so last night i went on my first P-staff retreat for awakening 48
it was so nice to get away from the city and bond with people who
have beliefs just like mine
because as we all know there is nothing normal about me and i really don't
fit in anywhere but i am ok with not fitting the mold of normalcy.
and the stars out there were so bright! it was so gorgeous!!!!!
so there are these thoughts i get in my head when i pray
i think about life: both good and bad because lets face it
things are never as they seem. Sometimes we think its the end of the world because of one bad incident and sometimes we don't realize the seriousness of the situation. As i was sitting talking with my P-partner i saw myself in a different light because : 1. i am in such a better place than i was a year ago 2. just because i met someone at the UCC doesn't mean that they have it all figured out. i use to think i was the only one who struggled with my faith but yesterday things were put into perspective and it was quite a wonderful feeling getting to know my P-partner. We are all human with feelings and emotions that we can't always understand of figure out
besides being almost an hour late (which really wasn't a big deal) yesterday was just nice :)
but thats all the awakening talk for now i have to be careful what i say just incase some who reads this gets to go! which i really hope happens!
so then i come home to find beer and chips outside the apartment and i bet you can guess what this means! mhmmmm if yo guessed PARTY then you my friend are correct haha i always miss something when i take off to retreats but honestly i trade partying for a more spiritual life any day. there is something about my deepening relationship with the lord that makes me feel so amazing with out having any kinds of substance in my system :) but lets not get ahead of ourselves i still live mary jane<3333 hahaha and revelation gives us an excellent verse to make us think twice about her:
"And on either side of the river was the tree of life...the leaves of the tree were for the healings of the nation."
Revelation 22:2
take it as you wish ill do what i do and you can do what you want with that :)
oh and another great things was the txt i woke up to this morning at 8:22 am
"For we live by believing not by seeing." Corinthians 5:7
it couldnt be more true! the lord is good. he provides!
so lets see after some emails with mello i am glad to let you guys know that she is safe and sound in Spain and i should be hearing from her soon! i am also happy to report that along with jeff i shall be adding vocals to a song of his. i am really excited for this. i've always love music and i am looking forward to getting back into it! so be waiting to hear it :)
life is just getting better and better each day && i have my wonderful friends and family and God to thank for that
so that is all for this entry :)
i'm just happy happy happy
and i shall dance like nobody is watching (:
peace love && shooting stars
