Spring Youth Retreat 2005

last weekend was our spring youth retreat, and i got home and realized i didn't take a single picture while i was there. pretty lame, huh? but at least a lot of other people did!

some things that stood out to me this year:
1) i was a jr high small group leader and was reminded why i enjoy working with both jr high and high school students...they're both special in their own ways
2) i didn't sleep in the same room as all of the students...i think i got the best sleep ever at a retreat this year
3) i was also thoroughly impressed with the retreat accommodations...no, it wasn't like the berachah "hotel", but i enjoyed the setup of the cabins, appreciated the "little" things they did to make the cabins "nice" and i even enjoyed the food! (ok, yes, i've gone to many, many retreats and have become quite a retreat critic)
4) God really challenged me with the group of girls i had...they were asking a lot of science type of questions...i'm not a science type of person, and i was once again amazed how God can appeal to and draw so many different types of people
5) God was seriously amazing Saturday morning when we stepped outside our cabin and saw that the weather was absolutely gorgeous even after it was predicted to rain all weekend

Yay God!
