February starts off like any other month...work, school, musical practice. There was my mom and dad's 18th wedding anniversary...that makes me feel old!
The biggest that happened in February was a little old thing called Teens Encounter Christ otherwise known as TEC. If you haven't heard about it here is a little jist of what it really is. It is a weekend, Friday through Sunday, where teens from all across central Iowa come and encounter God! It has changed so much about my life that I cannot even describe it. This blog will not to TEC any justice. I went in there with some faith about God and came out with the biggest faith I have ever had in him. I truly believe that TEC is one of the main things in my life that has made me who I am today! How did God lead me here you say? Well we have to go back to November 18, 2009. I had posted a bible verse on Facebook, Psalms 56:3-3 When I am afraid I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?, I soon got a comment from Allison Crossett telling me that I should try TEC and that I would love it. I asked her about it more and all she could tell me was that it is an experience that I would never forget. Little did I know that she was telling me the truth. After a few weeks of hesitation I finally sent in my application and was accepted to TEC #43. The morning of TEC I was so nervous, I was worried about what people were going to think of me, I was nervous about how everything was going to go and what was going to happen if I didn't enjoy. As soon as we left the house I knew that there was no turning back I was committed and was on my way to a weekend that has never left my mind yet. I was so overwhelmed when I got there so much was going on at the same time and I was not ready for this. Then I started to get into the groove of things and I was no longer nervous. I was enjoying my time. I was finding myself and God. I was on a Jesus high for a week. I also had made some new and amazing friends. Finally my Jesus high wore off but thank goodness I know who he is and what he has done for me!!!! I did not do TEC justice in this blog but trust me I'm pretty sure you'll be hearing about in some more of my blogs!! TEC was just amazing!!
Let's just say that February was one of those months that will never be forgotten!!!
March was a little more busy!!!
