Missing my kairos girls already #kaihigh
Just got back from kairos and truly all I can say is wow. Like the most amazing experience of my life honestly I miss it so much already it was so amazing like words can't even begin to describe how ethereal it was #k136 group 1? More like group fun frick yeah
My level of Kai-high right now is so unreal. The last four days were perfect. So blessed I got to experience this retreat twice!
Can I please go back to bergamo? Kairos was too amazing
i'm back!
well technically i got back from my retreat yesterday and just haven't been on tumblr.
Kairos was honestly the best thing i have ever experienced and by far the best retreat i have ever gone on.
if it wasn't confidential i would tell you guys everything, but it's so hard to even fathom into words. Even if it wasn't confidential, i don't think i could form the correct sentences to do it justice. the only thing i can say is that you got out of Kiaros what you put into it and i put my whole heart into it and got exactly that much plus more out of it.
I've never felt like this before, like i'm part of a community that cares about me. I've never felt so close to God before. I've never felt like i've actually known myself until now.
i don't know how long this "kaihigh" will last but i must admit, i'm feeling really fucking great.
i've learned a lot through this experience and 1 is that i don't need to quite come back to tumblr yet. I know i said before i left that there's a good chance i'll be coming back and staying, but i just don't feel that connection anymore.
From Tuesday afternoon through Friday Afternoon, i didn't have my phone, internet, Tv, tumblr, or the radio and i was so beyond happy. since, coming back, i don't feel that need to be using any of those things right now. once again, i don't know how long this will last, but i'm not leaving tumblr forever. oh gosh no.
i'm going to have a queue going like before, and i'm going to come back soon. This haitus is just going to be longer than we all thought. i'm sorry!
I've also learned that God isn't some superior being who's too good to be a part of my life. I know i've made a lot of mistakes, more than i count on all my fingers and all my toes but if anyone understands me better than myself, it's God and He'll always be there for me. With that being said, having a relationship with God is like a friendship with any other person in my life. I have to nourish it. It's not going to come easy and it takes time and attention. And i've learned that the relationship is something worth fighting for.
another thing i've learned is that first impressions don't define the person. People are the way they are for a reason (well most people). It's hard to not judge someone when you first meet them but one of the things i learned at kairos is to remove those judgments. Everyone was put on this planet for a reason, and more importantly everyone in your life was put there for a reason too and i firmly believe that there's a lesson in there somewhere. I've learned so much about the people that were in my group and i honestly think of them as my second family. They will always have special place in my heart even though we've only truly known each other for a few days.
Kairos II
Long Live Group 3.
Live the Fourth.
~This experience was a true blessing and i will never forget the lessons i've learned and the people i've grown to love.

I am really honored that i got to be a part of the 1st ever Bishop Ireton Kairos Retreat! Honestly, it was amazing! I wish I could explain it...but I can't...not because it's supposed to be a "secret" or anything like that. But simply because, Kairos isn't something you explain...it's something you experience. You, yourself, can only understand it once you've been through what Kairos has to offer, and if you're open to it-it turns out to be a most wonderful experience.
I hope that anyone who reads this will try to go on a Kairos retreat, or if your school doesn't have one-try to implement it somehow.
p.s. I know it may sounds annoying hearing all these people talk about kairos, but really be open to it-don't dismiss it.
