Big Bear Retreat

This weekend I embarked myself on a spiritual journey. Completely taken out of my usual routine of life, I was able to see life from a totally different perspective. Examples of this would be waking up at 6 am each day and hiking miles of a beautiful mountain. I went on this retreat with a team of kids ranging from ages 15-18 years old from my youth group at church. Together we learned the meaning of sisterhood and brotherhood. Since we stayed in a cabin, aside from hiking to Castle Rock, we spent time with each other as we learned from our ministry advisors gave us workshops. These workshops taught us how to be a better follower of God. There are so many things that they have taught me that I have definitely neglected in my religious life. I am so grateful to be surrounded by such a optimistic group of ambitious people. God has truly blessed me.
