**Scicon 2009**

Amazing. Simply Amazing. We just got back from Scicon this Sunday and words cannot describe the awesome things God did on that mountain! Our legs are sore, we're exhausted and oh SO thankful for our clean shower, but God did GREAT things!! It was truly a life changing weekend!

Bro. Saregent preached an awesome message on Sunday morning titled "Don't Die in Place". He spoke about how so many times we as Christians make mistakes and think that we might as well lay down and "die" (spiritually speaking) in that place. We loose motivation to fight towards the calling God really has on our lives because we are hung up on our failures in the past.

One quote from the message that really got our attention was this: "You can't get stuck between your past and your promise". Too many times we make mistakes and dwell on them, never getting past what we "could have done" or "should have done" and we miss the promise. God has a divine will for each of our lives, all we have to do is be willing to give everything to Him, INCLUDING our past! He wants so badly to turn the ugly failures of life into beautiful testimonies of His grace and mercy!

So, now we are home refreshed and revitalized! The past is on the mountain and we are moving forward to the promise! God is making Himself more and more real to us everyday in our home, church and lives. We serve a limitless God and there is NO telling what He is going to do next!!!

It was also really good to spend time with friends we don't get to see very often and to make a few new ones! This was by far the GREATEST camp yet and we can't wait to see what God is going in the weeks, months and years to come!!!

Enjoy the pics!!
