Tonight's Talk
Thursday night after Chapel we had a foot washing and it was awesome! The foot washing showed our humility and service to each other as it did when Jesus washed His disciples feet. We took turns washing someone's feet and then the person whose feet were washed would choose someone who had not been washed yet. It was awesome to see! The best part was that Brian washed Lindsay's feet and John washed Marianne's feet. This was great to witness because it was younger brothers washing their sister's feet. Marianne and Lindsay were our two Seniors on the trip and they will be leaving us next year. It was really cool to see these two brothers humble themselves before their siblings and care for them. It gave me goose bumps! Tomorrow we will head out to do some Water Fall exploration.

Wednesday Night Talk
Last night we talked about how Christ uses our talents, tonight we talked about how Christ uses our weakness for His glory!!
2 Corinthians 12:9 says,
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
The speaker here is Jesus and the listener is Paul. This is where Paul is talking about the "thorn in his side" and this is the word Paul recieves from Christ on this weakness.
Here we see Christ using weaknesses to make His power perfect. We then thought about and shared some of our weaknesses and talked about how Christ could uses them for His glory. I was so blessed by how the discussion went!! Our youth are amazing in their understanding of Faith and there respect of each other. Some of them shared some very personal stories of weakness and the rest of the young adults really looked like the church in their love and compassion for thier brothers and sisters who shared.
We talked about how the church should be a place where we feel safe to be open and share our weaknesses and support each other. Very often we try to act cool or prideful and don't share with others. But God does some amazing things with our weakness! When God uses us in our weakness there is no way we can say, "I did this." We can only throw our hands in the air in worship to our Savior and say this was from God and to Him be all glory, honor and praise!
Good night!
