I still think its sorta disheartening how many divisions there are among Chrisitians. There seems to be so much tension between different groups here at college and all over the world. I guess we are all drawn to worship God in our own different ways. I wish that sometimes we could just throw aside all of our differences and worship together. I spent a few good hours of the day online looking at all of the larger inter-collegiate Christian groups out there. InterVarsity, Navigators, Campus Crusades, and countless others. All so similar, yet all different. Does PSF fit anywhere into any of these groups? Do I fit anywhere into these groups?
I discovered at the retreat, with the help of three great people, that I've been struggling with ideas of acceptance and other related topics recently. Acceptance among the secular community and acceptance among the Christian community. Someone said something that summed up to "God is your friend, and is always there for you." I already knew this, but hearing it from someone else that I respect really made it resonate in my mind and heart. I feel like this is something that I still struggle with so much. I know that He's always there, but I am still continually looking for approval from everyone else in the world. I think it comes down to an issue of trust.
Why can't I trust God with my whole heart? I desperately want to. As in all relationships, I guess it's just one of those things that you have to work on and will improve over time.

"Take my world apart... for I want to know You more...."
