Blog Excuse: I've been in battle!

Well I've been out of blogger world for the weekend. I have missed three days of my challenge and you have missed three of the most exciting days I have had in a long time. I guess you win some and you lose some... and sorry, but I'd give up blogging any day for another weekend like this one.

Tonight at church we did this thing that we do a lot called "all-the-ministers-in-the-church-share-a-small-sermon" Yeah. And guess what? It's funny how God does this a lot in our church, but all the ministers talked about the same thing: Victory.

It was absolutely crazy because that has been the theme of this weekend for me, for my family, my friends, and the church. I titled this post "I've been in battle" because that is literally how I feel about this weekend. I (and many others) have been fighting the devil this weekend... and have won. And victory is sweet.

Okay, so by this time you are wondering, "what in the world is this little chica talking about?"

I have a new best friend and sister in Christ as of Friday night, Chaley. But let me tell you, it was not easy. I have never seen a battle for a soul like this in my entire life. I just know God has a plan and a purpose for her that is going to be off the chiz-ain. I wish I could tell you the story, but its not my story to tell. It's hers.

So I'll just be a little boring and tell you my story. This is a weekend in the life of Anna (also starring the Link Family, the FAC BG Church family, and the Grandparents)

I'll start on Wednesday:
Wednesday: Class, exam, work, church, a friend coming to church with me to take pictures? and lots of studying and praying for Chaley.
Thursday: Class, more studying, work out, dinner at the Hudson's house, more studying lots of praying for Chaley.
Friday: Class, two exams, pack, drive home, ride with Grandad and sisters back to Bowling Green for Revival, fight the devil, watch Chaley get the Holy Ghost, sing til I have no more voice, go to Mcdonalds, drive Grandad's car home from BG
Saturday: Goodwill Saturday, eat out, grocery shopping and walmart, Singing at the Nicaragua fundraiser, back to BG for more revival. More fighting the devil. Tore up a carpet (dancing, that is) and drive back home.
Sunday: Church, Lunch, Church, Preach, Watch T.V.

I'm tired just thinking about it. But I just love the Lord, He is so awesome and He has won some battles this weekend. I mean I could almost see His hand moving the pieces. I felt like I was in one of Frank Peretti's novels... which is cool... but also scary. But mostly cool.
