alright, i've been back for a bit, but i'm just a great slacker when it comes to blogging. i'm here now~
i attended my fourth winter retreat this past weekend with 5 of y friends from my youth group, and we.had.a.blast. i mean, even apart from the rain and mud and altogether lack of sunshine (let's just say we were REALLY happy the times the sun DID come out!). we played a lot of fun games and heard so much great preaching from Dan Brubaker.
highlights.
i met a couple really great people.
i got to re-connect with a lot of people i hadn't seen in months.
it wasn't completely freezing this year (although we did get some beautiful flurries about 10 minutes before we left to go home...it was pretty perfect.).
i only fell down the basement steps once (trust me-big deal).
i learned a lot.
i dedicated a *giant* part of my life, something that has been burdening my heart for years, completely up to God.
that's the biggest thing. i mean, there are a lot of things i could have given up, but this is a really big deal to me. before, i was relying on myself to resolve the situation, trying my hardest in my own strength. but now i've realized that God is really the only one who can do anything about it, and if i leave it up to Him to work in His time, His will will be accomplished.
i am ever learning to rely on God to help me through each and every day and that i will learn more and more and more about Him.
