Final Week

This is our final week at Link Year and it has been filled with tears. It's going to be super hard to leave this group of people that have walked alongside me the past 8 months. We started the week off with LinkOlympics. This was a really fun Mystery Monday activity that everyone enjoyed. The best part of this activity was when the girls played powder-puff football. It got really intense but was so fun!!
Jonathan Pokluda from Watermark Church in Dallas came to speak to us for our final week. He talked to us about the pitfalls that we will face in college. The first one being narcissism. Our generation is the most narcissistic generation that has ever walked the face of this earth. That is a sad statistic. Christians are called to be servants and to love our neighbors as ourself, not be narcissistic. The second pitfall was lack of commitment. Our generation doesn't make commitments. The Bible tells us in Matthew 5:37 "let your yes be yes and your no be no." If we make a commitment we need to follow through with it and stop making up excuses to get out of things we don't want to do. JP suggested that if we ever want to get out of a commitment we should go to the person and say hey I know I made a commitment to you, will you let me out of this commitment? If the person responds yes then great, but if they say no then you have to respect that and honor the commitment you made.
