| I'm at Valley Forge for the weekend and visiting with people, and it's been incredible. I missed my friends up here so incredibly bad- I haven't seen some of them since May. I know that's not a long time in the grand scheme of things, but dang. Considering I used to live within 30 seconds of some of them and see them everyday? Yeah, it's a long time.
Oh and uh. guess what. . .
I GOT MY NOSE PIERCED. Yeah we went to this place called Infinite in Philly, because 1) it's the cheapest Heather found, and 2) I know a couple people who've been there and enjoyed it. Sol Heather and I went off, her knowing she was getting hers pierced, and me saying "There is a very high chance I will chicken out." We were about to get off on the Broad St exit, and Heather goes "Wait, are we almost there?!" and proceeds to freak out for a few minutes. I enjoyed it. =P We got there, I watched her get hers pierced, and the girl didn't even flinch. Plus it was funny to watch, she had a curved needle sticking out of her nose for a second. =P And Heather will tell you herself, she has NO pain tolerance, I was holding her hand and she didn't even squeeze it. So I got mine done too! :o) I'm sooo happy I did, it was a quick pinch and then it was gone. It doesn't even hurt now; it itched at one point and if I scrunch my nose I can feel it, but it doesn't hurt at all. Thank God! Although the piercer was hoping we didn't touch them, and I touched mine like 8 times. Uugghhh. I just smacked it a few minutes ago, actually. Ah well, that's why I have the medicated anti-bac soap. =)
This weekend's pretty much the greatest ever. I was up until after 2 laughing with Jaimie and Jackie. Just like old times <3 | | |
| I just did Zumba, and sweet Lord. I don't think I've ever worked out that hard. . . Daaaang. . . | | |
| Today was pretty much amazing between God and I. . . No, seriously.
This evening at my church we had PowerSurge, which was an evangelist coming and preaching and talking about the Holy Spirit. There was actually an amazing turnout of like 600 people. They did an anointing afterwards and 2 dear friends of mine prayed for me at separate times. Essentially the call on my life to be a children's pastor has deepened more than I thought it would. The overall theme for today in my life was definitely "God working in my weakness."
I can NOT do this on my own.
I will fail if I try.
There's no way that I will ever be good enough.
However, God didn't ask for my own strength. He asked me to rely on His strength and let His glory come through. God is fully capable where I'm not. God's never expected me to be able to do this on my own.
I pretty much cried for an hour solid. It was good. Just me and God.
I kept having a vision of me in a long white dress, dancing to worship music, just me and God. It was pretty much amazing <3 | | |
| I'm starting my job today. I'm very nervous. | | |
| I feel like my life's going to kick into high gear in September.
I start my job September 8th, I'm going to start being a Rainbows teacher, aaaaand for some reason, I'm going to join the worship team for Mosaic (the 20's and 30's group at church).
Me? Worship team? BUUUHHHHHH!?!?!?!?!!? Yeah. Welcome to my world of surprise too. God's put it on my heart though and in my brain that I should sing on the worship team. The biggest reason I have so far from God? "Because you love to worship." Thaaaat's it. Yikes. I'm terrified beyond reason. Believe me, anyone who knows me can vouch for me when I say that I takes me a good 10 minutes to even THINK i might be ready to sing in front of someone.
Joining a worship team has never been on my agenda. That's how you know it's God's idea. Yowzas. . .
I feel like big, big things are going on in September. A good transition phase. :) SO excited. | | |
