an amazing weekend!

18 Feb

Wow! What an amazing weekend I had! For those who don’t know and are not up-to-date on the “Cordle Fam Blog,” I went to Orlando this weekend to be a Disciple Now leader! It was such a great experience and it is so cool the way God can use you in ways you don’t realize you can be used.My friend Becca and I left Thursday afternoon on a plane to Orlando. After some conflicts with our original flight schedule, Becca’s dad came and got us from Auburn and flew us to Orlando. We got to Orlando and found out we had 14 7th grade girls. We knew this was going to be a challenge but we were so excited!We spent Friday and Saturday with these girls, getting to know them, loving on them, and teaching them what it means to be “Purified in Christ.” Our theme verse of the week was 2 Corinthians 1:7  ”Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contains body and spirit, perfecting holiness and out of reference for God.” Throughout the week, we had a jar and in the jar the girls would write down struggles that they wanted to give away to God.Whether it be music, shows, gossiping, etc… Then the last night we burnt the papers, this was really neat and you could tell God was working in these girls lives! I am so glad God gave me the opportunity to do this and hopefully I will get to do it again!      This week is a pretty busy week for me. I have to be able to identify 40 different rocks on Wednesday. I mean really…why is this necessary??      miss you love you!          p.s- I have yet to figure out why when I post all my sentences are bunched together. Bo-help please!
