Wow! What a way to refresh your heart spiritually! I think we all had a amazing time getting to meet some people as well as being able to catch up with some old friends! :)
The whole thing didn't work as it had years before, in way of the layout of workshops and sessions. Normally you would choose your workshops and go! But this year we were all focusing on one subject. Purity. Yes, a subject that we should probably talk about more than we do. Because I can tell you, in my own life that is, that it's probably not something we think about everyday. But it really should be! We are daily faced with issues in morality whether in worldly dress, television, and even pressuring friends. We can all be led down that road that ends in misery and breaking of hearts. Purity is a great gift that we have all received that we can give to someone someday. But really, what it comes down to is that none of us are completely pure in every aspect or degree. We will be tempted and tried, and maybe people will pressure us to do or think about things that can hurt us morally. It really is sad what this world has come down to. But we can be free...
...because despite all our mistakes, the most amazing part of it all is that, if we let him, God makes us truly pure. In mind, body, and soul! Whether we've made those mistakes or not, God is always ready and willing to forgive! His amazing grace can save from the greatest of sins. He also wants us to become more like Him after this forgiveness. Even though maybe it seems as all others around you pressure you, we have been given all the strength we need to overcome!! We've been given all we need by our Father to be mighty in this world. We simply need to let Jesus work through our trials, our failures, to make us shining lights in a dark world...
