retreat


Wow. I haven't even posted about retreat yet. I guess I can fix that. :)

I had such an amazing weekend with friends and God. I can't even begin to put into words what God is doing in my life. I was in awe of how all the services seemed to connect and how applicable they were.
The bus ride down to the campgrounds was definitely a crazy one. I don't think the bus driver could have drove any faster through the hills without flying. No idea how fast she was going, just thankful I didn't loose my stomach.
After dinner and service they stuck us all in the chapel for late night games. Now, I could be wrong but I don't think that chapel is made for 200 students plus leaders to play games in. Thats not to say we didn't all fit, it was just a little more cramped than usual.
We also had day light savings time while at camp so that seemed to complicate things just a little bit. We were all in bed at 11:30 on Saturday, but really is was 10:30. So all the girls were laying in the bunks giggling because they were still hyper.
Somehow on the bus ride home we gained an extra person riding back and there weren't quite enough seats. So Hannah and I, both of us being little, volunteered to both ride in the last seat of the bus that is just a little shorter than all the rest. If two "normal" size people had tried that it probably wouldn't have worked. Lucky for us, we fit perfectly.
Through this journey I have been on lately through Fine Arts and all I have made a new friend. I was so glad Hannah was able to come to retreat :) We were buddies all weekend and I am super glad I got to hang out with her.
Pink team didn't come anywhere close to winning but it was fun to get away from all the distractions and seek God along with the fellowship of friends.
Some memories were definitely made even though it was a cold and wet weekend. Just goes to show that God can show up anytime and anywhere.
I am sure there is more that I am forgetting, in fact I know there is. Sometimes its just hard to put into words how great God is and all that He is doing.
