Winterfest '06--Gatlinburg, TN---amazing! an incredible weekend! spiritually uplifting and rejuvenating. 14,000 teens and chaperones came together to praise God, learn more and be edified!
--we stood in FREEZING temperatures, snow and ice.
--we ate krispy kreme donuts from a real krispy kreme store--not Giant
--we sang "How great is our God"!
--we heard that we we should believe in "Gesus"!!! yes i spelled it correctly---Jeff Walling had a little freudian moment there and spelled "G-E-S-U-S"!!!
--we saw 2 kids from our youth group turn their lives over to Christ!
--we (well the teens) went swimming at an indoor oasis at 11 p.m.
--we had a boys with special needs have an allergic reaction to his meds and suffered most of Friday. On sat. when his episodes were over, one of our teen boys took him swimming at 7:30 a.m. because he had missed it the night before!!!!!! This kid is amazing! They both are!
--one of the kids who was baptized has been ready for a year and he was reassured that "there was room for 2 in the pool and that his mom was there and no time like the present!" God at work!!!!
--we had no teens get piercings and tatoos this year! well at least not that i know of today! last year was a different story!
--jay got to go for the first time!
--our bus driver was hard of hearing...i would prefer this to the crossed eyed bus driver we had 2 years ago!
--we saw and connected with friends and family that we had not seen in a year!
--i had very little, i mean very little sleep this weekend--but it was all worth it!
--bus rides--so much fun!
--mexican food---yumm-o!
--what is up with gatlinburg having mostly pepsi and not coke!!!!???? I am a coke girl--preferably cherry coke!
---can't complain too much because we did have sweet tea! gotta love the south!
