So lately i’ve allowed myself to be way too busy to post anything. How many times in the past two weeks have i sat down at and stared at my computer screen for about 137 seconds and then headed up to bed.
So much has happened lately that i have barely slowed down enough to articulate to myself and so i felt i couldn’t just start typing and hope for a blog because it would be so un-thought-through. well… enough of that.
Here’s a very late night very loose recap of my life lately. winter weekend camp was great. Dec. 5-7. i had an awesome time connecting with a couple of high school guys. the bus rides were probably my favorite times.
Dec. 12 weekend was another weekend to remember. It was probably the best thing for my heart in a looooooooooong time. I got to spend the weekend at Lake Champion serving 450 high school students as Pat Goodman and they’re leaders proclaimed the good news of Christ to them. Two really exciting thing about that weekend.
1. 18 young adult friends of ours came up to work Summer staff positions and had the chance to see YL for the first time! (they’re now hooked) and they were also the craziest people in club.
and then the icing on the cake. the chance to eat with and be loved on by these beautiful people for a whole weekend.
(don’t mind the crazy face… it was in the middle of singing in club)
I love that my apartment is a place that is way too small for people to come to but yet it still ends up that people come. Jordan and Moose were crashing here almost everyday for a solid week after camp. tonight 5 of us ate taco bell on crammed couches and watched hadjoglou get is butt rocked by don flamenco pt. 2
This past week was crazy. Club on monday was really fun. No suck and blow this time, but i had some really great convos with some fun new friends about Jesus Christ and failing school and putting more value on friendships with people who actually care about Christ in our life.
and i forgot a guitar chord so i had to stand on a chair to be loud enough.
Wednesday was a crazy day last week. Anna turned 18, a bunch of us filled her house and ate home made fudge. Then sadly around 3am i got a phone call to pray for the father of a club kid. 20 minutes later i got another call. After a week of fighting and praying against physical breakdowns, his heart finally gave up. The hospital at 4am was a place to watch miracles. With my own eyes i watched as Jesus hugged and cried with a HS girl through the presence of her friends in Christ.
That night i caught a virus… fever and headache, the works. But God has blessed my body and the orange juice that i chugged each day so that i was able to get up lead today in Church for our Christmas Sunday Service.
Ohhhh my… it’s just not fair sometimes how cute little girls can be. puffy white dress and angel wings did me in this morning.
And a family mourning and remembering their father through stories of laughter and jokes tonight at the funeral home did me in again.
So now i look forward to YL Christmas party, Christmas caroling with the youth group, Christmas with the family, a couple late night studio sessions, feasto con mel, and new years in buffalo with a few handfuls of my favorite people.
There’s going to be a lot to post about in the very near future… but for now. Sleep
p.s. I left out the very exciting part about placing new YL Leaders in our area, that requires it’s own post.
