Update soon
ok…i got all sorts of distracted by so many amazing things that i didn’t update the last couple days…
my bad:)
but right now i thought of updating, but it’s pre 6am and we’re about to board our flight to go back to good old non-thunderstorm mega humidity New Jersey….ahhh…that just sounds good….
i’ll try to update later today or early tomorrow…depends on my (and my daughters) nap schedule:)
I have been following the events daily-viewing pictures- listening to podcasts- and trying to get there on time for the live stream.It has been very interesting.
WOW! What more could possibly be said?!?!?
GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!!!!
What an event. I know that I (along with all the other 30 people with me at LIFE2007) are sleep deprived and tired.. but I’m on fire! I just want to go talk to every person in my church and tell them all about LIFE2007 - about how great our GOD IS! about how GOD WAS THERE! GOD LOVES US! I just want to keep praising.
On the airplane, we had XMSatellite Radio. I had it on the Christian station and it was all I could do to sit still and not stand and worship in the isles. I just want to shout to the Lord and praise Him! I just want to tell people that if they stand too long next to me, they may just get burned because He’s burning inside me now. As a sponsor, I know this was “for the kids”, but every single person there was touched in some way. I have grown a lifetime all in the space of a week.
THANK YOU to all those people who planned, prepared, dealt with the challenges that came up and happened that was out of anyone’s control, for those at home who held dinner so “mom” or “dad” could get that last detail taken care of so all 7,500+ of us would have this opportunity, for all those who have touched the lives of the speakers, planners, sponsors, kids, and for all those acorns planted so very long ago that resulted in that 7,500+ tree forest at LIFE2007 this weekend. Who would have ever dreamed? THANK YOU!!!!
Your LIFE2007 Mission was successfully and incredible accomplished!
Your acorns are planted and the sprouts are growing!
You will never know the full impact of your hard work, sweat, tears, prayers, time, energy, money, sacrifices on the kingdom of God!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! You are surely storing up jewels for your crown in heaven!
I thank GOD for all of you… May our (7,500+) mission now begin/continue!!!
LIFE 2007 was so amazing. It was the first LIFE conference I have ever been to. I feel like God had transformed me in so many ways. My parents told me that they already notice a change in me and they are so happy for all the things that God has done in me and anyone else in my church. I am only 14 years old and will be able to go to the LIFE 2010 conference in Kentucky and am already saving up my money to go. My little brother can also go to the next one too and he is almost 10 years old, his birthday is July 11.
My youth group and I arrived back in our home state yesterday, July 9, 2007. Our church is Watsontown Alliance Church in Watsontown, Pennsylvania, just south of Williamsport. Our flight from Orlando to Philadelphia left at 8 a.m. and reached Phillie at 10:30 a.m. We are all sleep deprived from not going to sleep every night until mid-night or later and getting up at 7 a.m. I did not sleep at the airport waiting for the plane, on the plane, or in the car on our way back to the church for 3 hours. I got home and did not sleep there and at 6 p.m. I had to go to our church and help out pre-schoolers at our churches Vacation Bible School.
Thank you to all the people who made LIFE 2007 possible and to God for transforming all the lives in everyone at LIFE. Thank you God for making it possible for us to be here today. I might not have been here today if it was not for you. You saved me when I was in a car accident on my way back from a Retreat in Carslile, Pennsylvania. It was May 1, 2005, the same day, except 3 years later, that I accepted Jesus Christ into my life for the first time. I think that made a difference that no one got hurt in the accident and just the fact that God was there watching out for us.
Ever since the car accident and LIFE 2007, God has tranformed my in many ways that I can’t even begin to explain.
THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS COME TO KNOW YOU.
Thank you so much for anyone who was responsible for making LIFE 2007 a reality for 7,500 students. This was my first LIFE experience and I was blown away. I have been a Christian my whole life and I have gone to youth events before where I have been set on fire for Jesus but then lose that enthusiasm soon after I arrive home. I’m so excited because I know in my heart that this new found relationship with God that I have will never die. There are so many things that I learned last week that in a way I already knew but never really believed I guess. One thing that really amazed me was God’s awsome love for me even though I am so small, insignificant, and unworthy. A way that I know this experience was different is that I came away truly humbled which has never happened to me before. I finally get it that it’s not about me and it’s all about God. I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do in my life now that I have my complete faith and trust in Him. Thank you, thank you, thank you, again for making this conference where so many people can find God in a way that can change the world. The blessings I have recieved through this event will stay with me for the rest of my life!
