From An Acorn to an Oak

First off, I must say sorry for completely disappearing from the blog for a week straight. It’s been a busy time at home so far with work and the trip I just came back from that lasted from Monday to Thursday. Tomorrow it’s back to the grind for the weekend and more tasks. When’s it going to get boring around here?

I’ll have to first explain what on earth Oak N’ Acorn is to you so you can somewhat follow what I am talking about in this post. Oak N’ Acorn is an amazing conference/camp at Ligonier for people to learn about leadership, evangelism, and my category, bible study. Its 4 days of fellowship with other young adult Christians from other various colleges all over Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. My friend Cody and I attended this because we have plans to lead a bible study at home this summer for “rising college students” (high school graduates this year) and college students. Needless to say, it was a terrific time.

When I heard about Oak N’ Acorn I was under the impression we were at some resort, like many conferences in the past, but it’s actually a camp, which is fine, I loved it. The people there were so warm and friendly. As I ran up the huge wooden steps in the lobby up to our rooms it felt as if I was apart of a big family in a big house- but I am in a family- the family of God. I made some great new friends and had a terrific time learning about bible study and God. My relationship with Him needs to be closer, like a relationship with a loved one, yearning to learn more and more about that special someone. Jesus completes my life- without Him I would be lost.

We had awesome times of fun and fellowship. I was the poker champ this year (it’s a miracle, haha) and I played Ultimate Frisbee for the first time. Now I’m hooked for sure, I kept asking if we were playing again soon. We are trying to making plans for the fall semester and how to bring freshman into some events we can hold. Only time can tell, God has great things in store.

God truly blessed the past four days and has blessed my life. I’m excited about the bible study this summer and all the amazing things Cody and I will discover through God’s Word. It’s more than a book, by far. It’s a history of God’s people, its word is true, and it’s amazing to fully understand it.

I’m off to crochet for the night and take it easy, another busy week follows! I will try to catch up with everyone’s blogs, I haven’t been on the computer much lately. Sorry! Have a great week, God bless, lata peeps!
