being forgettable.

This past weekend I was at the all girls conference at Hume Lake. Kind of having an idea of what to expect, I went into the weekend with the mindset that I would just kind of hear the cliche, the 'your made in Gods image, God loves YOU' cliche that we can get so caught up in, but that was not the case. In the first prayer of the conference, Sheri Lewis, prayed for herself to be forgetable. Now while that happened I just thought to myself, why would you WANT people to forget you? we are called to make this mark on the world shining Gods light, yet you are telling me to be forgotten. Further on that day, it hit me. Do we live life to be remembered? Realizing thats how i live my life so often, I was encouraged to change. Living a life for Christ involves portraying to people why you live your life, why you have so much confidence, and why you love the way you do. In a devotional book I read, it said, 'Do you show others that you have confidence in yourself, or confidence in Christ?'--- relating this to being forgettable, radically changed not only my weekend, but also the way I live daily in accordance to what God has called me to do. be forgettable.















oh ya & for Halloween I was a gnome.
