Estacada First Baptist Highschool Winter Retreat

Good Times I say!
Ok. Recap on my Favorite moments.

1) Yelling at Allissa to stop hitting ping pong balls at the boys.
2) Emily and Mrs. Commisioner.
3) The Beautiful views.
4) The really cold snow, and the fact that I had snow shoes.
5) Fellowship with other strong beleivers. I haven't done that in forever and I had been feeling Gravity sink in.
6) God! (should've been #)
7) Cleaning the Kitchen with all the girls.
8) Watching Jake get his exploder stuck in the snow.
9) Getting to know some really cool kids, that were just aquaintances, but now really good friends.
10) Last but not least, the spiritual growth of everyone there including me!

It was awesome. and Apparently my spiritual gift is Shepharding. Ahahah! and a bunch of other stuff. I'm excited to see if this is true. :)

anyways. God is amazing and He is helping me crawl out of the deep pit of "almost Luke-warmness..." if it weren't for my constant awareness and the feeling of urgency to get out. if that makes any sense. i Know the main reason for me having a hard time focusing on God is the lack of contact with Fellow Belivers. But slowly that will change. anyways. the retreat did it's duty. It helped me refocus on God and my friends. and it gave me a nice break from work. ahhhh, it was nice.

I hope you don't mind the change of subject; but if you ever enjoy Christian fiction of the sort written by Frank Peretti, which I do also, then you might enjoy "Outcasts Of Skagaray". For a free preview, please check www.threeswans.com.au and see the sample chapters there. I would love it if you read and enjoyed it, but irrespective I greet you in the Lord Jesus. You write some interesting posts. Please see my comment on the second one down about Yoga.My blog is http://threeswans.blogspot.com if you wish to visit and comment. Blessings.
