Do Hard Things

Have you heard about the youth retreat?

Twenty-one of us drove to the D.C. area on Friday night, where we enjoyed a hotel stay and played "Marco Polo" and "Sharks and Minnows" in the pool. Ani, Noelle, and Ben were almost impossible to capture, so if you're a shark you might as well just give up.

Although "giving up" isn't much in the spirit of the conference we attended on Saturday...

The battle cry of the Rebelution conference was "Do Hard Things." The rebellion in mind is against low expectations for teens. It was a conference led by teens, for teens, though the actual message ultimately centered around the entire family.

But why try to describe it when you can see for yourself? Visit www.therebelution.com and check it out. There's a blog and a variety of resources there to help you learn about something wonderful God is doing in the lives of youth around the nation. And in God's grace He has allowed our youth to take a part as well.
