I'm sitting here drinking my chocolate milk (thank you, awesome flatmates who I love dearly) and thinking back over this past weekend which has been super busy, but absolutely amazing. Our youth weekend away was fantastic.
On friday evening a load of us drove up the mountains (and down the other side) to beautiful Rascafría which is in a beautiful sunny valley, surrounded by snowy mountains. It was so awesome to see God working in the lives of the young people we took.
Although the majority of the students are from churched (or even missionary) backgrounds, many of them had never taken that step of commitment for God or they had at a young age but had never experienced first hand the power of the holy spirit in their lives. In the prayer ministry time we could see the holy spirit filling the room and changing the hearts of each and every student and leader there. It was beautiful and powerful and I felt so priveledged to be part of it.
Afterwards we went for a walk through the valley. It was so lovely and hot and sunny, I was still wearing my pyjamas. Hahah. All of us were still buzzing from the morning session and I had so many great conversations. One girl kept telling me "I was crying, but it was AWESOME" hahaa. And another girl was saying that she's been a christian since she was 9 and that she's always believed the holy spirit is in her but now she just really wants to do something about it! How amazing to be part of that. And while this was happening I just kept being reminded that God was blessing us SO much with the amazing location and weather.
1 Corinthians 2:9
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him."
All I have to say is "¡Gracias Señor!"
awesome!
