Winter Praises
12/20 UPDATE: I uploaded some random/silly pics from the retreat (photos all courtesy of Patrick and Scott) to flickr. (let me know if you're unable to view them)

Whew, finally finished processing and posting the pictures I took from the BAAYF Winter Praise. =)
I can't believe Christmas is 7 days away! I still haven't had the opportunity to sit down and fully process this past year... but there's truly so much to be thankful for, including finally getting out of credit card debt! It's incredible to think that this - once an unending source of stress and depression, and something I thought I would never escape - no longer hangs over my head! In many respects, it's a fitting analogy to how Jesus - in his infinite, redeeming grace - came down to free us all from the unending, dark debt of our sins... something that we would never be able to do ourselves!
I'm constantly left breathless at the depth of God's faithfulness and goodness... He's blessed me with the privilege to lead some small groups and watch how He's transformed their (our) lives, and blessed me with the opportunity to participate in the youth ministry... which has helped me continue feel (mostly) young at heart! ;)
I'm also thankful for this past weekend's fellowship retreat... it was a great time of hanging out, talking, playing, worshipping and praying together. I also had the opportunity to bring out my long-dormant mischievous side and TP the sisters' cars... *grin* Sadly, EVERYONE immediately suspected me!!! What the heck is up with that?? =P
It's all good though... I really hope this is the beginning of more cross-gender interactions between the sisters and brothers of the fellowship, and that this will encourage people not to take themselves so seriously! ;)

Hahaha... I'm innocent! ;P
I still can't believe everyone IMMEDIATELY suspected me, and as the mastermind! Instead of "were you involved, Steve?" It was more like: "Who were your cronies, Steve?"
So much for my cover as sweet and innocent! ;P
Hmm... now that I realize everyone's going to instantly suspect me any time some pranks are played, I'm going to have to rethink strategy... muahahaha...
