My happiest moment this year was when I went to a Youth Conference called YC and I gave my whole life over to Christ. Ever since Middle school and possibly a little before, I had always been depressed and kinda angry. I was always following my emotions never thinking anything through. This is something my dad had really been trying to press on me in the weeks before. That we can't always follow our feelings, but that we need to line our feelings up with what we also know to be true. I was never really able to truly understand this concept as I kept falling back into following my emotions only.
I wasn't going to be going to YC this year. I didn't have the money and I was seriously struggling with my feelings toward someone that was also going to be going. But, I had a 3DS back then and didn't really trust myself with the internet connection on it. Eventually I sold it because of the internet connection and I didn't really play it that much. Just as I decided I wanted to sell it and put it up on Kijiji, I got told that one of my friends who was suppose to be going wasn't going to be able to make it because of work. The day before we were suppose to be leaving for YC, I sold my 3DS, got the ticket, and got all of the information that I needed in order to go.
While we were at YC there was a speaker there who's name is David Nasser. He spoke about how giving your life to Christ and truly putting all of your trust in Christ are two different things. This really struck me because if I was truly giving my life to Christ, what have I to fear? Why was I still following my fear and anger and all of the other emotions? There was also a song that I heard while I was there. I described the whole situation perfectly. Because of what Nasser had to say, listening to that song, and seeing how everything worked together so perfectly in order for me to be able to go, I started putting my full trust into Christ while I was at YC and I swear, I have never had a happier experience.
Here is the song in case anyone is interested:
