Day 6 – Homeward Bound
Breakfast on the run today - chicken on a biscuit and you’d
better find some liquids. The final praise and worship featured new songs the
students learned this week from The Hardcastles. The message was from Joshua 4 describing the
memorial the Israelites were commanded to prepare using stones from the Jordan River. The stones were to be a reminder to future
generations of God’s deliverance from the bondage in Egypt. Students were
reminded to mark events of God’s provision in their life and to reflect on
these to strengthen their faith.
After a quick wrap up with counselors they finished stuffing
all those dirty and clerty clothes into their sleeping bag or pillow, sweep up
the Nerds under the bed, and hop on the bus.
Students struggled to stay awake long enough to get cell reception as
they reentered civilization. Arriving at
the church, the group had an eerie zombie resemblance as they awoke from the
first REM sleep of the week.
An eventful week that changed those who made the journey –
Keep the memory fresh.
