This past weekend July 11-13, 2014 is a weekend I'll never forget as I attended my second CFC-Youth national conference. Going into conference I'll admit that my faith was really really dry to a point where I didn't even want to go to conference anymore. However, something kept pushing me to just go and to be there so I made a commitment to attend. I didn't know what to expect or what I was going to learn at conference even though I've been to one before. Before conference even started, a sister of mine who's been in the ministry for awhile told me that no two conferences are the same and that you just gotta keep an open mind along with an open heart during the whole conference experience. Man, she was right about all of that lol. This conference was different yet still as surreal as my first conference two years ago in Santa Clara. I'm beyond blessed and truly grateful for everything that I've experienced this weekend. From being called to choreograph and perform a praise dance to a medley of three songs for Friday night's LIVE LOUD, to taking over the second floor of the Broadway dorm building and having a spontaneous worship with a mob of brothers and sisters, to simply just seeing some old friends and making new ones and building a stronger bond with fellow members from my region, words alone can't even begin to describe how I feel right now and how I'm going to be feeling for awhile. All I can really say is that my faith has been immensely revived. However, it's not just my faith that has changed but rather I feel a change within myself as well. Just because conference is over doesn't mean that our mission of bringing others closer to Christ is finished too. Our mission is only beginning as our generation of youth is rising up to take our place. With our spiritual fire burning bright within us, our time is now, as for all things we do, we do it for Him. "I may not be able to physically stand, but with my faith I choose to stand by God." 🙏🙌😄 #ycon2014 #cfcyouth #cfcyrevival #blessed #proudtobecatholic
