Well today was great. I woke up late which is my favorite thing to do. I then proceeded to go to the Hub which is always interesting. I love that place. I had a pretty laid back day. What can you do when its just the computer working and all you need to do is to baby sit it. Well it was, I guess hub cleaning day so I did my best to help out. It was really fun because I miss being there so much, just to do normal stuff was kinda cool. I love it when it is just chill there. That is the environment I want to work in someday for sure.
I had some more time to process Boston and had a little help as well. I love unpacking stuff like Boston after the fact because it helps me to learn from mistakes and get better. Stuff like that; true, honest feedback really helps me to try and better myself. I am so glad that I have friends that I allow to walk me through that kind of stuff. I think I would be a pretty rough person to be around if I didn't have friends I could trust.
So in hindsight as for Boston I only have one regret. That would be the first night because I got a little snippy because I need to learn how to effectively handle many people trying to talk to me at once and be calm about it. So I got past the whole one person wanting me and being chill with that I just need to get better.
Things Learned:
The value of listening: Someone recently asked me why I get the opportunities I do. One reason I think I do is because I know when to not run my mouth. Sometimes you just need to shut-up and do what you are told without expressing feedback of your own. I am not always the best with it but I'm getting there. Honestly in Boston, I did this out of fear. I really don't know what to say to adults or leaders of our district. I was just happy when they talked to me and they knew my name. So that was pointed out to me. Good lesson.
Humility: Always a good thing to be reminded of. The quiet leader will gain so much more out of life.
So yeah Boston was awesome. I think it, in many, it was what I always wanted to do with the guys. Its kinda cool to look back on life. There was this one conference called daybreak that I was really upset about when I couldn't go. Honestly Boston was the experience I wanted through that. Boston was that and so much more. I am so glad I didn't quit after that whole situation. I am equally thankful for the Grace people gave me through that whole experience. Now I wouldn't change a thing.
Boston did show me another thing. The most important thing actually. I could do this stuff for the rest of my life. Even through the lack of sleep, the stress, and the little quirks it is worth every second to glorify Christ. The most important thing out of any of this rambling is how Christ was glorified by our work. The work of a whole team of people with humility and a love of Christ. The mere work of man being used to glorify a sovereign God is an awesome thing.
