More than Enough

So last Monday morning the youth group headed up North to San Jose to the Southern Baptist State Youth Conference, and it was amazing! This conference was life changing! We had two amazing speakers, Will Snipes and Chris Simning. The MC was Bob Smiley, who is hilarious and the bands were Addison Road, Charlie Hall was the worship leader and then the all to famous Kutless, who freakin rocked to hard! The whole theme was as you can see (if you can read backwards) More than enough. The whole premise was that through any life circumstances God is more than enough to get us through these times. It was cnetered around the premise of Paul writing to the Philippian church telling them he has found the secret in being content in every situation! (Phil 4:12). The messages were amazing, the bands were great, and our students connected. I had the opportunity to pray for many of our students on their request which if you know anything about youth, that is huge! I am hoping that it will inspire our students to continue to rely on God for their strength. It was a challenge for me because ever through out the conference, I was trying to make sure everything was taken care of and I realized I needed to rest in the fact that God was more than enough for any situation at hand and I needed to focus on that, and just thank him for even allowing me to be a part of something so amazing! I continued to tell our students to take God serious and trust Him. One student in particular who has been through some very tough times and does not understand why so much has happened to him and his family told me "I am choosing to trust God" That was awesome!
