Glowing Heart

October 2011 Rainbow Hills Essay
by Kelsey Villarreal

This DNOW has truly been a blessing in my life. God has really just been moving in my life the past couple of years and I have gotten to experience His greatness. The greatest thing for me this week was just getting to see my peers experience His power and sweetness as well. I saw so many people that came to this DNOW, broken and confused and not knowing where to go, just break down and pour their hearts out to the Lord for the first time in a while.

Seeing others just love God and surrender to Him just encourages me so much and really lets me appreciate where I’m at with Him. I guess just because I know where they’re at, and where they’ve been and I’ve been there.

As a senior, God has really spoken to my heart about being more of a leader for the student body. I know that God is going to continue to move in our school, I truly believe that. I am so grateful for Glowing Heart. This is my 6th year at DNOW, and each and every year, God never ceases to amaze me with the things and hearts He changes.

Its bittersweet knowing this is my last DNOW, but I know that God has an amazing plan for my life. If it wasn’t for Glowing Heart, I probably wouldn’t be where I am with the Lord, so thank you. I may not know what exactly yet but I know He is just strengthening me and molding me until it is His time.

I am so thankful for each and every one of you. May the Lord bless you, and keep you always!
