On Project I Learned...

On our last morning together, all the students shared what they learned over the past four weeks and what they want to take home with them. It was a great time of sharing, worship and prayer!

Here are some of the things they said:

"I want to spend more time alone with God. It's been really amazing to talk to God in my rock down by the water for an hour or two every day. I want to devote more time and not just cuz I'm supposed to, but because I want to"

"I used to want and ignore bad, but I've learned to accept bad in people and that is a part of them. I know see why I get along with my friends because I have bad too"

"I've learned that I put way to much on my plate and get stressed out. The boundaries bike ride really revealed that to me. I'm going to take away boundaries and give myself time to spend with God. I also need to let go of control. You can only do so much for people and you can't control them. I need to rely on the Holy Spirit."

"I really learned a lot about adulthood and boundaries. I'm learning to take responsibility for myself and not the growth of others. I've also learned a lot about myself"

"I've learned to be a risk taker: outdoors and in everyday life, like talking to a stranger in the grocery store. It's not always easy, but it can be fun and I like it"

"One big thing I'll take home is everything we talked about on Men's night. It was really provoking." (They talked about rejecting passivity, chivalry, justice, and weakness)

"It is OK and good to be vunerable. I usually keep everything surface level. The group is only going to be as deep as the shallowest person, I'm a leader on cmapus and need to let people really know me."

"A lot about myself. Especially with the solo day and finding out how God's made me, what I'm good at, and where I need to grow. I've been searching for what God wants me to do and really asking for direction. Seeing how God created me and where a job would match up. I know myself a lot more then I did a month ago."

"Taking risks and being vulnerable. It is not something I enjoy, but I've learned it's important to initiate when something is bothering me. Talking is no one of my strong points, but it is the only way you bond."

"I learned what it means to be more of an adult and own my actions and thoughts, what it means to be more of a man and take initiative and not be so passive."
