almost done!!!! =D

So school is almost over!  In nine or ten short days, I’ll be headed home for the summer.  I definitely have some excitement and trepidation over this.  I’m afraid that I won’t get a job and that mom won’t let me continue to go to BFW.  I’m also afraid that I’m missing something in God’s call on my life.  I feel like I should be doing something more this summer and I have absolutely no idea what that is.  Is it taking a bigger step and doing more with the church?  Or am I mis-reading my heart?  I mean, it (my heart) has led me astray more than once before.  So what is my next step?  It’s not like I’m graduating from college or anything, but I’m still at the age where I have to live my own life and become okay with doing things on my own.  Plus I have to get a job :p  ickkk


Alright, so new story...


Last night I went to Christ Community Church's worship night  (I mostly went at first because I missed church yesterday morning) and let me just tell you, it was something that I've never really experienced.  The music was awesome (led by Becka  and JT (boo Ohio State!!)) and as I started to get into it, I realized that there are so many ways that we can be restricted from our freedom to worship.  And then the Pastor said something about it!  Anyway, later into the night, everybody was sharing about the pictures or words that God was speaking to them.  And Nicole and Emelie got "prophesied" over (i'm not sure if that's what it was b/c i'm not entirely familiar with it) and others were sharing about how God was showing them pictures or how God wanted people to jump into His "River".  Anyway, it was a really awesome experience and the picture that came to my mind was one that Shelly Binsfeld once shared with the BFW youth group.  And it's an image of a line graph.  And even though the lines go up and down, not once do they touch 0.  It's like God is cushioning us from hitting rock bottom.  I love this illustration and I hadn't even remembered that she told us about it until last night when it popped into my head.
