+ ABOUT
Jambo my name is Zoya and I blog for me.

Friday:

  • Rushed packed - again.
  • Vivian is such a sweet girl. During the car ride she was making a card for her cousin. AND SHE WAS MAKING SUCH A MESS ASFGHJKL THIS GIRL.
  • I actually fell asleep during the mountain road part of the drive so there were no freakouts. LOL Kyle is a surprisingly good driver. 
  • Got to the site. The site was really nice and we went around posting up the rules in each cabin. LOL THERE WERE NICE HUTS. And me and Ray went to some cabins and we weren’t sure if they were for ROLCC and there was already stuff in there and we looked through their stuff and it was all white people stuff and we see 2 white guys walk out of the cabin next to it and it was awkward lolololol
  • IT’S COLD UP THERE DANG
  • ok anyways, by the time we got around to setting up the registration tables and stuff, it was already dark outside so we organized all 212 name tags in the dark.Chris and Nathan had matching hoodies.
  • They had “royal restrooms” LOL 
  • And then we waited. Outside. In the dark. It was cold. LOL It was ok though. The first wave came and it wasn’t that bad except I forgot to mark down some people…..oh well?
  • The next 3 waves were better. Except the 2nd and 3rd bus came at the same time and it was crazy.
  • We finished & packed up and finally had dinner in the tabernacle. 
  •  COUPLE PICTURE <3
  • Session 1 was awesome of course. (More below)
  • I think everyone was pretty pooped from the long week and the sound system was being ghetto. LOL PHILIP TOLD US LATER THAT DURING WORSHIP HE HAD TO LITERALLY WHACK THE SOUNDBOARD PERIODICALLY IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK HAHAHAHAHAHA
  • No campfire because we started/ended late. 
  • Snack time and then bedtime. I kind of did my own thing and just went on a walk/explored the creek/gazed at the stars (LOL) by myself. It was nice. 
  • Went back to my cabin and KOed. I was in the same cabin as Kristen, Daphne and Shirley :)
  • OH YEAH and during registration, tons of people were going up to me calling me philosopher……… ALVIN/JACK/SAM/MADDIE WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO

SESSION 1 NOTES (Tony Kim):

  • “Holiness is both instant and a process.” - Kris Vallotton
  • So some of the stuff he was saying was very similar to what I learned at Jesus Culture last last week. 
  • If you believe that you’re a sinner, you’re always going to sin. If you believe that you’re a saint, you’re always wanting to do good. 
  • We live from Earth to Heaven when we should be living from Heaven to Earth.
  • If you have temptations, it means that you are free. Why would Satan bother tempting you if you were chained up? He’s tempting you with something that you already have. 
  • You are not judged anymore because Jesus has already been judged. You are not punished because Jesus has already been punished. 
  • Repentance means to change the way you think.
  • Courage becomes infectious. 

There were so many similarities from what I learned at Jesus Culture and what I learned at this retreat. No joke.
