Youth Retreat!

This weekend was amazing!!! I went to a youth retreat and Rev. Dave Overholt was are speaker. It was excellent!! He spoke on making your mark on the word- and ways we can do that - ie- through food banks, helping people ect... then the next night he talked about sacrificing your life to Jesus Christ- and dedicating your life to service for him. He gave us the oppritunity to make that statment pubically- I went up and you could feel God's presence. I was powerful. I also had the chance to go to two break sesions. I went to one with about how we as christians live in a messed up world full of influences that can sometimes cause us to mess up - but I learned that they can also make you stronger. Then the seccond break sesion was with Dave Overholt. He talked about how to answer your friends questions about God. It was a awsome learning experence and I learned alot. It was exciting!
The worship was also amazing. There was not that many people there, but the sound we were making was unreal! Are voices were so loud as we were singing out to God. There was dancing, there were people with there arms raised in the air and there were people kneeling. I love the freedom that was there. It was the way worship is susposed to be - all for God. Apart from all the amazing sermons and worship services i was at, I also learned alot about spritual gifts- and which ones I have been blessed with and ways I can use them for the glory of God.
All in all this weekend fit exactally what I was longing for and I thank God for the blessings he has given me this weekend!
