So a few weeks ago we helped out with First Baptist Church of O'Fallon's Underground youth retreat at Lake Sallateeska. The leaves were just starting to change colors, there was a slight chill all weekend...it was beautiful! Aubrey Spears was the guest speaker as he walked us through Great Love. Aubrey and leaders took the youth through Proverbs 7 and the warnings, dangers, and consequences of sex before marriage...but more than that. We were able to discuss with students various ways to truly avoid temptations in the reality of high school. I loved sharing stories with my girls about the lies I believed growing up...one particular had our room laughing prettttty hard the first night. (I still blame Andi Jaeger for distracting me in health class in 10th grade....) I not only hope the youth had as much fun as I did, but I hope they took home the heart of the Message as well. From the begining the 9th grade girls had the most intense game of keep-away I'd ever seen...the guys were, well being guys...skipping rocks or rockin' canoes. SENIOR guys, how are your phones working these days?? It was so pretty over the weekend that the water looked beyond fake in real life! I had a blast and my girls were amazing:) Hope you're all still doing great and stickin' with any goals or standards that were set!!!
Thanks Aubrey!!
