Tuesday, I drove up to visit some of the friends I met this summer. Mattie and Mike go to school at IC and Rachelle has joined a full-time team, and her team put on a concert. I got there around 4pm and just chilled with all of them, and Racehlle’s team was very nice, I enjoyed their company, I enjoy being around CTI people, they are amazing, it’s so awesome to me, even though I didn’t know them, like there’s just something inside all of us that is in sync with everyone else who has been apart of CTI.
I loved the concert... but I loved wrapping cords, and helping them pick up afterwards, it reminded me of all the fun times I had in Honduras wrapping cords, talking to Jeriel, watching Devlin fake trip so he could re-wrap a cord that someone didn’t do correctly, so that they wouldn’t feel bad [they were only trying to help].
But, one of the highlights, that made the most impact on me, was talking to Mattie, she was such a great encouragement to me that night. I told her my life updates, and then I told her that lately I was feeling very apathetic towards the things at GC, just that I didn’t see a point in getting involved with anything here at the school because I was leaving, and how I know it’s not the right attitude, but I still just can’t seem to get out of this funk.
She told me, well get involved, it will be good for you when you do leave and have to put yourself out there, for real! Use the opportunities that you have.
I love being with CTI people, I felt more real than I have in a while, I think part of it is because we all are open and honest with each other about God, we talk about our relationship with Him together; for me, when I talk to other people, it’s just theological stuff, it’s not about how God knows us personally... and what He’s teaching us personally.
CTI has been such a blessing. This is for Mattie “I’ve been changed for the better” because.... that’s from Wicked right? =]
