Hello fellow church people! WOW! This is an amazing field trip!! We had an awesome ride down
here where we almost got pulled over by the police....oh well!!! When we got here we immediately ran to our rooms and within
five minutes Sydney, Cheyann, and I had our room in a state of disarray. It was completely girley-fied! :D We then left
to go eat dinner at Steak 'N Shake. Then we went to the first meeting at the Macon Coliseum. We stood outside in the
FREEZING cold for what felt like hours (more like 20 minutes but whatever). Finally we were allowed to go inside and
face the chaos within. Despite the 7,000 teenagers and youth leaders we made it to a seat and got settled. The lights
began to dim and we got out our glowsticks and opened our hearts to the spirit and the experience we were about to have.
We started out with a drumline and winterguard performance followed by Todd Agnew with many popular Christian song.
Then we practiced our glowstick choreography. Then Ed Newton spoke. He had a wonderful message, which he communicated
to us through relatable anecdotes and scripture, it was really greta because he had a great sense of humor and he didn't make
things boring. There were about 60 people saved! It was amazing and such a wonderful blessing! Later, David Crowder Band played
and it was a great concert like experience. We drove back to the hotel, ran upstairs and put on our pajamas. We meet back
in the lobby for snacks and a lively game of Catchphrase! Now i'm sitting here with David Graham and TJ finishing this up,
but i'm exhausted! So, hope you guys are having a great time up in North Georgia! Goodnight!! Love ya'll and God Bless!!

It was late last night before we went to sleep, but us old folks are hanging in with the youth.
Up at 6:00 am starting our morning and waking up the boys at 7:00am we ate breakfast at the hotel. We left the
hotel about 8:20am going to SuperWOW. One of the youth will be telling you about our morning. See you soon. David
ps the girls are doing great.
Hey Yall!!! It's out 'second' day here at YEC, and we are having a BLAST!!! We got up pretty early
this morning after a long night of hanging out and mysterious toilet flushings in the middle of the night. Pretty freaky huh?
:) Well anyways we got up this morning some of us more excited than others to be up so early and went downstairs to the
hotels wonderful breakfast. They had cereal, eggs, home made waffles, oatmeal, and some really good fruit! When we got to
the YEC confrence this morning we were all pretty excited to see what they had in store for us today. Yesterday was such an
amazing message with 109 kids accepting Christ into their lives, isnt that wonderful!!! Today was just as good we welcomed
back 'The Skit Guys' two guys that have been friends since high school worshiping in funny but eye opening
skits, these guys were great! The speaker today was Anson McMaughn, he was a wonderful speaker and i enjoyed hearing
all the things he had to say! He spoke so clearly to us and it was just great to hear. Todd and his band were back
today to lead us in worship and I will say that is definatly my favorite part. Thousands of teenagers
forgetting their troubles and singing praise at the top of their lungs hands in the are surrendering all to our
savior. God is truly touching lives here and this is an expierence that we will never forget. Were in our 'free time'
right now were just chillin out in between confrences, The rooms are so sweet! If the other bloggers didnt already say :)
Pretty soon our group is going to get together and discuss what weve seen and learned in the first two events. Even though
were having a blast down here I cant wait to get back share with everyone the MOVE that this trip is inspiring me to be more
passionate about. Sorry my blog was kind of scetchy and random but were having a great time at this unforgettable
event. Well love to all and God Bless Sydney Taylor<3
Rook is being played in the room Clark boys (TJ and Kasey) against Joyce and Sharon. James
Atkins is not here with us physically, but spiritually he is, his name keeps coming up how James plays, what James would do
followed by laughing.
Joe is catching up on his sleep and the rest of the kids are playing basketball or getting their
hair done (not the boys).
Well later on...we grabbed some Chik-fil-a(pretty delicious).After that we headed on down to the
evening session of YEC(which by way the is the coolest things i've been to in quite a while).Todd Agnew and the band was back
to lead us in some amazing worship.It's such an unforgettalbe experiance with the lights and all the people around you giving
their all to God.Also,one of my favorites were back-The Skit Guys.Their so funny with all the Godly teachings mixed in,it's
hilarious.
Ed Newton was back tonight with a powerful message of salvation.He is such a great speaker;with all
the relatable material you really can understand about what he's saying.Leeland,a band from Texas closed out the night with
an awesome preformance of praise and worship songs.A great ending to a great night.By the way, the hotel is awesome with all
the people you can meet and hangout with that are also here for YEC.Well good night ya'll talk to you in the morning.
