Day 3 - Wednesday

Thursday, December 30, 2010

We had lots of activity going on once again. It's been great seeing different groups of students diving in and getting to know one another who didn't connect before this retreat. Whether it was playing broomball together, tubing down the hill or climbing the wall it's been great watching students smile and laugh together.

Last night we looked at some key principles that we need to put into practice if we want to live courageously like Daniel...

We need to live consistently in front of others and the platform God has given us

Be in constant communication with God

Live confidently in the identity and purpose God has for our life

Stand strong in our resolve to obey God

Several students responded tonight, talking and sharing with leaders areas that they have been struggling to give God complete control of so they can stand out for Him. Other students confessed their need to make a change in their behavior and priorities so they can really get to know Christ in a deeper relationship then what they do right now.

After our session we headed to the game to play a nice friendly game of TubeWars in the gym. It's hard to explain the fun and competition that TubeWars brings but we're working to get some pictures up yet this morning before coming home so you can see for yourselves.

As we get ready to head home this morning pray for students as they are challenged to make a game plan for steps they need to take as we head home. To truly make the changes that students have said they want to they'll need to come up with next steps so they don't let those commitments slide. Pray for Wisdom and clarity as they seek God for those next steps.
