Awake: WR 2011

Awake:
1. to wake up; rouse from sleep.
2. to rouse to action; become active. 
3. to come or bring to an awareness; become cognizant (often followed by to ).
This past weekend was Winter Retreat 2011. Twenty-four hours away from everything; a time for just you and God. Sean Lea led worship, and was amazing as usual. The worship sessions were my favorite, because there's nothing I love more than singing to my King.
Instead of bringing in a speaker this year, we had three different students that spoke, and our pastor led a session. They spoke about what it means to be awake, what awakens them, and how they were awakened. Hosea talked about the meaning of being "awake" in our relationship with God. Daniel spoke about how worship awakens him. Tori shared how she was awakened. Quinn talked about how sharing the Gospel verbally awakens him.

God did a lot of things in me this week. But instead of one, big, long brain-dump of a post, I'm going to spread it out over four days. Each day corresponding with a session. Stay tuned tomorrow to learn from Pastor Hosea what it means to wake up.

Be blessed!
