things don’t go according to the plans, it’s okay if I don’t get my agendas done in a day, not to say that I can live a careless life. Although I may not be accomplishing everything that I’d like to during this conference, like getting the ignite conference kit from my lifegroup done, it’s not about getting it done, at all. As long as my actions are exemplifying and glorifying God, it’s all good.

Few days later…

So the ignite conference is over now and I’m journaling a bit late… I must say that I enjoyed the conference very much. Probably because of many nights of prayer for the conference and the work day in preparation for it, I can confess that it’s been a rewarding one. The small groups were especially awesome. Props to the group #12, we had more non-Ann Arbor people than those from the campus here, and I got to meet so many people. Through those 10 other people, we were able to share and support one another, especially at the cottage inn where we shared a lot. Gosh, God is so good. He opened up a sister’s heart that refused to believe in His power, yay.

I believe God wants me to loosen up a bit and trust in all things, despite the day not going according to the original plan. I know that nothing happens without a reason, and each serves a purpose for something in the future. I had to step out of third session because of a friend, and I really didn’t want to miss out the sermon but being there for a friend was just as important too. I ended up sharing ugliness of my life and I really hope it opened his heart a bit more towards Christ. Did I need to meet him to be there for support? No, but I know God wanted me to. Missing the session was a bummer but losing the opportunities to support a friend in need would be a bumming experience too.

Ignite has been so exhausting due to the fewer hours of sleep and an unending schedule, yet I am confident that it was a worthwhile experience that brought healing and love from our Christ. It’s still hard to believe how quickly God has united a bunch of us with differences together. Different people, different locations, but the same God. It’s like I have a worldwide coverage since I can reach him anytime, wherever I am 🙂
