quote of the day:
What about me? Am I still in that 'I can't believe it's not butter' state?
- a really freaky guy on aol -
if i get any more God in my weekends, im going to need an extra day.
friday night i went to what i thought was going to be a praise and worship concert at my friend nicole's church.
well, that was part of it anyway. a local band called strangers and pilgrims played. then, there was pizza, my third time to eat pizza that day, and guys with bows and arrows and a dance contest and preaching and some more praise music.
i had a really good time, saw some people that i hadnt seen in a while. it was awesome, especially the praise time.
saturday was basically a lazy day. i did some cleaning and mostly sat around all day until around 5:00.
then, vance and i went to kindred. i love that store. i cant go in there without spending at least thirty dollars. i was in there on monday and spent about $30 on two cd's, then i spent about $35 on saturday buying a cd and two books. i bought the next two books in the left behind series, and vance bought the two after that in the series. one day, we'll have a complete set between us.
after that, we went to bible study at johns house. i had been looking forward to bible study and drama practice all week. we had worship for well over an hour before we began studying. so incredibly awesome. i love worship. love it, love it, love it.
anyway, we read in the book of acts. such a great book. we read a little and discussed a lot.
it was getting late and people had to leave, so we prayed and ended. praying in a group like that is so cool. (i really need to expand my vocabulary. the only adjectives that i know are cool and awesome.)
anyway, church was good on sunday. in sunday school we studied noah. after all, they are only 7th graders. the worship service was about what its like to truly be saved. andy preached because brother gary had some kind of virus. having a virus just sounds really bad, doesnt it?
anyway, practice was good as well. it didnt start off very well, but once we refocused and prayed it went well. we video taped most of the dramas to put on our demo video. then, nicole edited the video for us. we took it with us to give to joy so that she could give it to her youth pastor. confused yet? me too. anyway, we're trying to plug the group.
we took the video with us to church that night to show to our youth pastor. he liked it. he asked us to perform next wednesday.
wow. this from the man, that wasnt exactly thrilled with the idea of vance starting this group to begin with. maybe he was impressed that we actually stuck with it this long. or maybe he was impressed with the dramas themselves. who knows, but God is awesome. we're supposed to get our t-shirts tomorrow, and there's a chance that we will be getting them for free. again, God is awesome.
sunday night we continued with our study of the book of revelation. we read about the first six scrolls. next week is the last week, so we are supposed to summarize the rest of the book.
told you it was a God filled weekend. i love it. vance said something like, "i need all of God that i can get in my life right now." i whole heartedly agree with that statement.
the closer i get, the more overcome with emotion i become. more and more lately i have felt the need to cry, and have even had to wipe away a few tears from my eyes. the tears come for different reasons. they come because of the joy that i have in knowing that i am going to heaven when i die. they come because of my understanding of how much my God loves me. they come because of how much i realize that i dont even begin to deserve that love.
anyway, i love it, and cant get enough of it.
i have the strangest dreams of anyone that i know. well, everyone except melissa.
sunday night i had a dream that i was dating a prostitute.
i was at some kind of summer camp at the beach somewhere and it was over. we were having our final meeting and i was sitting next to this gorgeous girl. before i knew it, she was rubbing my leg while this meeting was going on.
after that, we talked and flirted and hung out and stuff. i was really happy because i had found someone.
the next day i was in that place that you always see in the movies and in books. its like a green field in the middle of nowhere with some ruins from some ancient civilization or something. melissa said that its called stonehedge or something like that. i dont know, i'll take her word.
anyway, i was there just standing around, doing some thinking. then, this chics friend came up to me and hugged me and started talking to me. i think we were friends.
she said, "my sister is in *love* with you."
'really?'
"yeah, but you know that she's a prostitute, right?"
ummm, i had no idea that she was a prostitute. then, i had to make the decision whether to keep dating her or not.
i thought that it wasnt that big of a deal, and she was so fine anyway. so, i decided to keep dating her. then, we were galavanting around these ruins, and then i woke up.
my subconscience is a really screwed up thing. i know this. there's nothing i can do about this one.
anyway.
lets see what else. i still hate my job and cant wait to get out of there. nothing more than casual flirting at work still. went to see jennifer tonight at dance. didnt really get to talk to her, but i left her a note on her call to call when she gets home because i had something to ask her. i doubt that she will call. oh, and i found out that a friend of mine may be pregnant.
good night, huh?
i thought so.
