Me and Christina


 I think everything is moving faster now that we’re on the last half of the conference.  Some people might think that’s bad news…I’m ready for it to be over, myself.  Not that it hasn’t been good (most the time).  I miss my house and my little siblings and my regular life.

All the speakers have had great things to say–I don’t think I’ve heard anything that didn’t touch me somehow, or make me think.  A recurring theme has been escaping from ourselves, and the pitfalls of being self-centered and prideful, and instead turning our focus outward to others.  It’s very applicable and real. We listened to the song “Give Me Your Eyes” tonight, which was beautiful.  Very thought-provoking.

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken-hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see.
