Victory Weekend

Victory Weekend is always one of my highlights from our annual church calendar. It's a time when we go away and allow God to radically deal with us. "Radically" in a very literal sense - in that we allow Him to deal with the very root of all the gunk in our lives. It never ceases to amaze me how we can walk around for years fill of hurts from traumatic experiences in our past, unresolved relationships, sin that we've never dealt with.. all this stuff. And in one short weekend, if we allow Him to, He can remove and heal it all. So it's always a very exciting time - seeing people set free, restored to what God created them to be. Do you know that when God looks at us, He sees Himself reflected in us?! How crazy. He looks at little old siff me and sees holiness, righteousness, purity, joy... That cheers me up no end! :o)
