Kairos

I just got back from Kairos and honestly, it was awesome. I learned not to judge anyone. I learned to love girls who I had previously judged. I learned that everyone has a story that is worth hearing. I learned that God is love and you find love in the relationships that you have and the positive influences in your life.

Before the retreat really doubted my faith. Now, I just learned that faith is about the relationships you have and the attitude you have about life. Living your life with positive influences will bring positive things to life.
