-Passion 2020-

---

Okay, I know this is way overdue… but I am here to spill the tea about PASSION 2020!!

The Tea

For those of you who don’t know what the Passion conferences are, Passion is a Christian young adult gathering where you worship together and listen to amazing speakers talk about God! It was so spiritually fulfilling! For 2020 we counted down to midnight and celebrated the new year at the Mercedes-Stadium which is where it was being held. God worked so hard in that week leading up to passion and my time at passion. From providing a way to get a friend to attend, to blowing my mind with every lyric sung, it was such an incredible experience. The trip itself was so much fun, my whole family went so I got to experience Georgia with my family after Passion and just enjoy being away from life. Being able to disconnect and only focus on God and my loved ones was so refreshing.

OH also! I planned my passion outfits like almost a month before and I was pretty proud of my fashion. Here are the pictures I took of them and the contents of each outfit!

I also had a Passion/Georgia to-do list which I was able to check off all but one! So I feel pretty accomplished. 😌

-Things to buy-

• Georgia Thimble (I collect thimbles if you didn’t know)

• Something at Passion (I bought my first Jesus Bible!)
• Alex and Ani Georgia bracelet (That I didn’t get around to) 🙁

-Things to do-

• Take a picture of every outfit (which I did hehe) ^
• Go antiquing (I did and it was so much fun)
• Have Georgia coffee or beverage. (Which I did and it was very yummy)

• Take A LOT of pictures in general (Which I did..)

Overall, from the trip itself to worshiping with the most talented artists, it was an incredible experience. I loved every second of it with my amazing family and I can’t wait for many more years of Passion to come.

Now that all of that is out of the way! I’m going to veer off from the tea and my trip experience to show you something I wrote in a time of reflection at passion. This is a shift in gears so bare with me.

Breakthrough

Experiencing Passion for the first time with my friends and family I had a breakthrough. My soul was downcast. I was stuck in a place that I felt like I couldn’t escape. A place where I knew God was there and I knew he was watching me but there was a God-sized hole in my heart that was hard to fill. I couldn’t feel his presence, I couldn’t feel his hands around me like I used to. Was there something I was missing? Were my thoughts of everything in the past blocking my only way of feeling God? When I entered the stadium it was like inhaling the most refreshing air. I felt his presence again. I don’t have to suffer anymore. I don’t have to sulk in my past mistakes or hardships. I can breakthrough because I know I love God, and I know he loves me too even when I can’t feel Him. His love is greater than the walls that caged me into a box that restricted His presence in my life. His love is greater than my past. It’s time to say goodbye to 2019 and all the years prior and say hello to the future. Say hello to new experiences, new hardships, and new ways of seeing God work in my life and transform me into exactly what he wants me to be. Come at me 2020, I have God bending down from Heaven to help me. Thank you Passion 2020, until next year. – A 🙂
