The teen night of the cell conference was tonight. It was so awesome. From beginning to end. The testimony time was awesome. We all gathered around Pat and prayed for him because he's trying to quit smoking because he feels that God wants him to, but he keeps messing up. And Alison and Jon and Zach and some of the other adults all shared and there were lots of tears and it was awesome. Then Jessica danced and Jodi sang and it was awesome. Then Chris from England gave a really awesome sermon about being close enough to God so that you can hear his heart beat. Then to close, the praise band played "Give Us Clean Hands" and it went on for like 10 minutes and I was so controlled by the spirit and I was screaming and then I was just out of breath and we got really quiet and just sang the chorus accapella. And then I just started playing "Sanctuary." I don't even really know how to play that song, but God just gave me the chords and it worked. I don't think I'll ever forget how to play that song after that. It was the spirit. And then He just gave me a prayer to share. And it was long, but it wasn't really me speaking. And then I couldn't talk and I just went and hid in one of the closets. I didn't want to open my eyes or let go of that experience. It was moving and awesome. God is the most wonderful thing ever. I can't believe how great and powerful He is. Thank God for everything.
