RESET and RENEWED FAITH – Courtney’s Story

I’m one of those types of girls that has always gone to church. Always. I was raised in the church where my mom works. My dad went there before he left, and we stayed because it’s the only Lutheran church around and my mom is the secretary. So my story isn’t too exciting. I wasn’t revived from drugs last night at Winterjam or anything. I was just a normal girl listening to some awesome bands… I’d always been surrounded by faith. I know all about our doctrine, I mean, being in my third year of confirmation it’s hard not to, but I was never really IN the faith.

But last night there was something different. Listening to Nick and everyone at the concert was a revival. With every beat that reverberated through me from the music I felt God in a way that I never had before. I still don’t know what he’s telling me, because I’m a bad listener, but last night for the first time I knew he was there. He had a palpable presence in that giant room, and knowing that I felt it renewed me more than anything else ever has.
