Just put up a post from about three weeks ago (the one before leaving for MYC) and looking back over what I wrote, I'm quite amazed to see how MYC has impacted me and my attitudes towards different things.
I have to say it was quite intense being on the organising team. But it really was a pleasure to be a part of planning for the conference since it has always been a highlight and favourite time of year for me ever since I started attending. To see how God works through a conference such as MYC and how many students were impacted was a real blessing. And it was great to just see people having so much fun, making friends and just enjoying the whole experience. Hopefully it all just propels people to get involved in God's work at their uni and in the other areas of their life.
On a personal level, the talks by John North really spoke to me, both in challenging/convicting me and also reassuring me. In relation to my STINT application, I wrote last time that I still wasn't fully sure of my decision, but after the last talk at MYC I was much more certain to go through with it, even if my parents aren't entirely happy with my decision. Something that came up during the last talk on God's orchestration of salvation or just things in general really spoke to me as I realised that everything that has pointed towards Japan was not purely a bunch of coincidences but orchestrated by God and there was such a strong desire to be part of God's orchestration of salvation in people's lives in Japan.
This was the video that was played:
Anyway, I don't think the application process will take as long as I thought it would either and I'm aiming to get everything done by the end of this month (the interview as well). Hoping to bring it up again with my parents real soon.
