So... Apparently I haven't been on here in 2 months, but I've just been super busy (I think).
GSP. Was AWESOME. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have changed a single thing that happened there (except maybe falling for the boy thing). To this day I still talk with about 5 people from there, and one I believe is in the process of becoming a very close friend and confidant. Amanda is a Godly woman, who relates to me in so many ways, and we are always there for each other!
So... NonChristians. I LOVE THEM! Hahaha this summer I had so much fun getting out of my little Christian bubble, experiencing so many new things! No, I didn't have some conversation with an atheist, and with my knowledge helped them find Christ; actually, I didn't have a truly religious conversation with any unbeliever there. I spoke through my actions, my stances, my differences. I didn't have to pray in public or carry my Bible around to let others know I was a Christian.
You see, I went to GSP with not a single soul knowing I was a believer, and that was so freeing!! Without always realizing it, Christians usually do good works so that others will notice and think of us as "better or Super-Christians". I'm guilty of that probably more than anyone else out there. No lie. But when no one expects you to be a virgin, to not curse, or to believe in Creation, but you are, you don't, and you do, it comes as a shock. I didn't have to be super spiritual; I just had to live out my faith and how I had been raised. By the end of the 5 weeks, multiple people told me how I had encouraged them or challenged them in their faith, and I hadn't even had a true conversation with them about Christ. Our God is an awesome God!!!
This leads to college. Since Bible and Beach God has put it on my heart to attend a secular college, living my faith out so others could see Him on a daily basis. GSP made this calling even more profound. As of late, I have applied to Asbury, Transylvania, and Milligan, with Transy as my secular-private school. I'm visiting on the 30th, with Amanda, and I hope I love it!
College. Whoever gives me the best scholarships is where I will most likely go... God will provide and will communicate clearly His path for me! So, I guess I'll know by February, or at least have a better idea. :)
