This past weekend I went on Fall Retreat with my old Sunday School Class. It was an adventure, at times refreshing and overall a very encouraging and convicting time. I am really glad that I decided to go.
This year we went to Vineyard Camp right outside of Pilot Mountain. I would classify this camp as rustic. At what age do you become to old to climb up into a three story bunk bed? I would venture to say I have passed this age.
I would also venture to say that I do not enjoy showering with 15 inch daddy long legs. Ok, maybe they weren't quite 15 inches... but they we huge, ginormous in fact. Just saying.
However, it was a beautiful camp with lots to do on the property. The had a play ground with swings! They had tetherball! They had horses! And they had lots of dogs to play with, too!
The theme for the weekend was Missions. We mainly looked having a proper heart for missions. I enjoyed listening to the talks, but was most convicted by one of my classmates testimonies. She was talking about when she went to Mawali and what scared her the most. But her point was "God will provide. He will provide for whatever He has called you to and what He has planned for you."
Wow.
Did I need to hear that. If I am supposed to go back to school, He will provide!
Of course, we had fun... there was the Autumn Leaves Festival in Mount Airy (real life town that Andy Griffith's Mayberry was modeled after), the bonfire, and good times frolicking! Here are some photos of the weekend:
The Autum Leaves festival. The guy in the picture on the right? He was serving the food -- not even kidding. Hungry now?
Some of the fun people I got to hang out with all weekend!
