Winter Retreat

I went as a chaperone to a winter retreat this weekend and I think it is one of the best things I have done in a long time. The first day I was volunteered for the youth pastor apprenticeship (it was sort of like a leadership thing). We were told to have our testimonies ready to tell at anytime. This worried me because I didn't know what I would say, plus I would be saying it in front of a lot of people. That night I was talking to my friend Heather and she told me that she would be scared in my situation too. That made me feel a whole lot better. At that time I decided to tell her my testimony. After I told her I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The pain wasn't gone, but it felt as if it didn't have as much power over me now. After I told her I felt ready to tell anyone. I prayed about it and I was scared, I actually was hoping they would choose me to give mine. They didn't, but in the last small group we shared our testimonies and I went first. I wasn't scared at all. More later.

    About Me: I'm 18 years old. My profile thing says 19, but I can't figure out how to change it. I'm completely anonymous because I don't want anyone to have any thoughts that I just want attention or someone to feel sorry for me. That's not it. I just need someone to listen and even if no one reads what I've written, I still feel like I've told someone.
