this weekend was the most amazing time of my life. better than anything- it was Battle Cry (ATF). if you asked me to describe it...i couldn't. because it was indescribable. imagine 40,000 teens all gathered at ford feild in detroit to worship OUR GOD. i'm getting chills just TALKING about it. it actually brings tears to my eyes. this was a weekend of my life i will never forget. the speakers, the bands, the people i met. it was PERFECT. satan couldn't have ruined taht if he TRIED. God's presence and God's power this weekend was living proof of His existence. try to picture these 40,000 teens all holding hands jumping up and down singing. at the same time. it was SWEET. (the speakers were ron luce, lakita garth *my hero!*, and jack hayford/ the bands were delirious, jeremy camp, tobyMac, pillar, cross movement, and michael gungor.) it was amazing. you have no idea. the music was just THE BEST and the speakers were so moving and inspiring.
my prayers had truly been answered this weekend. i prayed that scott would be moved by something at battle cry. i honestly think he was. when i saw him coming down, onto the field for the alter call, i was SO happy. i cried out to Jesus right there not only for me, but in thanks for him. when we went back up to our seats, and scott was there crying, i went up and gave him a hug and prayed with him. i praise God for helping him. i have never seen him so excited about God. he didnt hold back with how he felt at all this weekend, which is just what i hoped for! he was changed. and seeing that, changed me. my faith boosted up about 100% there. not to mention, that we have talked so much this weekend. we are good friends again. he talked to me tonight, all weekend, it was no big deal. it was just awesome. it is amazing what God can do.
tonight at yg, the girls went through with our plan to dress like the guys. omg when scott saw me you shoulda seen his face. i'll post pics from battle cry and yg soon. but dude tonight was SOOOO awesome! it was way fun- i'm getting too good at this whole guy thing lol but no...it was sweet haha. and scott and i had a lot of fun tonight. we had some...interesting discussions after church tonight thru texts lol and then he followed me home, pretty much just racing sherri all the way home haha it was so funny...
but the jist of this entry is to honestly try to show you how amazing our God really is. i'm devoting my life to him. i want to get rid of the life i had before. anything that God wouldnt want me to do, i'm getting it OUT. i want to change. i am going to change. God is MY KING and i need to serve him like He wants me to.
this is MY generation. i need to change it- i need to make my battle plan and let people hear MY battle cry!
God Bless!
