I really wish I could be in one Na one day, and I have a dream of one day having a ministry like Na in Brazil, my people need it as much as the Americans. I'm glad that God has blessed you that much there, keep looking up.<BR/>Filipe NielFilipe Nielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646003465369299390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-87721540548334580042007-06-01T09:37:00.000-05:002007-06-01T09:37:00.000-05:00When I first started attending our church, people ...When I first started attending our church, people did worship in a different way than I was used to. Some people would just sing, then you have the clappers and just a step above that you have the hand raisers and prayers! It did take some getting used to, but I found that when I stopped looking around at what everyone else was doing and just focused on worshiping God, it really did not matter. Slowly my hands would raise and after a while, it became natural. I often close my eyes while I sing and I really feel like it is just me and God. I have truly found the meaning of the word "worship". Everyone has their own way to worship God and the important thing, however you choose to worship, is that it comes from your heart.hartgirlieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024818724039802594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-585627212784085662007-05-31T07:47:00.000-05:002007-05-31T07:47:00.000-05:00Na, which stands for New Attitude, has been a conf...Na, which stands for New Attitude, has been a conference for singles since '99, I think. It was opened up for newly married couples this year. I had never heard of it, either, probably because it isn't as attended at T4G and other conferences. But it was a great experience and I felt younger by the end of it, so I would like to go again next year with Dan!Donettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695632521945765772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-10326707250095713612007-05-30T21:56:00.000-05:002007-05-30T21:56:00.000-05:00Just curious, what does Na mean? :)Just curious, what does Na mean? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-36626702094458069422007-05-30T20:47:00.000-05:002007-05-30T20:47:00.000-05:00I am so eager to hear what you learned.

Feel free to summarize and give the essence of what you learned. That's what I try to do when I know I can't possibly remember all the details. I'm sure it will be very encouraging.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, it was like college again talking to you. Remember that I noticed your cool "Freak" shirt and I asked if it was DC Talk? That made us instant friends -- no-one else knew who they were! (Just kidding)<BR/><BR/>Hope it's good to be back with the kiddos. I'll be praying that your everyday walk will be enhanced because of your refreshed spirit.<BR/><BR/>~GretGretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485310328441248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-90819120295529639632007-05-30T10:50:00.000-05:002007-05-30T10:50:00.000-05:00You're right, Tim, there were plenty of "older" pe...You're right, Tim, there were plenty of "older" people there, and besides, I look 20ish ;), so I'm sure I didn't attract too much negative attention!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment and all you do on your blog. I have benefitted from it on many occasions. Keep up the great work and I'll look for you at the next conference.

But we still enjoyed it! There were enough people there in their late 20's or early 30's that we didn't feel too badly out of place!<BR/><BR/>TimTim Challieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111279334163518285noreply@blogger.com
