Elevator Speech

I recently came back from a week-long retreat with InterVarsity up in Michigan. I had prepared an elevator speech for those who asked, but didn't have the time to really care how it went. I was ready to share my two-minute spiel. But I never took the time to think about those who might have the time to care... who might ask a couple of follow-up questions and who might want to know a little bit more than my rehearsed two-liner.

And so, I've struggled to put into words how CFW (Chapter Focus Week) was when I'm allowed to talk for a bit.

Surely they don't want me to go through my schedule, day by day, session by session. Should I trace what happened? Who I talked to? What stories would I tell? Just how vulnerable could I stand to get?

I figured I'd just get back and blog about it, but I've run into the same problem online. What do I write about? Who should I talk about?

Sooo... time will go on and people will no longer care about CFW, but I know that I'll have to keep processing the lessons I learned while I was there. With that said, I'll probably hop back on here throughout the summer with small posts about CFW-- a memorable story, a quote, a session I enjoyed.

But with that said, I'll leave you with my elevator speech:

"It was good! I definitely enjoyed it... I love retreats-- made me miss home. I was reminded of the importance and power of prayer and my vision and passion for college ministry was strengthened and refreshed."

Toodles! Until next time :)
