Home Safe and Sound

Yay! We've returned home from Avalanche safe and sound and full of God's grace. God was truly at work this weekend in the lives of the kids as well as the leaders. I'm surprised at how much I got out of it spiritually, especially when it was designed for kids. I learned how to better myself as a leader, I learned I need to trust God more and I learned that I can be a very caring individual when I ask the Holy Spirit to lead me. I feel like I can do anything now, with God's help.
Saturday night was the most amazing part. I need to tell you. One of my girls accepted Christ for the first time, another recommited, one said they "sort of" gave their life over to God, one still wasn't sure and the other one I haven't even had a chance to talk to yet, but he was kneeling down saying the same prayer. Our speaker said if you wanted to make God the boss of your life, kneel down in front of you, bow your head and don't care what others think because a) their eyes are closed and b) It's God, and you don't have to be "cool" around God. It was incredible. But I was scared, because our speaker said to the kids who knelt to talk to your leader and ask what they should do. I was terrified. It would probably be one of the most important questions I would ever answer. Kari and I prayed together before we went to small group. And it went amazingly. Kari and I worked well together. When I was stuck, and didn't know what to say, she'd say something amazing, and vice versa. It's amazing how God is working.
Now we need to pray for these newly born Christians to work really hard to stay on track and not come down too hard off the God-high, but instead to keep worshipping God, even in a dark world.
Thank you for your prayers
