I was on a trip for a Young life leadership retreat a few weeks ago and experienced a renewal and kenosis. We were asked to go out for prayer and to just spend some alone time with God. I had been working on trying to produce lyrics for a song that I am writing and I was praying in a quiet place by a lake. I felt like something was coming over me to write down and when I was writing down things they didn't seem right. As soon as I felt this I was emptied of everything that I had thought. There was a renewal that took place as I was overwhelmed with different emotions. It felt like God was telling me to forget the words I wanted to write and use what He was giving me. It was a great feeling. I loved the experience and it changed my view on things.
