hello everyone!!! today was a wonderful day... prayer this morning was amazing!!! one of my new favorite songs is by misty edwards: "I will waste my life" and she's talking about giving everything to God. my favorite line is "there is no cost-- i am in love with You. there is no loss--i am in love with You." actually, there's another one of her songs called "lovesick" that's absolutely amazing, too. my favorite lines in that one are: "happy am i to live a hungry life; and blessed am i to thirst. only You can satisfy." i just like it so much because it puts a new perspective on going through trials. it's like, we should be happy (joyful) to go through times of hunger and thirst, because in those times we can rely on God to fill us. obviously, i know that's easier said than done, but i still love that song--it makes me have a more positive attitude about life in general when i think about it. :)
this afternoon we had ministry time: we had to choose a primary and a secondary ministry, and so i'm doing creative arts (worship team) as my primary, and children's ministries as my secondary. so normally during ministry time on wednesdays i will be working with the worship or children's pastor and helping set up for wednesday night service, but today neither of them was available, so i worked with jason and learned how to make podcasts. i'm really computer stupid, though, so it was kind of not captivating to me... :) but i still enjoyed it, and now if i ever feel the need to make a podcast, i could at least make an admirable attempt at it.
tonight i had missionettes which i absolutely LOVE!!! the girls are so precious (and sometimes slightly hyper :) but they are a total blast to be around...if i ever work with kids in the future, i think i really like the 3-5th grade age group.
and tomorrow begins snow jam. this takes place in del mar...like 30 minutes away from us. it is a snowboarding/ski show where a bunch of big sports places come together and sell their products. we help because they pay us and so the master's program gets money for missions trips... tomorrow we set up and then it goes through sunday when we will probably be there till the wee hours of the morning tearing everything down. but we have monday off!!! and i really do think this will be a fun and great experience! so anyways, that is my plan for the weekend. i am really happy cuz we get to come home every night after and sleep in our own beds--yay! and that is the update on my life... i'll hopefully write again on monday!!! :)
