Oh my gosh! I cannot believe that it is already Wednesday.. Time has flown by this year. My small group has been amazing! And I have been able to connect with everyone really well. Key Note and worship are fantastic. I am looking forward to what the rest of the week has to offer for me. Today we had our free afternoon. I got to spend my time rock hopping and going to Black Mountain. I thought I would come into Montreat for my second year and expect what was going to happen. But, I was wrong.. This year has been so different then last year. And it is only getting better. I love Montreat!

My week so far has been crazy awesome! I meant to do a blog yesterday night, as that was one fantastic day. But, by the time I got around to that, it was almost midnight, so I didn’t have time. 
So now, I’m finally blogging! This year, instead of normal small group, I am participating in the Jeremiah Project. It’s a new and different experience mainly because all of the members of this group spend a lot of time participating in worship. This will be my fourth year at Montreat, but I don’t think I’ve ever realized how much effort and teamwork is poured into every single keynote and worship service. Now I have had a taste of it. Since Monday, I have been in a keynote skit, talked about spiritual practices in keynote, read a liturgy, and been in a worship processional and a body prayer of confession. Yesterday, I got to sit on the front and center row at worship. The sermon was even better from up there. (It was great already.) Tonight I was sitting in the very back. I have to show up early for worship and keynote. Everything is somewhat hectic, but it’s so new and so interesting. And today is only Wednesday….crazy. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings!
