It works! Now about Onething
In person I usually try to stay short and to the point. When I type i have no limits so there's a chance you might have to read alot, in that case since i know my stories can be long and boring, I'll try to make it as fun as possible. Also the only people who'll actually read this is the group from Onething so I won't have to go into too much detail.
Now to begin, I have to mention how much Onething really meant to me. I look back at what I use to do and think about during the times before the conference. I was lost, confused, and didn't know what to do with the people around me since they had some impact on who I was. The conference changed everything and is leading me to a road which God wants me to go (I think).
I'm pretty sure now what my future holds for me. I don't want to share all of it because all my hopes and dreams are always way out there and end up making me embarrassed. But! I do know the world needs us and I'm proud to be one of the people to change it.
I'm so excited. To make a difference in the greatest time the Earth has ever seen. Personally I'd rather have a post-rapture because I've always had that longing to be great. I want people to know that I had a great impact for God's army. I've always been his soldier. Lately though I've been a little concern and cautious about how i think, making sure pride doesn't rule me. If it goes to far I'm sure God will give me a sign to let me know.
To sum this up and still being very vague, I've changed, and for the better. I really have to give my thanks to the 9 other people who were with me at Onething. If I were with any other group, I might have left with nothing changed in my daily life. I feel so blessed and thankful that I got to watch and listen to the fine people I stayed with. Of course I'm thankful God planned this out from the beginning. I think back and I know God wept everyday for me, but deep down couldn't wait for this day (actually Dec.28 when the conference started).
So much more to say, but for another time. I've got homework to do. I'll be praying for you guys.

You are the best. I love you to pieces Andy.
You know what Andy, you keep dreaming big! God's got big dreams for you, so don't let anyone try to make you downsize them!
I agree about the post-trib rapture thing, but whatever God wants to do is cool with me too. ;-) I think we all have a desire to be great, (Without checking my notes, I think it was Mike Bickle that was talking about that) but it all comes down to how you define greatness. As I was typing and thinking about that, a verse came to mind, "Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant." That's so cool, but so hard sometimes, especially serving people who are unappreciative or just plain don't like you. That's something I've been working on. Asking myself more, "What can I do that will best serve this person, rather than myself." It's hard, but I think it'll probably get easier once we make a habit out of putting others first. That's the cool (and sometimes bad) thing about habits, whatever you cultivate through repetition becomes a part of who you are. And the pride thing too--gotta watch our backs on that one. It's the sin that Christians most often get tripped up on and are blindsided by. Kudos to your for realizing that so early one. (Now don't get a big head about that!) ;-) lol.
Anyway, I'm so glad you came with us Andy. The group was so amazing and totally put together by God. I can't wait to hear (read) about what God's gonna do in your life/h.s./church/family! I'm glad you type more than you talk (not that I like that you don't talk much, just glad that you type more than that) because it means that I'll get to read lots about what's going on. (if you only typed as much as you talked, there wouldn't be as much to read . . . I think you probably get what I mean.)
Aywho, I probably better get going, I have to register for "classes" (independent study p.e. & internship) sometime today, although I'm not really sure what time that is.
Peace out brother, and ditto what Steph says. You are super special. Don't let the enemy or anyone else convince you of anything different!!!
Andy, update your blog! :) i wanna hear what you have to say! i love you.
