I Surrender All!

About a month and a half ago, my parents saw that are church had open sign ups to go on a summer youth retreat with our church. For a awhile, I was arguing about going. I didn't want to go for various reasons. After a few days of praying and getting counsel from others about going, I decided to go. I still was really not wanting to go, but I felt that God was calling me to go. I know that when God wants us to do things, sometimes he takes us out of our comfort zones. So I decided to go and trust the Lord. 

I went up very nervous and anxious, but continued to trust the Lord. 

I am extremely glad that I went. The Lord really blessed me up there. I learned so much and I don't regret one bit of it. God drew me closer to Himself, He taught me to trust in Him through tough times, He blessed me with close friends on my team and great team leaders, He taught me many wonderful things there, and so much more. 

One praise report is:

When I went up there, I was convicted that I have been holding a ton back in my life and that I was being more of a fan of Jesus than a Follower of Jesus. It was extremely convicting. So the last night of the retreat I decided to commit myself to the Lord fully. 

It has really changed my life. Since I have been down the mountain, I have been challenged.... But it has been really good for me. I have been learning a ton and growing extremely close to the Lord. 

Thank You so much Lord for everything... Thank You for Your unconditional love.
