At first I was dreading the bus ride, but it was much shorter than I expected. When we got there, it seemed like the whole area had a great atmosphere. The first night we had a meeting in the UT stadium, and it was amazing how many people were there. As the week progressed, I found that there were many different things that I wanted to experience. There were some interesting seminars, which were always thought provoking and often enlightening. Afterwards, there were so many things that I wanted to do. Different activities, ranging from bowling to pickup soccer games, were all very entertaining and provided possibilities to meet a lot of new people. At night there were concerts and then several speakers would give a message. Combined with all of this was some excellent time spent with the church group and some other people we met. CHIC was a fun experience for me, and I hope that everyone else can have a similar (or better) experience than I had.

All of the speakers were amazing, but Judy especially spoke to my heart. On tuesday night when we sat close to the stage on the floor was when God first started working on me. The message was about Jesus being no ordinary healer. As I went forward (with a friend) to kneel all the hurts and pain I;ve been through recently just be lifted! All I had to do was ask and God heard my prayers…

…the offering for the kids in Sudan was super cool. I gave what would have seemed like too much for me to give up before, but now i almost feel as if it wasn’t enough! Before CHIC my faith was off and on with its excitement, but now i know that’s not what i should be looking for… I feel very led into mission still, but now I know that i don’t have to fly all the way to South America to do God’s work! I gave up my actions to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and I’m so excited for the rest of my life because its already made a difference! …

…You better be ready for God to do some wonderful things through me because I sure am!”

For the sake of all the people in this video, let’s hope that this doesn’t apply to dorm-life at CHIC.

I viewed this week as if it was like any other church retreat—a chance to get away from home and chill out with some church friends. It wasn’t until the first night of main stage that I started to realize that this week wasn’t limited to just playing games and having fun with your friends; it was also about a chance to take a step further in our lives with Christ. Each night at main stage was organized a little differently. As music being a big part of my life both in worshiping, but also in my everyday life, I was able to see and experience that there are many different ways to worship God through music. Whether the type of music involves screaming at the top of your lungs, rapping, or simply mellow music, worship can be found through any form. The week of CHIC is an incredible experience that can’t be completely understood by listeners of these stories. CHIC gave me the opportunity to hang out with some close friends, meet some new friends, worship, and many more things.

And right then and there I broke down. (My friend) was worrying about me but I refused to tell her what was going on—good friend—but then when we were singing, I was still crying and it felt so good. I’ve never experienced a cry that felt good! After I came to realize it was me feeling the Holy Spirit (working) all around me and remembering when I feel like no one cares, Jesus loves me! OOO what a wonderful thought—to know that he is, has, and will always be there for me, just makes me and helps me to think I can do anything. Even though I don’t know if or when I’ll ever meet my dad, it’s not gonna bother me as bad…

I feel as if I am now ready for any of the challenges/tasks that the Lord wants me to do!”
