Wow!
Wow, is the only word that seems to come to mind at the time. I have just had one of the most amazing weeks of my entire life. I went to Nashville, TN with my college ministry group here in Milledgeville to this Passion conference...it was amazing! Words can not express how I feel. We had so many great laughs as we were going on 3 to 4 hours a sleep every night, but it was well worth it and I would go again tomorrow. God has shown me so much this week about myself and about him. I can't even express what it feels life to look out over the Gatlord arena and see 18,000 other college students worshiping God, it is such a awesome feeling. All I could do, was just stand there is awe of his presence. This trip pushed me so far out of my comfort zone, but I loved it. We were divided in community groups of about 500 people. I was alone in my group, didn't know a single sole in the room with me. Then from there we were split into families of about 6-8 people. I was scared out of my mond to sit there with strangers and talk, I loved my group, each and every one of them is are amazing people of God. I grew so close to them in a 4 day period. It was nice to be able to talk to people about what you are feeling and going through and see that there are so many others that feel the same way you do, so you are never alone in the world. I have learned so much this week, there are so many things in my life that I need to just sort out right now. I went to Ben Stuarts breakout secession, who is a minister in Texas, and he talked about fighting for holiness. There are so many things that I just need to rid my life of, I need to get away from the little distractions in life that take my time away from him. I also had the opportunity to hear Beth Moore speak in another secession, she talked about falling into pits in life. I tend to slip into pits alot in life and then I stand there and am like how the heck did this happen. I had the opportunity to hear Louie Giglio abd John Piper speak as well.

This has just stuck with me this week. I stood under a massive waterfall this week and God poured down on me and filled me up with so much. I took away a lot from this conference that right now I am just trying to put into words and thoughts, which is so hard to do right now.

On the last night Louie did a representation to show us the biggness and greatness of God. He talked about the universe and kept going futher and futher out. The size of earth is so small in the universe and yet God choose us. As he kept showing picutes of different things futher out in the universe, thenhe showed a picture of christ of the cross. After this night I felt about the size of a tiny grain of rice, if even that big. God is so enormous and deserves everything and yet we don't give it to him. I wish I had the pictures from this night to show, because it was awesome.
Anyways I wish I had the energy and the time to tell about everything, because it was amazing, but I am just exhausted. It is nice to be back in my apartment and bed...I misseed it dearly!
