Day 2 inner struggle, Gods plan, healthy healing

We started off the day listening to a good and long time friend Ben Kerns, he was my (Tim) old youth pastor who got things started and really introduced me to the love of Jesus. It was great to hear from him and even catch up over lunch. Later we heard from Mark Yaconelli, who has written many books and has done a lot of work with youth ministry as a whole. He spoke of living Jesus through our acts and reflecting on whats inside. We also heard from the widely known Miles McPherson who spoke of finding truth and the grace of God through our struggle and pain. Both speakers were very interesting. I (Tim) have always been a skeptic of natural healing through God but early on in this trip I was overcome with ear pain. Not just a little old ear ache but a crippling pain that went through my head and into my eyes. I was virtually deaf and it made it hard to see, through prayers and a true surrender to God I awoke this next day with no pain, no sorrow and a comfort that I truly never felt. God is good and through surrender and open hearts HIS work is reveled. We have much more to learn and will continue to check in throughout this trip.
