wow...I know this is kind of late, but I just have to tell you guys about this weekend...it was SO awesome!
I spent the night w/ Emily saturday night after blanket theatre which was an experience right there.
It all began when we were watching Pirates of the Carribean, and I honestly don't know what came over me but I decided to squirt some water on the guy in front of me, completely just messing around and caught up in the moment...he turns around and goes who the f*** just did that, was it you, as he looked straight at me! oh crap..I was like yes and I felt terrible, have any of you guys ever gotten that feeling that you want to go back two seconds before and change it, but of course God has everything happen for a reason.
So I didn't talk to anyone the entire way home, and when we got to Emily's house I finnally told her what was bothering me, and she cheered me up, I could not have done anything about it then so what was the point of beating myself up with it then? So I finnally got some sleep.
The next morning I wake up with Emily, and we go to the morning service, which was awesome it made me begin to think, because we have to get out of our comfort zone at some point, and this generation in which I live, is going to be the leaders of this country not that far away. It scares me to death. I just sit in my classes at school, and I see the way that people are treating the teachers, and the music they listen to, the way they treat their parents, the way they carry themselves, the way we speak to each other, and the way we treat our God. What is going to happen to us? Are we ever going to grow up?
Then we went on to a Sunday school type class for single parents in which Emily's family was sharing their testimony. I figured that this would be fine, but God had a totally different plan. My parents are not divoriced, or having marital problems, but that wasn't what God had planned to reveal to me. Mr. Steve had a very tough time going through the divorice, and he wasn't even able to go to church and feel accepted, there was one exception though.
He was standing at the back, and Carl turned around and slaps the chair next to him motioning for Mr. Steve to come and sit by him. From that moment on they became great friends. I personally have not been here, but Mr. Steve began to discribe the 5th floor of the court house. You can not see the elevator, or anything, all you can hear is the ding of the door each time someone arrives. A knife dug through his chest every time he heard that ding, was it the CPS, the judge, his lawyer, her lawyer. Ding. As he hears foot steps approaching, he looks around the corner and here comes his friend Carl. This brought tears to every eye in the room.
God just revealed to me how much Emily means to me, I know that not everyone is as lucky as I am to have a wonderful christian friend that they can rely on completely. Thank you so much God!
The whole way home from church we listened to Christian music, and I looked in the front seat to see Emily balling! Of course seeing that I start crying as well, God was definitley with us. For about the next two hours all we could do was worship God and everything that he has done. He is SO wonderful!
We then return to IBC for youth, and I was looking for the "water guy" to apoligize, and of course I could not find him. During youth we discussed the Wedding of the Lamb, and the "Battle" of Armageddon. As we are walking out I spotted him, told Emily to wait and did what I had to do. Of course just as Emily had said he would, he had forgotten, but was very happy that I had remembered and thought of his feelings.
I guess that you could say that I have a difficult conscience.
After all of this there was a Caedmon's Call concert, which was a wonderful way to end this eventful weekend!
Thanks to you guys who stuck around to read it ALL! Ya'll mean a lot to me!
