I started out the NYC week not really knowing what to expect...not really looking forward to it actually because the group going from my church weren't that close...Everything was going wrong, the two tracks I wanted were both filled so I just Stuck with Multiple Topics. At NYC all of that changed. Everyone from our group met with God more than once that week...which brought us all closer. On a personal note, I truly met with God and it was incredible. I left realizing that before, I didn't even start to begin to realize how big and glorious God really is.

The Night of David Crowder our district was on the floor of the dome. That was the night that they asked everyone to stand up and individually say "I CHOOSE TO FOLLOW GOD!!!" See everyone do that and knowing how everyone had come from all walks of life and completely different stories...but ALL of us in that dome at that moment were making a person dedication that we would not live to the worlds expectations anyone was probably one of the most amazing moments and I will not soon forget.

As a whole I can truly say that God was there...not once...not twice...but ALL THE TIME!!!!!!

I will never forget my experience at NYC, I did not leave on a "mountain top experience" with God...but I did leave changed...forever.
