Genesis Cabin Retreat 2011

I'm a week behind, but here is a recap of the 2011 Genesis Cabin Retreat!  Every year, we go to the mountains for some team building and personal growth focus time, and every year, we have a great time! We play games, enjoy the hot tubs (separated into girls and boys, of course ;) ), have some amazing devotions, eat together, do crazy things a Wonder Works (so fun!), and basically just enjoy a few days together as the leadership team for Genesis.

This year, I was very honored to be asked to lead a devotion, and I spoke about God calling us to stay in this world to make a difference, but to not be afraid to be different from the world.  We read John 15:18-19, John 16:33, and John 17:13-19, and asked God to reveal to us where we are being luke warm in our faith.  We prayed that God would give us strength, conviction, and courage to live for Him, even if it makes life hard, awkward, or uncomfortable.  In the end, no matter what following Jesus calls us to go through, we know that we have the greatest reward:  love and communion with God!

Kendrick, Sarah and Billy Rogers, and Robbie (our pastor), led the other devotions, and those followed a similar theme of wrestling with your thought life, honoring God in every area of your life, and choosing to follow Him above all else!

Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of how amazing this trip was!
