So to kick off my follow up posts here are a few pictures I snapped on the first day:
You can tell from Lindsay's face alone how excited we were to be on our way to Life!
Sarah, Rachel and Me at the first of three rest stops we made on the six hour sweltering bus ride to Kentucky
First meal of the trip: Chinese Buffet
By the time we got to the hotel, we were all (mostly) energetic, excited for the conference to start! We barely had gotten situated in our rooms when we were shuttled out to the Louisville Expo Center (below) for the first night of Life!
Imagine 6,500 high school students and leaders all packed into a giant arena (not unlike the Melon Arena) all listening intently for the word of God. That awestruck feeling is exactly what I felt like during the first session. The Logan Martin Band (album below) led worship and Jason Ostrander (the dude in charge of all of the CMA Student Ministries in the country) kind of gave us an introduction to the next 4 days of Life.
Stay tuned! Because tomorrow you'll find out all about the second day of Life, where Francis Chan speaks to us about Creation, I go to a Bradley Hathaway seminar on creativity, eat lunch with 6,000 people for the first time and tons more.
Until then,
Sema
