consumed with Your majesty

As many of you know, we all just got back from the youth convention Acquire The Fire in Indy this past weekend. I, as well as everyone else, feel like it was a much needed event spiritually. We had some rededicate their lives to Jesus. Seriously, I wish everyone could have experienced it. There were around 15,000 youth that attended. Conseco Fieldhouse, for that day, became God's house. It's unexplainable just how powerful that place was that day. I consider events like this as kind of a pep-rally for our soul...and that it certainly was. We all grew much closer to not only God but to each other. We were all crying our eyes out worshiping the Most High. The Holy Spirit was alive in that place. It really is an unexplainable experience just being in a place filled with thousands of Christ followers. I am so proud of the teens. There was zero drama the entire weekend...no whining, griping...at least none out of the ordinary! haha It was the most amazing time. Thanks so much to our chaperones: My (Bart's) mom, Rob and Karen, Kevin and Richelle, and Andy. Thanks to you all for making this experience possible. Our prayer for that weekend and for our everyday lives is: Father, will you come, and open up our eyes, fill us with your heart, renew us with your life, consume us with your majesty. Glory, honor, and power belong to You.
