My Righteous Invasion Of Truth.
So there's this amazing crowd that I've grown up with in the years that matter in a girls life: the preteen years. These guys have been there through the good, bad and ugly, and we get sick of eachother, sure, but we're family. We tough it out and stick out for one another, and you couldn't ask for more.
In the years that I've known all of my friends in my youth group (RIOT: Righteous Invasion Of Truth) at the Pathway Vineyard, I've grown so much. I've made mistakes and I've learned from them and I've also benifited from them, and made some amazing friends. I've dragged people down, and people have dragged me down, but it's all a part of life; we're only human.
I would have to say that Maine and the Pathway Vineyard have to be two of the biggest best things that have happened to me in my lifetime. I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't moved here.
I could never forget my first Aquire the Fire trip. I overpacked, and I brought an alarm clock, and people weren't to happy with me when it went off 15 minutes to 6 in the morning. I remember walking back to the van in the parking lot when it was over, and I wasn't watching where I was going and ran into a pole. Yup, sounds a lot like clumsy me.
Then there was my first missions trip which was so amazing words can't begin to describe it!! The beautiful beaches, the wounderful, hopspitable people and they're awesome sense of family and love even though they didn't have much to offer. All the families and people had such a fiery spirit. We went to the Doominican Republic, and it was by far one of the best experiences in my life; I hope to do that again.
All the Unite Maine's we've been to and hosted. Tons of teens getting saved, having fun and drinking energy drinks!!
Camping and hiking trips!! When Bekah hiked up Tumbledown in jandals (flip-flops) and her motivation was to get cellphone reception at the top. Haha. We got stung by bees, and it was raining, we had a few slips, but we made it by working together. It was something we all needed. And a weekend in the wilderness sure brought us all closer together.
