Weekend in Williamsburg
I'll try to sum up many of the experiences I've had this weekend. There was a yummy dinner at Olive Garden friday night. Then off to the Virginia Conference Youth Workers Retreat. The speaker was Erik Swanson and he spoke on spiritual formation in youth. We were taught several prayer practices to use with the youth. One of the spcial prayer times for me was sitting in a quiet room, being led in simple two line songs, listening to a scripture passage read twice, then sitting in silence for 15 minutes, finishing with another simple song. I found it incredibly relaxing and peaceful. What wonderful time with God.
I went away this weekend feeling busy and overwhelmed by everthing there is to do in my life. So this became a theme in my prayers. By the end of the weekend I was at peace with my schedule. I felt God reminding me that he is in control and I can do all things through him. He will make sure I have enough time to do the important things in my life.
