As you can see, my blogging efforts failed me yesterday.  We do have internet access at our host home during the conference, but last night, blogging just didn’t make it on my list of things to do.  There wasn’t much to say, anyhow.

So, in summary, I’ve just finished my first day at the MASTERS conference.  I survived, contrary to all my forebodings, and I’m trying to let God use it to my benefit.  Only crying once thus far is an accomplishment.  But all in all, it hasn’t been as bad as I feared–the classes have been interesting, and it’s nice to be here with lots of friends.  It doesn’t rank as a particularly enjoyable experience for me…but at least it isn’t sheer torment.

Hopefully, this week will help me learn to trust God even in my worst moments, when I feel like…hiding in the car.

“For Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, [...] in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.”  — 2 Cor. 12:10

I wish I was a better example of that verse.
