Retreat!

This weekend was so much fun. The first time we ever went to one of our church's retreats since we started going there. I just wanted to blog about it before I forgot most things.

The sessions were actually pretty interesting. They were the basic "love one another as you love yourself" sort of thing, but more in depth. It felt good to be reminded about those kinds of principles.

The night of the bonfire was probably the highlight of the whole weekend for me. It was so nice just sitting there with everyone around a big fire, late at night when the air was chilly and the moon was almost full. I felt God's presence there when a few people shared their testimonies and when we sang a few songs. After the bonfire, a few of us that stayed at the lodge decided to stay in the cabins where everyone else was. Some of the college & career and youth were going to play Mafia. When everyone came back from the bonfire, they were all snacking on anything that was left in the kitchen. It was craaaazy. So when we were playing Mafia, it was kinda confusing because they played it differently. But oh well. Still fun. After Mafia, the college & career guys decided to go to their bunks, and all the girls came out from theirs. They played Boom Chicka Boom Boom until they got tired of it. They actually made it around a few times. It was funny. :D I didn't play because I needed to take a shower. After that game, they played the question game. Then after all THAT craziness, everyone went back to their bunks except for me, Rica, AJ, Jared, Tim, my sister, Hannah, Micah, and Kuya Aaron. We all stayed outside in the main area and just chillllllled. Later that time, Micah and Hannah were getting sleepy so they went back to their bunks to sleep. Jared went to sleep too, but on a couch. Only a few were left, and we paired up in our own little groups, but not on purpose. Rica and AJ talked, my sister and Kuya Aaron talked, and Tim and I played Go Fish. He cheated forreal. Hahaha just kidding.

There are so many things that happened over the weekend. I don't feel like telling about what happened. I'll just have to rely on my memories. I'm so glad we got the chance to go this year. :]

Oh, how I love the ICC family.
But most importantly, God.
