CIY "Move" Day 3: Heavy

Yesterday's post didn't really give you a good flavor for what we are doing...it was just to show you a very basic schedule. The heart of what we are doing is one word: relationships. You might call us crazy for staying until 1:30am every night, but we have already been building memories and relationships that will last. We sing and jump around together, we eat and play together, we even share and weep together. Thank you for your prayers! We have been diving into worship, teaching, and applying God's truths, and I have noticed a real hunger for some deeper, heavier discussions. We had a representative from the online community known as "Heart Support" (check them out at www.heartsupport.com), and he spoke about the reality of teen suicide, alcoholism, self injury, eating disorders, depression, and addictions. It was an incredible time for everyone to realize two things: 1. If that is you, you're not alone! 2. You don't have to live that way...you can get out. This session sparked some great discussions throughout the day, and I am excited to report that there are already some decisions being made! I will not disclose any names over this blog, but rejoice and pray with us as God's children are running back to Him! Sorry for the long blogs, but I want you to know how God is moving this week--He is awesome.
