Life is kinda like cliff jumping.. kinda.

well.. God did a lot at YFN. Most of which I didn't see until afterwards. He planted things in me and then I went home and was able to put these things to practical use. It was crazy hearing God's voice so clearly in everything I was doing. It was like God was walking me through my day, telling me what to do and what not to do. I love it.
I hung out with London Smith for a while on saturday and we talked about what God did at YFN. Later that night we dropped by his house and picked up Alexandra. Alexandra is one of my very best friends and I've known her my whole life. We were talking and we prayed for her and that night she was freed from fear. This was so cool. She didn't go to YFN, but both London and I did. We were able to bring back FREEROCRACY even to the people who weren't there.
Yesterday, I went cliff jumping. Ironically, at YFN Pastor Banning gave a sermon about "the point of no return" and referring to that point when you jump off the cliff and can't go back. well, I experienced this. Everyone kept telling me not to think about it but just jump. The more I thought, the more I didn't want to jump. So I stopped, someone counted to three, and I jumped off a 40 foot cliff into the water. It seemed like I was in the air for forever and my stomach felt like it was going to come out my mouth. Once my foot left the edge of the cliff I knew I had to stay straight so it wouldn't hurt when I hit the water. It hurt anyways. But when I got out of the water I felt so refreshed and exhilerated. Nathan said "Life is alot like cliff jumping, you have to just jump and go all in, and even if it hurts when you hit the bottom, you learn from your mistakes and try again."

  1. My first jump was really hard. The more I thought about it made me hyper-ventilate. Finally I stepped back, shouted my safety word [Whiskey] and took off! The feeling was breath taking.
