I love the Hide the Word cds!!

I guess i have to start out this post with Sold out! God met with us in such a unique way! Such an intimate way. How merciful and kind of Him. He truly knit our hearts with the Riverside people in a way that I really cant understand. We love them so much, it is like they are apart of our own church. Like family! We have been able to hang out with them soooooo much after the conference which has been such a blessing as well. Usually after conferences you say you will still "keep in touch", but after a few weeks... often times, the communication fades- well not this time :). 

The messages from Sold Out were extremely encouraging. So much about how the Lord will give us grace to be- Sold out - for Him. So much about , Him finding us- and not leaving us in our sins- but saving us, and THEN choosing to have a relationship with us, to adopt us and make us His family! "We are the ones who usually find the treasure, but this time- the treasure found us, when we were not even looking for it or wanting it."- Adam G. So much about, what our treasure should be, not matter what riches that may call out to us or lies that we may sink back into. So much about figuring out how to keep our eyes focused on gaining the TRUE treasure (Phil.3:4-11. ) So much about, figuring out how to not let the "spiritual adrenaline" fade after the conference, ("Can't rely on Him 'zapping us' at these conferences 2 or 3 times a year. We need to continually, daily, pursue Him." - Brian B.) but keeping it going- day in and day out; pressing on!! Phil. 3:12-14.  "We need to forget what is behind. We can't live off yesterdays successes and we can't live off of yesterdays failures."- Adam G.  We need to focus on the present, need to strain forward. "Your never going to drift into Godliness"- dad.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it was so good!!!!! Here's the link to the sermons and stuff, if you have some free time listen to them! http://www.rcfonline.org/podcast/category/youth-conference/ . Adam's was one of my favs.
