Hey everyone. Sorry i didnt update to recently. Anyways, this past week was a blast. We had a team of about 80 people. All the students were high school age and they were a lot of fun to work with. The group was really cool, everyone was friendly, but what made the week really good was that God was deffininitly moving.
The speaker for this week was really good as well. His heart was close to the Lord and he ran the night session how he felt like the Lord was moving him to. He would plan for a lecture, but sometimes worship was intense so he would just let worship continue. God was able to use the speaker to connect with issues that were going on with the kids lives.
I had a super rad expierence with God this past week. So before the week began I was sitting in Will's, the guy who is charge of the mission adventures program, office. he asked me what I got out of the outreach phase of my DTS. I told him one thing I took out and appreciated about the expierence was public speaking. I told him I enjoyed it and it streched me. So he responded by asking me if I would share my testimoney with the group. I responded, "Ill pray about it." I didnt really want to do it but I wanted to ask God if he wanted me to. Two days go by and Rheanne, another leader, asks me if I would share my testimoney with the group. I felt like God wanted me to so I said yes. So a few hours before the session started, that I would share my testimoney in, I sat down with my computer and try to write out my testimoney. I was attempting to write my testimoney for two and a half hours. By the time I was finished I didn't like what I had and I was really stressed out. So skip ahead until like 15 minutes before the session. All the staff just got done praying for the evening session. At this point I still didn't have an idea what I was going to say for my testimoney. I was trying to think of stories or things that had happened to me that I could share with the group but nothing was coming to mind. Now it is like 5 minutes before session starts. I was confused, but I was trusting God. I was talking to God and was like, "God, I don't know why I havnt been able to think of anything to share with the group. I feel like you wanted me to share a testimoney, but i dont really have anythign to say to them. I will go up the anyways and hopefully be a testimoney to them about trusting in you." As soon as I thought about that and told God that He gave me a Bible verse. 1 John 4:16-18. So I went up infront of the group and shared with them this verse and the story behind it. It was cool becuase i heard from a few people that that verse was exactly what they needed to hear. super rad.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in Godand God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Thanks everyone for following. I'll be home may 7. Happy easter. Much Love
