Big Sandy Love

I love church retreats, I always have. But this weekend was very special for me. I had the opportunity to plan a retreat with the help of my senior class of '09. We planned everything from crowd breakers to the worship. But I had the unique opportunity to speak to the 72 other students that attended.

This was something I felt I needed to do, and knew immediately what I wanted to talk about. I had the chance to share my heart about being 'hot' in your faith in your life. My personal experience and growth, and how that's influenced my life. I shared four ways to get hot, and stay hot for God.

I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to speak, but also to have some fun with the others in the youth group. Getting tackled by Nelson, or getting snow in the face from Olga on the tubing hill, it was a great weekend full of great fun, fellowship and spiritual growth.
