So after a very long car ride with excess July 4th traffic we finally made it to our hotel in Indiana. The students had great attitudes despite the fact that our drive took an extra 2 hours because of traffic. Our hope was to arrive to our hotel by 7:30 or so, but ended up here at 9:30.
Our plan is to get going by 7:00 in the morning so that we can arrive to Louisville by lunch.
For me personally, I am very excited to see our students be impacted by the conference as a whole and to see what God has for them. As I have mentioned before, the national youth conferences that I attended in High School were some of the most significant times of growth for me personally. Interacting with a few of the students even today helps me to see that their intentions are in the right place. One of the things that a few of the students verbalized to me that I know will be a source of encouragement is the opportunity to worship our great God with 6500 other students!
Josh Schmidt reminded me of something that I would encourage you all to pray for our students about. He mentioned that he is excited for Life because he knows it will be a spiritual high for him that will last. But as we know, those spiritual mountain tops cannot last forever! So as you think about the students, pray that the spiritual high will last, and they will remember the experiences they have for their lifetime!
We will continue to keep you updated as the week unfolds!
