my spiritual high
ok so i admit....i didnt want to go to chrysalis....but im sooo glad i did. =)
i made sum life long friends, especialy my table of "ONE VOICE" ; Becky, Beth, Audrey, and our table leader Sue Steen. it was such a great experience, I feel soo much closer to God. i came into chrysalis thinking i was the only problem child... i felt like i was gonna be surrounded by perfect churchies...yet everyone was in my position. it felt great to have people relate and understand what i was goin through, i related to them on sooo many levels.
i swore i wasnt gonna cry until the 2nd day (the last night) sue davis *my 2nd mom* came up and put her arm around me and said i kno sumthing is bothering you....i resisted, then i asked her to pray for me to have spiritual guidance, and knowledge of the questions that i needed answers to. yeah....i losted it, i cried when she was praying for me, its like she knew what i needed answered w/o me even telling her. i am here to tell you that there deffinately is a God. I just let out my doubts, worries, fears, and guilt that night, i mostly had relationship questions...
DONT ANTICIPATE......PARTICIPATE! *ya thats the moto*
sooo saturday was the best day i think, we were told to look our best and dress up...knowing me i went in jeans and a white sweater, with barely any make up and my hair was less then perfect. we got down to the dinner hall and there was guys in tuxedos with carnations ready to escort us to the tables which were in complete darkness lit by only candles....ahhh yesss lets jus say i looked like crud LOL. ohh well.
after dinner we went down this hallway and it was completely dark, needless to say there was my parents, youth mentors, pastors, friends, and i was suprised to see john there lol but any way they were lighting the hallways with candles.
wooow this weekend had such a great impact on me i cant even begin to phathom how much i learned and how thankful i am that i went.
i thank sue davis, my table mates, sue steen, and the pastors, but especially God =)
GOD BLESS and MUCH LUV
