Ruidoso was beautiful. On Saturday while we were walking around the town a huge storm cloud was rolling in from over the mountain and it was a beautiful sight.
So with that said let me start with the beginning. Friday I left school a little early went to my house to pack the few items I had forgot to pack and then headed to the church to meet up with the bus. My Sunday school teachers were driving the bus and two of the guys who came last Sunday were riding the bus as well as two girls I have never met. It was a lot of fun as are most long trips in a vehicle fun of college students. We told stories and definitely had some good laughs. Once we made it to our cabins we met the other people who would be spending the week with us. Me and the girl I shared a room with stayed up until 12:30 just talking and getting to know each other. Then Saturday we had Bible study. We talked about what it meant to be a disciple or to disciple each other. It was a great discussion about what we as a church need to be doing to help train up the next generation and to help strengthen ourselves. Then we had the day to do whatever we wanted until we went to the Flying J Ranch. This is a dinner and a show place which was a lot of fun. We watched a gun fight and then ate on metal plates and drank from metal cups. Then after everyone finished they sang some other country music. Sunday we had our last Bible study and we talked about doing God's will and what stops us from hearing his voice. It really made me stop and think. What causes me to not hear His voice? and then the times that I hear his voice but don't obey, what causes me to do that? One answer that came to me was fear. Fear of letting go of control of my life and handing it completely over to God to do whatever he wants with it. That is scary for me. I like to be in control to know what is coming next and how it is going to happen, but with God I just have to trust Him and have faith that he will lead me and use me. What are somethings that stop you from hearing God's voice or from obeying Him? We then returned home, stopping in Roswell to eat lunch. I did see a few aliens and a McDonald's that was shaped like a space ship. It was a great weekend. Something that I really needed it. It was nice to get away and spend the weekend with fellow Christian and to begin building relationships with them. I want to thank you for your prayers. I know that God spoke to me this weekend. I know that I need to begin working on listening for His voice and being obedient. I need to work on prayer as well. That it would be a continuous thing throughout my day not just a ritual thing before I go to bed each night. So if you could continue to pray for me. That I might grow stronger in my prayer life and that I will be in tune to God's will.
Once again thank you for your prayers. I had a wonderful weekend.
