Surrender

LovingFatherGrace

Can I just begin by saying how grateful I am for lovingFatherGrace??? If it weren't for her and all of my other supporters I would not be writing this right now.

The last time I posted something real was January 19th and I spoke about faith. 

Today I read a comment from lovingFatherGrace that reminded me that my writing was actually impacting people's lives. I realized that I'd begun posting at least once a day to once a week to once a month. 

I began to forget what I was actually doing here on wattpad. I began to pay more attention to my other stories that may have been popular but weren't really changing lives. 

I want to thank everyone who has commented and thanked me for the message I gave, but also remember to thank God first because He gave me the message.

Those are only a few. Thanks everyone!

In today's post I want to share about Creation Festival. This year my youth group went for the first time and it was such a life changing experience.

If you don't know what it is, its like a firefly for Believers. 100s of bands and tens of thousands of believers all in one place for five days.

Pastor Harry, the man who began the entire thing in 1991 ( I think lol) had a vision to bring God's people together in one field for worship. He began with himself and a few people and now the entire festival is talked about country wide. I had the chance to meet many of my favorite artists and work backstage with the bands. 

One of the moments that stuck out for me was my first day of working backstage. Our supervisor gathered us together for prayer before we began and she reminded us that we weren't really there just to meet a bunch of artists and listen to music. We were there because God put us there to share his glory with the world. It was so easy to get caught up in the festival and forget about our purpose. I thank Jessie for bringing us back to reality. 

Something that I shared before worship on Sunday...one of the nights of the festival, For King and Country was there. I love their music and was excited for their concert  but the other kids in my youth group weren't big fans so I ended up going on my own. 

So there I was at 10 o' clock at night and Joel Smallbone was singing his heart out about 20 feet from me and I couldn't get into it. I was standing among over 30,000 people and somehow I felt really alone. 

But then I realized that I shouldn't feel alone when Hebrews 13:5 says that God will never leave us nor forsake us. 

Only then was I able to let go and worship God at the concert, because I knew that God was with me and I no longer felt like I was worshipping with a bunch of strangers and I didn't feel alone. 

So if there's anything you take from this let it be one of these two...one, you know that you are never EVER alone, and two, youre going to Creation Festival next year! :)

THANKS FOR READING AND GOD BLESS!
