Friday was the first day of DNOW. I was kind of nervous because it has been 5 years since I was at a DNOW, and was't sure what it would be like to be there but as a leader. So Friday night we showed up at church, had a praise band lead worship, then went back to our host homes and had a session. I had 9th grade girls and they were SO sweet. They all seemed really close and were laughing pretty much the whole time. Our theme was sexual purity, and all our discussions were based around 1 Thes. 4:3-4.

Day 15
Saturday was a SUPER busy day. We woke up and had a few sessions then worked on our skit. At lunch time we drove out to a baptist encampment at Lake Lavon, ate lunch, and did a service project. Our grade was assigned to clean the cafeteria. It sounds easy but no, we were basically cleaning our own mess. We had just eaten in there and tracked in a LOT of mud. It was a lot of work but the girls made it fun. After that we went back to church had some worship time, a guest speaker, and then skit night.

Day 16
Today, we woke up and went to sunday school and service. Then I came home and SLEPTT!!!!! It was an awesome weekend. Its always so funny because you don't realize how much you have changed until you are back around high schoolers and you realize you can't stay up as late, or be as crazy as you used too. Finally, I heard this verse today in Church and really liked it. "It is better now to vow then to make a vow and break it." Ecclesiastes 5:5.
service
peace.
