Oh my goodness, this week has been
so amazing, and tonight’s service was just the best way to finish it off. We took a field trip to Montreat
Conference Center for the evening, and after eating ice cream and walking
around the college campus for a little bit, we walked into what was the most
moving church service I can remember being at. There were lots of kids and adults in the sanctuary with us
who had been at the conference the entire week. Before worship started, actually, I ran into a girl there
who I worked with at the VRQ yesterday, so that was cool getting to talk to her
again. Worship itself was such a
touching experience; we sang songs, did “spirit fingers” to applaud, and
listened to a pastor speak about why good things happen to good people while
incorporating Jonah and “Finding Nemo.” Different parts of the sermon
overlapped a lot with what we’ve been talking about at AYM this week and
different questions that had been on many of our minds, and it really hit many
of us hard. After the sermon,
everyone was invited to take part in several different stations where we were
able to experience prayer in new ways, and I don’t even know if there are words
that could describe what we went through.
God spoke to many of us tonight, myself included, and I feel so blessed
to have been a part of this trip.
This whole week has been such an amazing journey and I’m sad it’s coming
to a close, but it’s not over yet… (: But even when this awesome trip does come to a close, I know we’ll all
be ready to continue to work hard and spread God’s love back in Michigan too.
