Day of Prayer

So, today was the Day of Prayer. Well, it ended at 4:00-ish...but close enough. We got up this morning and it started with a chapel service of worship (through song), silent praying, and a little bit of group praying, oh, and a tiny message too. After that we had a small break before joining with the high school for another chapel service. This time it was mostly worship, and a bit of praying/teaching time. We then had communion and were dismissed for lunch, but a lot of people, including myself, were fasting, so we just stayed in the sanctuary for a while. In the afternoon we met with our halls and then we went on a prayer walk throughout the campus in small groups. We then ended with another chapel service. It was such a good day, the atmosphere was so free and fresh, and God's presence was so evident. When we were ending the day with worship around 4:00, we were all just standing in silence after the worship team had stopped playing. Some girls started the doxology and everyone joined in. This set off a time of people just shouting out Bible verses declaring God's power and starting other songs like Amazing Grace and I Love You Lord. It was so beautiful. 

Other than that, this weekend was good. It was a nice and relaxing Sat/Sun after my long and challenging retreat on Friday. I watched a couple of movies, one being the Passion of the Christ; it was good to watch that again. Ooh. I also went to MJ for supper one night. Yay for restaurants. :)

And now, I have a little window to do some homework before small group. I need to do some memorizing, and I need to write what I'm going to say at SCS tomorrow. That's right, tomorrow! :) I have to be up pretty early to head out with the people, but I'm quite excited. Yaayy.
