(Note: this blog was pretty much… but not completely… stolen from Kige. Yea, I guess I have turned into a blog thief. My bad! You should still read/ watch it though. For real.)

So, in Ireland this year, we O-squad-ers had the honor and blessing
to be able to take part in the “Awakening,” which is a spiritual retreat/ conference of sorts where all of the squads on the field were
able to come together in one place. We worshiped, we laughed, we
learned, we cried, and I can tell you, it was probably one of the most stretching yet most profound moments of the race for me. God did a whole lot in my life and I learned about and experienced new levels of His Spirit. LEGIT. There in
Ireland. Halfway across the world.

Well, the good news, is that the next Awakening is going to be
happening in the good ole US of A this year… woo! I think everyone should go. Just
sayin.
 
Here is a promo video that The World Race put out about last year’s
Awakening. Enjoy. 🙂
