okay, this is a bit overdue, but i have only just gotten the chance to tell all about Vision conference. Vision is this all day christian conference, where we have speakers and have worship and go to a concert at night. the speaker this year was Jeremy Kingsley, and he was a really good speaker. i don't remember everything that he said, but some things that really stuck with me were: 1. God has a heart for the nations. It's written all over the bible, especially the New Testament. 2. We can be ridiculously prideful. he told us about a time when he went to a conference and when they started singing, realized that he had been placing his life over Jesus. he told us that he had had this image of a huge crowd of people and he was in the middle, riding a horse. Jesus was going through the crowd, ad when he reached him, he said to Jeremy Kingsley, "You are a selfish prideful person. Now would you please get off my horse." That sort of hit me cuz i can be pretty prideful, too. Overall, the conference was awesome.
There was also this band called Rielly playing at Vision. Apparently they used to be called the John Rielly Band. Anyway, they led worship throughout the day, and they were amazing!!!!! I got to meet them all and got their autographs as well. It was really cool. For the concert at night, another band called Stellar Kart played. We had to leave early tho, cuz the conference was in lancaster. I really sad about that, because the were really good.
Final news for the day: SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!! I love this weather!
sounds like a great conference! I can totally resinate with #2. Its crazy how our (prideful) hearts can twist sin so much so it's actually like invisible, or easy to ignore. I find myself being prideful all the time and I never really see it till someone else points it out (scary) and it's always good to have that reminder. :) OMGOSH!!!! REILLY!?!?! They all went to my old church (the one before the church plant) I kno who they all are and the violin player's Mom is my writing teacher. :P haha. did they sound good?? I haven't heard them in forever... my gosh i just wrote a novel for a comment.. sorry. :P
