Peace
This past weekend, the entire Life Teen staff went to Camp Covecrest in Tiger, Georgia for our staff retreat. I will admit that when the retreat began on Friday night, I felt like I wasn’t completely open to what the weekend may have in store for me. It was only a week after coming off [...]

My attention span is 5 seco. . . oooo a little butterfly!
Whew, I know I have said this before but I’ll say it again: wow, we need prayer. Not prayers from other people (although we need that too), but we need prayer for ourselves. This seems like such an over-used statement. I would normally think “DUH, we need prayer! Why do we need to keep saying [...]

Snow
While we were up at Tepeyac, it snowed A LOT. I’m from Georgia; I don’t do snow. Nick had been praying for snow, so my first thought when I saw it start snowing was that it was entirely his fault. I didn’t want to have to trudge around in the snow by myself for a [...]

God is always relatable
I am studying/ reading through Deuteronomy. I have been wanting to get into the Old Testament and I felt called to start here. It’s amazing to me how thousands of years later I can still relate this book to my life and the world we are living in today. Moses’ people were called out of [...]

Emerging from the Silence; God is HERE!
We recently got home from our 8-Day Silent Retreat. I want to thank each of you who prayed for us. It was a very intense and life changing experience.
As one of our retreat directors, Br. John, would say God is HERE, God wants YOU, and God has MORE. God’s Word is soooo alive! God is soooo alive! [...]

Praying with Strangers
We went into town the other day to “evangelize” and pray with people, as part of our formation. The point of it was not just to love on people, and not just to talk with them, but to actually ask them if there was anything in their lives that we could pray for, and then [...]

P & W
Boy, am I tired or what . . . I just finished a Men’s retreat for one of the local churches down here in Georgia. I am just plain old weary. We have been moving since they got here at 8:00 Friday night. I am finally sitting down to rest.
We pushed these guys. We pushed [...]
