All done! So much to say, but too tired to type...and a 13 hour drive tomorrow. Please pray for safe travel and supernatural energy and alertness! We had a day full of intensity today as we discussed getting ready to come back home. The tagline from the sermon hit hard: "Everyone wants to shine bright, but nobody wants to burn." Basically, God wants to light us up with His fire in this dark world...but that requires some pain and sacrifice. We also opened the "kingdom worker cards" that have different challenges, and it was so awesome to see the students open them and accept the challenges to work on this year. Some examples of the cards are:
- Committing to send an encouraging note to a friend every single day on facebook for a year
- Committing to speak up and lead a devo at youth group this fall
- Committing to "adopt" a single mom or widow and invite them to holidays and family get-togethers
They are inspired, and make sure to ask them to tell all of their stories and things they learned this week! I can't wait to share more stories with you, but I'm gonna get some shut-eye. Take the time to look through the pictures above--it was a great trip, and God will be moving in the lives of these students for a long time!!
