Day Three: Hitting the Wall

Well this is officially our third day in New Orleans and all of the late nights and early mornings are beginning to catch up with us! Today was similar to yesterday: We began our day with morning Bible study, learning about the miracle Jesus performed when he spit into the dirt and healed the blind man. Several of the youth spent time in the exhibit halls snagging all of the free SWAG (Stuff We All Get). Some also took advantage of the inflatable games and other activities that were set up.

No rain today! But it might as well rain- most of us are drenched after walking several blocks to the convention center and Superdome in the heat and humidity. In spite of the uncomfortable conditions, the kids are having a great time and making the most of our convention experience.

In the evening program tonight we learned about OUR STORIES. Well...not OUR story, but really God's Story. We learned that we are NOT the star of the show when things are going on in our lives. God is the star...he is the one that our focus should be on

We look forward to the final full day of the gathering tomorrow and what God will continue to show us. Another thing we plan to FINALLY do tomorrow is eat some authentic New Orleans FOOD! With the fast paced schedule we haven't been able to sit down and eat somewhere nicer.

We'll keep the posts coming! Keep those prayers going, Saint Paul! God is doing great things in our young people!
