Young Adult Retreat

Well, God answers prayers because our whole youth chorus was moved by the spirit this weekend. It was very different for us because we have never lead worship. I think it went well. Friday night Mrs.Hickman spoke about the theme Relevant. I say between the lovely Mrs.Bate and the amazingly spiritual Major Munn. Wow! Saturday morning we lead 30 minutes of praise and worship, although it was early it went really well. Then we went to three different sessions. First I went to Major Munns session on holiness. I heard Major Munn speak about it at the Youth Holiness Advance before but it was refreshing to hear it again. Then I went to Mrs.Hickmans session on being a christian woman in this world. She really nailed it! It was awesome. Then I went to Paul Dymott's session on balancing everything in your life. Work/school, Family/friends, and ofcoarse your time with God. He did this really cool exercise with nails. He had a nail in a block of wood and asked us to balance 14 other nails on top of it. After 10 minutes I started to think it was impossible. Well it wasn't, Paul showed us a certain way that it would work. Obviously the moral was that God was the nail in the block and with Him as your source, you can balance everything. Andthen I had my interview for Star Lake. Mrs. Stoops said that I am already hired, so that was comforting. Then Captain Hickman blessed us all with his wonderful message. God really spoke to us all through his message, it even brought many of us to tears. I was crying through the whole thing. It was very moving and I was extremely blessed. God is Good!

As for today, church was cancelled. The snow and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the way it looks and how it lets us have off school, but I hate when I have to shovel it all. Oh well.
