This past weekend I journeyed with 30 youth to Boone for our annual winter retreat at Covenant! While we were there we had a guest speaker! He open my eyes to ways of being more present in the moment than ever! He said to stop asking the question of others or your self "What do You want to be when you grow up?". Why not ask the beautiful question of "Who are you/who am I now?" because although we like to build on our strengths and make improvements on our working points - we are living now! God isn't creating us for something just for ten years from now but who we are today!! Who we are in the present moment! It was a true honor to listen to today's youth talk about how they are living for success of getting into the best college - it was disheartening to see the anxiety on their face and the need to scream in their voice. so we screamed! We cryed out to our God! We reflected on the beauty of rain, and perhaps how when it rains in our lives that that is when God is holding us the closest! It was a great weekend! A holy weekend! While I was watching youth play in the snow like it was the first time...Kately love got to experience snow for the very very first time!!!! Robert and Mom enjoyed watching her!!
