Abbey Youth Fest

The Abbey Youth Fest was a great experience. Being outside under the sun made me feel closer to God. I seemed to forget that I was getting a third degree sunburn and felt open to the messages that He was trying to get across to me. It wouldn't have been the same if it had been held inside. And the crowd was one unified body, a youth in hope for a brighter tomorrow. It made me feel that we can make a difference in this big world, if we only come together. We are not alone in this journey to Heaven. The Abbey Youth Fest gives you a chance to meet people from all over the south who are on the same path as you. Or if you feel alone in your life, it gives you a sense of direction. I grew closer to God through music, the words of amazing speakers, and the people I was surrounded by. I hope everyone will get the chance to go next year.
