Alright, I have my story to tell... not much, but hopefully it can show you how I got really in touch with God.
Alright, so in the few days before this trip, I was thinking, "Oh boy. 4 days of freezing cold weather with a lot of people I don't know that well. Sounds like fun!". I was so wrong.
It was Saturday night, I believe, that I truly felt his presence. I was listening to Jeff and his preaching, and it was the first time that preaching really got me thinking. I thought long and hard, and I realized, "I need him." I need God more that I've needed anything ever before. It took me 14 years, going to church for a year, and youth group for about 6 months, to realize this. I thought I needed my iPod, my computer, my friends, family, but in reality, I need Him, and Him only.
This retreat really showed me what is meaningful in my life. I just wish I can convince my friends to show the same love and affection to God, that I am now doing. Thank the Lord for everything I have, and I fully trust Him, with no strings attached.

There is something powerful yet humbling when we come to realize that we need him....and that he is willing to be there for us! Thank you for telling your story
