I know I'm a little late on talking about Student Life and what it's done for me but, I never exactly got to tell anyone unless they asked me. So many things happened on that trip this past summer, I really think it should still be getting talked about. more and more.
When I went on that trip I went on it looking for God to move me like everyone else had told me about so many times before; and he did. I didn't think anything could ever happen to me like it did on that trip, but this is God, anything is possible in my life now. On that trip, I got so much closer with everyone in our youth group; some people I have to say, I was very surprised with but, it all helped me become so much stronger.
On the second to last night of the trip me and my sister got into an argument. It wasn't going well, she'd met me when I was coming back from the bathroom when the first song of celebration started. We each apologized to each other and started talking. She asked me if I'd been saved and I told her that I had but a long time ago so I didn't think it meant anything. So, standing there in the middle of the worship center, I prayed with her and welcomed God back into my life. After that prayer we went and stood with the rest of the youth group and started singing. The tears just kept coming. I was so HAPPY. It was a constant butterfly in my stomach. Chills the whole time. And it never stopped. I was a different person and it was the most amazing, indescribable feeling ever.
That trip changed my life forever. I now love God with all that I have and my life couldn't be any better.
