Blogging the NYG - Post #3

DAY ONE RECAP

The 2010 National Youth Gathering officially kicked off last night with the Opening Celebration at the Superdome. That stadium truly was the home of the "saints" as 25,000 youth and adults gathered to sing and praise God. What an amazing event! The worship music was powerful and filled with energy. The "Sand Painter" was phenomenal. The speaker was inspirational and his message was one filled with hope and promise. The evening seemed to center on the question: "Why has God brought you to this place?" And in our family group time we dove deeper into that thought. What reasons does God have for bringing you here this week. Is it something more than just time spent with friends or a fun vacation? What amazing thing is God's Spirit working in you? I can't wait to see those amazing things this week. I can't wait to see the power of God working in the youth gathered here. I can't wait. God is awesome and I think we all felt that last night! - Andy
