my first amazing weekend!!!

I just sat and read some of my old blogs, WOW some of those aren't my feelings anymore!  I was so hurt and so distracted that I couldn't see what it was that God had planned for me!  When I said I was waiting for the man I thought I was supposed to marry... I went... WOW I'm only 18!!!!  Crazy I know!
Anyways, this weekend went really well!  I love being here!  I met so many new people and I love the experiences I have with meeting new people!  I went to this youth service at night, at the same place I went to church in the morning and it was so good!  Then I just hung out with friends and met some really cool people!  It was all around a good day!  In the afternoon we went up to the drop-in at Crosspoint... it went really well, Richie spoke and it really spoke to me also about why I'm really here!  It was always in the back of my head but it started to surface when he spoke!  He was talking to the kids and saying, I just want this to stick, because when there comes a point in your lives when you realize you need more than alcohol and 'fun' in your life, hopefully you will remember some of the things that have gone on here at Crosspoint!  It was just really amazing and I love it!
Fully relying on God is all we can do, we can teach and teach and teach but God is the one to put the call on their heart!  So for now, trust in Him to lead you to where He wants you to go!  It's your life, make the most of every moment!
Talk to you soon!
