National Conference:
The national conference was awesome! So many things happened! First let me say it came at the perfect time, cause with just finishing one week with doing to VBC’S in one day just finishing, and then heading into another week with two clubs right after national conference, it was a good time to be refreshed and get rest.
I had a hard time believing that I was there at first, well I mean kinda! When I was so unsure of things at the end of the school year and when I was accepted back into Taylor to finish my third year but not be commissioned I wondered weather or not I would even be aloud to go to national conference caused it looked like I was not going to be in church army, but I was aloud to go, and boy and I ever glad!
On that first night being their with a hundred evangelist around you, to be able to worship with them, and to look to the left and right and see amazing evangelist worshiping God was sooooo powerful to see! And then to be able to put faces to the people we have been praying for. Those who have gone before us and prepared the way for us! It was such an amazing honor to meat these people. And to sit down and begin to get to know these people and their stories including what they where doing today!

The sense of family was easy to see very early on, and it was very neat. I ended up getting sick on Sunday, and I remember trying not to mention anything to many people, some people noticed, but mostly I did not want people to think I couldn’t handle things on my own, so I tried to keep my mouth shut and just enjoy the couple hours off, however by supper time I had asked a couple of people to pray for God’s healing for me cause I really did not feel well. However I was determined to make it through the night. Thanks to Carol I ended up resting all through supper, and woke just in time to make it to commissioning, where I only made it through about half the service before Carol took me home cause I was so sick I was white. I ended up staying home that Monday, and was feeling well enough to go on Tuesday morning for the ending, so when I arrived back on Tuesday I had people who I didn’t even think knew I was sick asking how I was feeling. Reed prayed with me during the brake, and so did a few other officers and I began to pick up and feel a little better by the end of the conference. But it just really overwhelmed me to see how many people cared! Thanks to all those who did pray for me, I went to get checked out that after noon and discovered I had a bladder infection and sense I have been on medication for it I have been feeling 100% better! And then to top that off, I met my cousin at the conference, which was such a special moment, I began to learn a little bit more about my Dad’s side of the family, which was great cause I have wanted to for a while now. I hope that now I know her I can keep in touch with her.

The end of the conference brought lots of sorrow, in one way, saying those good byes to those who you love and those officers you are close to! And also at the end of the conference I learnt a valuable lesson! I learnt to think before you speak! That words you speak have power and consaqwinces. And no matter how much you wish you could take them back you can’t! I am sorry for the pain that my words caused some people. And all I can is I am trying very hard not to open my mouth before thinking very hard and closely about what I am going to say! “Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.” “The words of gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to man’s inmost parts.” “a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a hash word stirs up anger.” “The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.”
