Reagon Retreat!
This weekend was the best weekend I've had so far. Reagan retreat is for my church called Christ Community Church. It was emotionally freeing. It was everything that I needed right now. I felt so at peace and happy there :) There were so many epiphanies' I had and so many things I needed to here. The theme for the retreat was "The good fight" so on Friday night, a minister talked about how you don't need to fight and worry yourself about anything because the battle is already won. One thing that stuck with me was when the minister said "we are not fighting for victory but from victory". They had a woman and men session on Saturday and in my session another minister talked about the issues that woman face today like some woman want attention and they tend to do whatever they can to get that attention. The minister also talked about how all woman want love, acceptance, etc. On Saturday night, a minister talked about basically fighting with the holy spirit and it was such an amazing experience because so many people got baptized with the holy spirit and my campus director told me something that I needed to hear. This Sunday morning before I left, another minister was talking about the weapons we talk about. I met so many people on this retreat that now I already have like a second family that I know that they're there for me and I am there for them :) I got to experience God the way I've never experienced before which is the best thing I could ask for:) I even got baptized for the second time because I was young the first time so I felt like I needed to do it again. I came back from the retreat feeling genuinely happy, joyful and peaceful.
