i'm not going to go into detail of the whole thing because we might do the same thing next year ::chuckles:: same talk, same songs, same exact words that was said and the same exact time...that was how good the retreat was.... it has to be perfect..
but yea not only that i met new people, but i've gotten closer to them to call them my brothers and sister in Christ. Also i saw some people that i haven't seen in forever!!..i'm so glad that they got to go to this retreat, not only to show that they haven't fully drifted away from GL but that i freaking miss them...
honestly, i can agree with some people on this....
this GL retreat had a bigger impact on ME than Stuebenville West 08....weird huh?...
iono why..is it because of the people i was with... or is it because we didn't have to take the bus to the GL retreat?...iono...but i liked this retreat more than Stuebenville West '08....i can proove it...

"One last thing I would like to leave you to always remember from this weekend. Prayer is a powerful thing. It's a tool given to us by God to communicate with Him. How do you grow in your relationships? Through communication. How do you communicate with God? Through prayer. Your friends and family are there to GATHER with you and show you the love, SON. You've got to be attentive and LISTEN to everything around you SON. You've got to PRAY SON or else how do you get to know God? You've got to RECEIVE SON and let go and let God (come in), surrender yourself, your possessions, if necessary, give permission to God to take all of those away. You don't need them when it's only you and Him. SHINE LIKE THE SON, and don't forget that whether you know it or not, you embody Christ to those around you."
