To all who want to know how to bribe your way into my love:
This is definitely the stuff to get me.
I also found out today that I love helping lead worship. I have never been brave enough to sing with a mic in hand and especially in front of other people but I actually ended up really enjoying it. It was so fun to hang out with some friends and junior high ladies and praise God :)
So I am all moved in and now am in the process of nesting.
Nesting: -verb (used without object)to settle in or as if in a nest.
My first night was honestly really rough for me. It felt like I was in someone's guest bedroom but somehow they got ahold of all my stuff and put it in there for me (talk about a creepy welcome). I also have never been homesick before so I had NO idea how to handle such a thing so I of course called Matt (at two in the morning mind you, bless his heart) and he came over and brought me ibuprofen to calm me down.
I have found myself a winner ladies and gentleman!
So after a few days of being here I have really come to be quite comfortable here but to feel complete I need to nest. I need to make this space my own and although all my things are here I feel I need to do more to make myself comfortable in this room. So I have a decoration project on my hands and I am really excited about it. The thing is that I can't paint or remove the boarder on the wall (its Craig Massie's old room and has a sports pattern on it. Farthest thing from my personality as you can get) so I need to find a good way to cover it up without damaging anything or spending a lot of money. I love a challenge.
You know, I expected to cry when I graduated. I didn't.
I also expected this gut wrenching fear of moving out and having all this change in my life. I'm not.
I am so incredibly excited for the things coming up this fall! I get to be a leader to some of the coolest kids around and teach them about Jesus. I get to see them love, hurt, and triumph. Hopefully I also get to help them through that process. Something I wish I would of had at that time.
I am also moving in with one of the coolest ladies I know!
I saw this posted on a friends facebook today and found it incredibly interesting.
I will definitely buy his book when I get the money.
I don't agree with him on everything he has said obviously but I thought what he did was incredibly interesting and definitely worth reading about. I dont think that the old laws still apply in today because I believe that after Jesus died on the cross for us we no longer had to give sacrifices and have all of those laws. I also believe that a lot of laws were also made up by the Pharisees so that they wouldn't break the true laws that God had laid down for them - the ten commandments.
I understand that we all don't share the same beliefs and that is fine.
I just feel that this is something that anyone could appreciate.
