Fastbreak 2009

Just got back from Fastbreak in Cleveland, Tennessee last Monday (a week ago, I forgot to publish this).  It was amazing!  God is amazing.  God really spoke to everyone there.  I was able to work with the programs team and ran the switchboard for the cameras, so I had the luxury of experiencing the conference from the back of the room.  I have always been the person who wants to sit in the back, both in class and in church.  Not so I can zone out and no pay attention but  I want to see what is going on.  I enjoy seeing the process of change God is inducing. And from that unique perspective you get to see everything that develops.  I noticed the first night that a lot of students were sitting down (the students that “didn’t” want to be there, little did they know God would use them being still to His advantage and speak to their hearts). One of the most encouraging things to me is a person raising their hands in worship for the first time. I noticed that each night more and more people were down in front of the stage during worship.  And by the last night a lot of the chairs were empty. And that’s awesome!

The power of God is sometimes overshadowed these days by Society. Or at least we think it is. We tend to think we can overlook God. But that is impossible! No matter how loud our hearts are, God is louder. No matter how much we do to make out lives louder than the voice and power of God, we will never succeed. It is only a matter of time before God is moving in your life.

Seeing those kids move from doing anything they can in order to not listen to God to worshipping in front of people they did not know was amazing. I saw God working in front of my eyes. His voice was louder than their hearts.
