Weekend.

This weekend was a great one for sure. Sunday morning I woke up and did various things involving getting ready for church. I was actually at home saturday night so I drove up sunday morning. My parent's had gone to the nine o'clock service and I always go to the eleven. (For obvious reasons .. zZzZ) lol. On the way to church I was talking on the phone to mom and we passed each other going opposite ways on the interstate. They waved hysterically and made me laugh so hard! They are so great. But anyways .. sunday was an amazing day. I got to church and it was "Volunteer Weekend" .. and every person who volunteered in some area of the church wore a lanyard. It was amazing to see the hundreds of people that it takes to make things happen. I wore a lanyard to represent KidStuff. I am an actor in the kidstuff theatre skits. I didn't want to wear more than one, but also wanted to represent being a part of the college/career ministry. Those are the two big ones in my life. Before I went into the sanctuary, I talked to tons of various friends and weaved my way through the crowd towards the auditorium. Then I got an invitation to a celebration picnic for all the KidStuff people. I think God was using all of this to show me that my life does have significance, and I saw it even though I wasn't searching for it at the moment. But we all want to feel accepted. When I made my way up to the front couple of rows where all of my friends sit, a friend of mine said that she had something for me after church. She had made me a cross-stitch with lyics on it from a favorite song of mine. I was so blessed by it. It was so carefully and intricately made. It just goes to show that God can use any of our giftings to bless others. After church was the monthly college/career mix. Lots of fun there hanging out, and I even made a new friend. After all that, I went to my good friend Becca's apartment. She and I basked in the sun on her deck and talked for hours about both lighthearted and serious issues. I need that in my life. After that was h2o .. the last one i might add. Tear tear. :'(. But I am WAY excited for the things to come with this ministry. After h2o I hung out with friends downtown, then to Becca's with Megan, Sarah, and Jason and then eventually went back to Casey and Jade's and stayed the night. Fun times. I got up at about 7 this morning and came back home. I proceeded to work 10 hours today and am now exhausted! But in a good way if that makes any sense. Today I got to read the Word and write some thoughts and prayers down before work. I wanted to face today with a heart full of praise for this great God that I serve. My love for Him is growing every day. If I weren't so tired I may have written this better, so I apologize for the poor sentence structure and grammatical errors that I'm sure are in here. Until next time..
