Day 296



October 23, 2011

the one where I was completely overcome with emotion from all of the graces and blessings of the weekend! God was seriously pouring all of His love into our hearts this weekend—staffers and retreaters alike—and this entire experience has allowed me to grow in ways I would have never imagined. Never in a million years would I have dreamed that God would call me to co-lead a 3-day retreat for high school youth…but with everyone’s love and support, I was able to conquer my fears, realize my own powerlessness, and open up completely so that I could simply be a pencil in God’s hand.

And just a few more things…first of all, Dylan, I couldn’t have asked for a better retreat partner. You were incredible, and I could see the spirit working through you this weekend so much that it gave me chills! You. Rock.

And you’ve got swag. :) Just sayin’.

Staffers, you all blew me away with your awesomeness! Thank you all for being so flexible, servant-hearted, and joyful! You all had a wonderful impact on the youth, and I’m so blessed to have gotten to know all of you! I also want to thank all of the wonderful speakers and to our coordinator, Ryan! This weekend couldn’t have been better!
