After my first blog last night I just couldn't seem to stop thinking about all the cool things that I could do with this. You know those night when you go to sleep and you just keep thinking about things, well last night was one of those nights. West Chester University went crazy last night. The last "Thirsty Thursday" of the school year, and for those who decided to not participate we still were affected by that night. I woke up in the middle of the night hearing some guy say "Gosh I wish I could steal this jeep." I sat up and thought to myself.. you try and see what happens. You see earlier this school year a person tried to break into my car around 4:00am, the morning after "Thirsty Thursday." They unzipped my jeep windows and then proceeded to try and open the door from the inside, fortunately the alarm went off and nothing was taken, but I would not let this happen again. I had my flip camera all ready to capture the guy.. he walked away and continued to yell as he walked up the street. So last night I probably got around 4 hours of sleep but thats ok with me. The royal wedding was today and I was so excited to see it. My mom told me how when she was my age she woke up early to watch Diana walk down the isle, so I decided I too needed to watch this and have that in common with my mom. Anyway I woke up and got to watch a few members of the royal family walk into the Church. Then it was time for me to pick up a few girls for our small group. I did miss the wedding but for a much greater thing. Time with these girls push me through and allow me to see what the Lord is doing. It blows me away that this time last year these girls were lost, searching for hope, and for something to give them life. Well they found Christ. Some of them already knew who he was but now they see the relational aspect of Him. See Him as a Father. Someone who would never leave them. Someone who would love them unconditionally. They found hope in their Creator. Isn't it amazing all of God's promises to us? Isn't it crazy how when we allow him to be the center of our lives he shifts everything, and fills that hole? I am seriously in awe of what He has done in my life and in the lives of students at Rustin High School. He is doing a great work and I thank him for allowing me to be apart of this journey.
Anyway for my small group I made the girls prayer journals. I think they came out pretty cute..
I really like them and think that I am going to make a few more for gifts, maybe even make an etsy site and sell them there? I think ill wait for a bit more feedback before I get all the supplies.
Now I am currently home. Watching parts of the wedding I missed. Gosh I cant wait until I get married and get to plan a beautiful wedding. Kate's dress was beautiful and defiantly the style I want for a dress. I do however think its silly how so many people have been so on top of the news, what dress she is wearing, hats, etc. I do think its good though that we get to look at the more exciting and happy things in life, not all the war, hurt, and brokenness of our world. Marriage is a beautiful thing. I hope the Lord has someone who can handle me :) I just have to trust in him that he will provide.
Currently I should be taking a take home test but my professor took off the link on our website so I'm sitting here pondering what I should do. Blogging seemed like the right thing, but now I'm thinking some more time with the Lord on this glorious day he created might be a better idea.
Thats all for now, enjoy the day the Lord has made.
