BEST WEEK BY FAR.
I am not even sure if I can write, how I feel about this week in a blog, it was just that crazy, just that awesome.
So go back to that Friday before this week, our awesome, amazing speakers Rich and Lynn had us make these mas, then we had to decorate them, I literally have no craftiness in me, so I was putting random stuff all over it. My mask had jewled eye brows, the word beautful from a magazine on the lips, a cupcake (I have no clue why because I HATE cupcakes) and a flower. Just random stuff no reason, or so I thought..... What they had us do on Tuesday was crazy awesome, and way outside my comfort zone.
We split into smaller groups and each and every single on of us say on a chair, showed out mask, and waited. Waited to hear what God was speaking to the others. How they would look at our masks that we made random and tell us something awesome, is still blowing my mind. I got things like... "You are beautiful and what you say is beautful and that you shouldn't hide what you want to say, that you should be more confident" or "The flower shows how delicate you are" Just crazy awesome stuff like that.
So we did that most of the week, then on Friday... We talked more about the Father Heart Of God, and how we shouldn't abide by the lies of this world, on who we are, so then Rich had us ask God what our new name was, how we arnt what people say we are or what we think. So we went and prayed, then got in a huge circle and 6 volunteers went up first and shared their new name, shared why that's their new name. Then we prayed for them individual going around putting a hand on their back, telling them we are here for you, and let me pray for you. Then it's was gift giving time! Rich had asked us to think of a gift or a couple to give on Friday., but he didn't really tell us what for he just said pray about it and bring it.
Each and every single on of us went up and shared our name and was prayed for then we received gifts. So stuff given was
Money
Skatebkred
Ukulele
Jewelry
Every single one had a meaning and some how became encouraging to that person, and had a great impact
..... So I would like to share mine
The new name I gave my self was... or God gave me was... Sam the confident one.... I can be very shy and sometimes have a hard time talking to people, and being here in a new place with new people it has been hard to feel like my self, so after I said that and everyone in my group did, everyone prayed, people would walk around pray for you and, pray for the others... It was awesome.
Then it was gift giving time,
The first thing I got was a.... braclet
The second thing I got was a.... guitar
The third thing I got was a... Cross
Necklace
I can't remeber what each person said exactly, because it was so overwhelming but it was along the lines of "I want you to have this to feel more confident in yourself, to know that you do have a voice"
It was just so overwhelming but so awesome.
This blog does NOT do justice on how I really felt and, it might be a little choppy to read because I am still like holy cow! This past week was just about the Father Heart Of God, and how we are his children and we should be who God has made us to be, that I am Sam the confident one!
So I hope you liked it! It might be was easier to share this in person, but what eva, it was still good right?
Blog you later alligator...
