Well, I haven't been on here for awhile, but I thought I would start up again to record my thoughts at the Presbyterian Church's General Assembly.
General Assembly (as defined by Wikipedia) is "the highest court of Presbyterian polity. Each presbytery selects a number of its members to be commissioners (that's what I am!) to the general assembly. The general assembly is chaired by its own moderator, who is usually elected to a two-year term." It's like the Federal Government of the Presbyterian Church.
So, while I'm at GA, I think I will blog everyday.
This may be something that will end up sitting in the back of my mind and never getting done, but I'm thinking right now that it would be a pretty cool vessel for those at home to "experience" this whole thing with me. A lot of times I go away and experience great things in life and then come home and say, "Yeah mom, it was fun."
>>I can't possibly translate all I learned in one conversation.
So maybe if I take you with me, it will be more effective.
I hope I have time to do it.
I will be a Youth Advisory Delegate (YAD), which is a youth commissioner. The Assembly takes place in San Jose, CA, and my plane leaves in a matter of hours, so I should be packing...
Pray for me this week that I may make a difference and hear God's guidance clearly, without my own opinions mixed in. : )

Addie,
ReplyDeleteYou are already underway on your trip. I am excited for you that this week is finally happening. I remember you talking about it for a long time, going over events, schedules, and reading material. It is now HERE!! I am guessing that you will be on sensory overload for a while, take some time to soak it all in. You are going to be in California, live it up diva. Through meeting amazing people, sharing in discussions, arguing, getting frustrated, and experiencing joy, God will be working in you. I am glad that you are going to be taking the time to blog every day. Not only will it help me keep busy at work and help me follow what you are doing, but it will help you put some of your thoughts down and evaluate where God is moving in you. Have fun and stay open for new ideas. See you in New York.
I told you Erin's the only one that can get away with calling me diva. Don't try that again.
