TC2010

Last week was awwwesome! Actually I want to back track a little and say that its not just the past week that has been amazing, but all the prep that has gone into teens conference has been a blessing. Being part of REC 2010 has been a blessing and an experience. Some say conferences are only a spiritual high, but there is always something to take away from everything.

Who would have known being sick can lead me to know and feel how powerful prayer can be. Having the biggest headache ever did not stop me from continuing to lead games, cheer, dance or being there for someone who needed comfort through talking. I didnt think i could stand up by the end of the night. But God gave me the strength i needed. The prayers of healing and love from my brothers and sisters in Christ lifted me up. For every hand that was laid down on me Ifelt the love and peace from within. From feeling weak to standing strong, in His name i was healed.

I indeed had an amazing time serving with my brothers and sisters at TC. its been an experience that i want to carry out as a life style and not just when im surrounded by christians. Serving at TC this year has strengthen my relationship with Him and i can see how He connects everything in life together. Looking back to oct. a devotion really stuck out to me and it was on the practice of humility and being humble... and that was also our devotional topic for one of our studies at a REC meeting. I didnt think much of it. The third night of tc when our team leaders shared with us the act of putting down our pride and serving with a humble heart. I was reminded that there are no coincidences in life. The next day which was the final day of TC, I was leading games with two really strong leaders. It brought frustration to me and i wasnt having a good time. All of a sudden what was shared the night before hit me. I put down my pride and let the other leaders have their way instead of making a big fuse and making everyone unhappy. I actually felt great after stepping down and taking a smaller role. Dont always need to be the boss to enjoy yourself.

A few weeks ago someone that i didnt really know well came up to me and said i had a big ego. I was really offended and taken by shock. But now i see where they were coming from. I feel that it was my pride that shows as an ego, but now I understand. Its so hard to change because we are all born with a certain personality and it really affects the way we are and act. But nothing is impossible through/with Him.

Its been such a blessing to be able to serve and fellowship with each and every single REC member. I miss and love everyone on REC <3>

This is not the end, yet a new part of the adventure just started. Lets continue to praise the Lord and shine like stars for Him.
