THIS IS REAL

1/30/99

Today, was ... unexplainable. I was wondering if God would show up and unite the Teens. I was starting to doubt it until testimony time. People talked and then Jeff E. spoke. I listened to him because he was hurting and I wanted to know if things were alright. As he spoke, he began to cry and somehow, by the grace and love of God, a lot of us began to cry. I started to cry and I didn't know why either. I just felt pain and hurt for him. C ouple minutes later, many of us were crying. We were on our knees, feeling worthlessness...I listed to them and it was like a funeral, the cry was so immense and intense. It seemed like a long time of the crying. The next thing I remember Gideon coming up to me and we started to pray in a group. Fred, Tim, Jen, Gideon, Young, and some other people were in the group. I started to...feel better and I looked up. It was an amazing sight. Everyone were in groups, praying, crying, including the 7th graders which surprised me. We prayed again and I got up and started to hug people. I hugged all the people I saw crying and hugged Dorothy, Maria, Easten, Fred and so many more. Our prayers of unity was answered!! Thank God! There certainly is a God! This is something I'll never forget! For once, I felt the whole 144++ people were like family, united. Words really cannot express the sense I had of God! The image of tonight may fade and I'm afraid of that. I don't want to forget this experience!!! It was wonderful. Our prayers were answered.

THIS IS REAL!!!
