retreato6

wow.

words can never describe the amazing weekend I just had. I needed that retreat and I thank everyone that made it possible. It was simply amazing the peace I felt just being there. I mean sure the weather wasn't all that great and I lost my voice and I was dead tired on the bus, but it was oh so worth it. Tim Tang firstly, was simply amazing. His messages honestly made me think so much that i regret not taking sermon notes :( haha but it's okay because it's all stuck in the head. He was talking about dying to expectations, dying to what we want and letting God do miracles in our lives. It was so true. It was so real in my life that it just kind of wacked me in the head. Dying to expectations. Dying to what we want. I felt God calling me that weekend to die to my expectations of everything...friends...marks...retreat...even fellowship. I had expectations coming into retreat and I think after I let those go...everything was just okay. I mean I was so afraid of like..worship and everything..loosing my voice. Yet God showed me so much more. I felt God working and it was the most amazing thing. I guess I haven't opened up my eyes for a while and during this retreat...man was I able to see...with my heart. I loved Tim Tang's messages :)

Workshop was amazing too! When we did the activity thinking about the word/phrase from the bible, it really clicked that God was asking me to serve and I realize my response has been "Here I am" I loved it.

I think my favourite part of retreat was candlelight sharing. haha every retreat it's the most emotional part of it...and I think every year somebody cries...This year I cried too haha. I loved how people shared and they were like I don't know what to talk about then they go like...crazy talking for like...10 minutes. And I loved how like...the younger gr 9 & 10s talked too! :) Truly inspiring listening to how people were changed because of Him and because of our relationship with each other :) I loved how people were so honest...so real...so true. Kathy's sharing...I loved it and God gave me so much more hope. Man i started crying because I was so amazed by what God has been doing. I haven't seen people come to Christ for a REALLY long time and her sharing just gave me reassurance that He's still working. I was so amazed. The only thing that was going through my head during that time was PRAISE THE LORD. Unbelievable. I was also amazed by Jon Wong's sharing...just listening to him have so much faith in the future of Koinonia, listening to what he sees. jus...amazing
