Freahmen Retreat 2009!

This past weekend I went to the freshmen retreat that took place at Red Rock Bible Camp. It was beautiful there! We played some crazy 'annual freshmen' games. Some people had to race to see who could hold the most toilet paper in their mouth, others had to break the egg saran wrapped to someones head with a fish, and we all had to do fear factor and eat a lot of disgusting stuff. (I could still taste that raw onion the next day.) I had to wear a diaper filled with a disgusting concoction while my partner ate from the diaper filled with the same concoction. Overall it was a lot of fun and we had some good speakers from the school. The retreat was supposed to help you refocus on knowing God, knowing others, and knowing yourself. What I took away from the experience was that God always wants to be drawing near to us, and we can be afraid of that without knowing. That's something that I want to work on so I can experience God in new and closer ways. I wasn't all that excited to go on the retreat, but I'm really glad I did!
