I had the BEST long weekend ever in my entire life! I volunteered to chaperon a bunch a teenagers to a Youth Convention this past weekend, and really wasn't expecting much for my weekend besides babysitting. BUT I WAS SO WRONG!!! The Convention was AMAZING!!!
They had an awesome worship leader/band that had everyone jumping, a mind blowing illusionist who did insane things with cards, money, predictions, and at the end of his act, a Houdini like 'great escape'. They had a BMX professional, and his team come and do some AMAZING tricks on their bikes! That's not even all of it! They really went ALL out!
But in my opinion, what really made the weekend was the speaker, Reggie!!!
He was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HILARIOUS!!! I can't remember the last time I laughed so much, or so hard in my life! He definitely found his calling!!! He knew exactly how to get his words across in a way that made you want to listen. He talked about his life, and what he came from, and in doing so, he could relate to everyone out there that may be going through some form of hell themselves. He gave encouragement to live, to put your past where it belongs... in the past. He motivated us to do the right thing, and get our lives back on track, and much much more!
Every time he spoke he had you laughing though, so it wasn't always serious, unless it called for it. And whenever it was a serious moment, the whole place was dead silent. I swear you could hear a pin drop! He was THAT captivating!
I've decided to take everything from that weekend I can and keep it! (I'm keepin mah eye! LOL) I've decided I needed to change things in my life, that needed to be changed. And I can honestly say I'm very excited to make the changes so I can live out my life the way HE designed me too!!!
