More Leaves Please.

I unfortunately just returned from my last teen conference yesterday. How do I feel? I'm not exactly sure how to put it in words..so here it goes.

My knowledge of Christianity has certainly grown deeper not by learning new concepts, but because of the way Bill Kallenberg worded everything and preached it to us. I loved the stories he used as examples. He was such a chill person and he was a good choice. Not only is he like super famous (he's had dinner with both of the Bush's at the White House, but he also knows members of the Dave Matthews Band, Andy Roddick, and other famous people). Anyways, one of the concepts that stuck to me most and I will remember forever is: Seek --> Find --> Know --> Love. We must seek God, when we seek God we will find God. Once we find God, we will know God. After knowing God, we will love God. I'm not exactly sure why, but I love this concept so much :)

Like I said earlier, this year was indeed my last conference. I can honestly say, I have grown so much through Teen Conference and I am so thankful that I was given the opportunity to go on this retreat every year for the past 4-5 years. I have developed so many amazing relationships with so many amazing people (it's kind of ridiculous?) haha but yes I'm sure you all know who you are. Thank you so much for helping me through life, I love you all!

Here's just one picture. Basically sums up the awesomeness of the class of 2009. You can find the rest on facebook since I currently don't have any time to post any on here.
