Tonight @ Planet Impact we had an interactive experience called Journey to the Cross. We would love it if you would share what God did in your life by leaving a comment to this post. If you wouldn't mind signing your name, that would be great; but you don't have to.

Hello PK, great lesson wednesday! I loved that it was quiet. Like REALLY quiet! It was beautifully silent and had added reverence to Holy Week. Jesus showed how great it was to just sit and listen and have a talk with Him, nothing else.

Hey PK,
I thought the yg tonight was amazing. It was definitly different then anything else we have done but it was definitly a good something. God just basically told me I need to stop blaming myself for my brother, who my mom has talked to you about. It is a issue I struggle with on the daily basis and for a while now I have thought about the things I should have done and what I should be doing differently. Anyway God just told me I have to stop blaming myself that the issue my brother has isnt from anything that I have done. So tonight I was able to give the situation over to God again and hopefully this time I will be able to keep what God told me tonight on my mind and not forget. It was nice to have a quiet time with God.

tonight was really moving... it helped me see Christ, the crucifixion, his death, the cross all of the story in a different way. I sat next to Ian's mom and she said "put the nail on your palm and hold it down" so I did and she said "its just amazing what Jesus put himself through for you and I"... just looking at the rope and realizing that Jesus really could of avoided all of that pain and humiliation but his love for me and you is what kept him up there on the cross. I like also how you read about how the disciples must of felt after his death... the thought of all their hopes and dreams vanishing in a moment... tonight was awesome... really moving and i know a lot of students were touched and moved... and as you can see i think the kids liked it too... i've noticed that after really good nights nobody wants to go home and tonight was one of those nights (besides the fact that there is no school tomorrow... it was a really really good night!)

One of the most powerful things that my mom has ever told me is that: "Relationships are controlled by the person who loves the least". How incredibly true is this when it comes to us and God. What more-or-less went through my mind was the concept that by sinning, we tell God, "Even though You love me, you're going to have to die to make me love you", and God, without hesitation said, "Done".
None of us will ever love someone like that. None of us will ever be loved by a person like that. But all too often, we take this kind of infinite love for granted.
Along the same lines, I was talking to my friend Anthony last week. We were talking about the different ways that we treat people. When I'm with someone we don't really wanna hang out with, I'll text anyone and everyone to fill the dead air. When I'm with an okay friend, I'll respond to text messages I get, and take whatever calls come in. When I'm with a good friend or someone I consider to be important, I might look at my phone to see who texted me, and I might pick up the phone if it's someone important, but the majority of people will have to wait. But if I'm talking to a girl I'm crushing on, I could get phone calls from the Pope, Billy Graham, and Moses, and I won't care. My phone will keep ringing. So really, how important is that phone call I might pick up with the good friend, if I won't pick it up for my crush? And in what category does God come into? I don't answer my phone during devos, but I'll be frank in that I miss devos more often than I should. Even when I do have my devos and my phone rings, I might not answer it, but I sit there wondering who called most of the time. This is how I treat God, and I realized tonight really how insulting that is. I certainly wouldn't want to get treated that way, so on what basis does that become the proper way to treat God? Quite a convicting thought...
