OCEAN SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI
Basically, God has shown so many new things to me this past weekend. I think I have become more patient with people just by not being around my nornal group of friends. I love hanging out with People in general. Most of the time this weekend, I wasn't with anyone my own age, or close to it. God showed me SO many things about him this weekend. His timing is so perfect. God loves through different people by different ways. Some using words, some just the smiles on their faces, some by just making people laugh! God is so good the way He uses us and we don't have a clue. All the people there were so thankful for every little thing and we learned that it doesn't matter about apperance, what we have(or don't have in their case), what the people around us are doing or whatever. We are put here to put ourselves last, in everthing. I relied on God this weekend 100% the entire time. It's been a long time since I have left everything to Him. It was the most freeing thing. I was so happy, and content with everything that was going on around me. My heart is changed. I feel I'm not the same. Most everyone down there are left with nothing. To me, they had everything I wanted. Their hearts were so in Love with God and with us. They were gentle and loving with every circumstance and person. God is so good the way he works. This trip brought unity within our CHURCH which i've been longing to feel a since of. I've found it. God isn't only in the YOUTH group. Even though, sometimes we may think the CHURCH has no clue what they are talking about, they do. They are only thinking the best of us. I'm really excited to go back in the summer with you guys.
