Passion 2010

So last Friday, at 8 AM, some of the high school and college students of Antioch embarked on journey to Atlanta for a conference called Passion. WE joined 21,000 students in 4 fun filled, convicting, eye opening, and life changing days.
Passion was packed with some amazing musicians- Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Charlie Hall, Christie Nichols, HillSong United, David Crowder, and a band called Fee! People may not know this about me but I love music. :) I love worshipping God by singing praises to Him!! I was l moved to tears almost every time we sang at this conference. There is something so breathtaking about 21,000 students of various race, countries, culture, and continents coming together to praise OUR God!! AMAZING!!!!

I wanted to talk a little bit about community groups. When we picked up our schedules for the weekend we were given two wrist bands- one of the wrist bands told you what community group you were in. I was in the pink one!! Once in the community groups, you break down into even smaller groups- they were called your family groups. I ended up with a group of 8 girls I didn’t know (which is how it is supposed to go)! WE started off with the basics- name, major, classification, college, etc. but before long we were talking about our spiritual struggles and our daily walk with God (etc.). We talked as if we had known each other for years- it was awesome! I added 7 girls to my prayer list this week! I have a group of ladies that are spread all over the United States who I know are praying for me daily and are keeping me accountable of the changes I wanted to make in my spiritual walk. I’m so excited to get to know them better through Facebook!! I can’t wait to see what God has in store for their lives!

There were some AMAZING speakers - Louie Giglio, Beth Moore, Francis Chan, Andy Stanley, and John Piper. What I plan to do in the next few days is post some of my notes on here from each session. My notes are the things that stuck out to ME! YOu need to watch the vidoes of the conference to get the full message!!
That’s it for now :)!
