The last few days of February were spent with great friends! To start off, the BSU staff and small group leaders all went to Blue Springs for the Leadership Conference. We left Friday after everyone was out of class and drove down. We were glad it was only in Blue Springs because other than Missouri Western's BSU, we had the shortest drive of any of the colleges represented there.
We got to stay at the Mariott, so that was nice. The main speaker, Calvin Miller, was exceptional. I really enjoyed hearing what he had to say. He is an almost 80-year-old man who acts like he's 50 still. He is an accomplished writer and read many excerpts from his most recent one, "Life Is Mostly Edges" (which I plan to purchase someday). His humor, practicality, and love of others, his wife and family, and most of all God, were all easily detected. What a guy! I am still impressed with how he has continued to trust God with everything in his life. During one of the songs I saw him slip out of his chair and kneel down. I can think of people half his age that have trouble kneeling, and although it couldn't have been comfortable, he was there on the floor in the presence of The Most High. You can see a short video of this man that I was impressed with on YouTube at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-aKb06CBCw
Our weekend finished by attending the Winter Jam concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. It was definitely one of the best concerts I've been to. Some of my favorites were there! We all had a great time!
As we proceed into March, and warmer weather hopefully, I've decided to take this month off from eating unhealthy foods. I'm going to not drink soda, eat greasy fatty stuff and just be conscious of what I eat. I'm not concerned with my health or anything, just trying to stay healthy. It's hard to do in college where most things are fried or fatty. There are plenty of healthy options though, and I've been enjoying fruitful breakfasts, small, protien-rich lunches and tonight I even had some grilled fish. I'm just going to see how I feel at the end of the month, kinda as my own little experiment.
