This weekend
Energizer was so awesome, exactly what I needed, and I hope the same is true for the rest of the people who attended.
things I learned/relearned/ gained a deeper understanding of:
-trust God more, he's got it covered
-the Spirit moves in awesome ways (sometimes He fills you so much that you are overwhelmed with tears of joy streaming from the Sanctus until the end of Mass)
-God provides what is needed (like service projects and ideas when people don't sign up for coffeehouse)
-skits are more fun when you just let go and have fun
-doing exercise as wheat is a good thing; coinciding with the theme for the weekend, I had a lot more "breath" while playing frisbee this weekend than I did at the first Kmass of the summer
-to stop putting limits on what God wants to do in my life because I think I am too busy, not prepared... or just don't think to ask for grace
finally, not so much because of Energizer itself, but afterward (I had 3 hours until my bus came, so I prayed, prayed, and then talked to friends):
-like a rollercoaster, life will throw you through loops... you just have to have enough kinetic energy to get around it. God allows these loops to occur because the Spirit will provide you with that energy to get through it. I suppose a rollercoaster without loops or twists is boring.
-due to the fall, two people can have conflicting thoughts or mindsets, even if both have Christ at the center of their lives
-confusion and tears aren't necessarily bad, they reminds us that God is the one with the power
-how to praise God through hardship (its easier than it seems when you "spontaneously act out of love," as Karen put it)
-doing God's will brings peace
