I Thought you might want a glimpse of my life with my youth. They make me laugh so much. We went on a retreat last weekend and it was so exhausting and fun. Any body else stayed up telling ghost stories with a bunch of teenagers in a field with no lights until 2:30 am lately? It's funny - you take them on a retreat, watch them goof off, watch them doodle on their paper and whisper to their friend during the talks, and you think they are not taking anything from it and then they surprise you with how much they understand and internalize. Here are a few pics and quotes from the trip.
"Your understanding of God - who He is, who you are - changes with your age, how long you have been a Christian and your life circumstances. I know God is everything, but I mean, He really is everything." - Senior Boy at Jackson Prep
"Christianity is power. God is powerful and He alone has the power to conquer sin and carry you through a crisis" - Combined thoughts from a Sophomore at MC and a Freshman home schooler.
