This blog will be my attempt not only to improve my writing skills, but also to figure things out better down the road in life.

Chrysalis Flight #38
"My name is Lindsay Daniel, I'm currently a passenger of Chrysalis Flight 38; and I sit at the table of DOORS; which stands for Daughters Of the Only Risen Savior."
*CLAP*
This weekend, I experienced the most touching thing I ever have in my whole entire life. Atop a mountain with strangers, NO cell phone service whatsoever, no idea of what time it was- but more importantly, no DESIRE to know what time it was or what was going on down below me. I honestly thought of Ryan a total of maybe four times. Yes, I missed him tons, but I was SO focused on God and our relationship. I can't share too much about it due to the fact not everyone has been able to experience what I have, and it's meant to be kept secret unfortunately, however- once you go, you will understand. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this conference to every single teenager that has ever lived. It is the most convicting yet heartwarming experience EVER. I truly cannot imagine something being more powerful than the way I felt this weekend while God was telling me to let go of everything.
The day before I went, I learned that my mom's cancer spread to her spine and possibly bowels, and she began having seizures and her left leg basically didn't work, and she has about twelve to eighteen months to live. You do not understand HOW devastating this is, regardless of what you say, before you say it. I felt mad at God, hurt, upset... spiritually abandoned. But this weekend, I learned to let it go. I learned I cannot blame myself for everything and that everything that goes wrong isn't because of ME. I learned that God is testing me right now- but later this will be part of a great testimony. I'm praying for a miracle and I hope all who see this will join me in this, please, and thank you in advance.
All in all, this weekend I learned who I am, and what I'm capable of. In several letters I received I was told I should take up Evangelism, and I'm highly considering it.
Also; I prayed for a sign from God, that He was with me. Just to know that I wasn't alone. And after leaving Ryan's last night, I seen a shooting star.
Therefore, I believe the Big Man upstairs is taking over.
...and I am perfectly fine with that.
