I love Relient K. I love their new album. I love that song.
This weekend was incredible. Short version: I spent all day Saturday on a ranch in Mississippi with a group of high school and junior high students.
Long version: (You had to know it was coming)
Our band went on a youth group retreat with First Baptist Denham. I drove two other band members our there. We were told to meet at First Baptist Denham at 9:25 sharp so we could leave at 9:30. So we got there at 9:25. However, in true youth group fashion, we left at 10:45. We had a caravan of about 10 cars, vans, and trailors. Stopped at a Pilot gas station. Got kicked out of said Pilot for blocking exits and entrances. Half of our caravan left while the other half gassed up. This proved to be a mistake. You see, this ranch was in nowhere, Mississippi, also known as Magnolia. And when our half of the caravan left, we left the only person who knew where we were going. End result? We ended up getting lost in the middle of the woods on a dirt road. The only thing missing was a flat tire and a serial killer.
We ended up at the ranch at around 1:30 AM. Went to bed and spent a wonderful with a really great group of kids. I was reconvinced that youth ministry is where I will spend the rest of my life. I have such a strong heart for teenagers. I am slowly realizing that I will never be happy doing anything else.
Did I mention our band performed in a barn? This barn actually. It was legit.
