It's Monday morning, 9:50 a.m. and I am in the Cherry Hall computer lab doing... nothing. I've been on facebook, twitter, checked my e-mail twice, and nothing. I have no pressing homework, no papers to write, no tests to study for, and just a couple of small assignments that I don't have to do right now. It feels like the week after midterms... oh wait, it is. I hardly know what to do with myself. This past weekend I was almost sure that the semester is almost over, but I was wrong. Seven more weeks (including finals week). I almost got depressed, but I will not. They will fly by, and then the semester will be over. Hallelujah. So this week of nothing to do (fingers crossed), I will relax and not stress.
This past weekend was amazing (do I only blog on Mondays to write about the weekend? I'm afraid so). Friday night I went to a Casting Crowns concert with Joseph and his family. It was fabulous. Joseph wore a white polo with little hand prints all over it... I love him anyways. Saturday morning I woke up and my family went to clean the church in preparation for our service on Sunday. Joseph came over later and we played UNO for two hours as a family. I won twice, Christina won three times, and my mom (the pretty much undefeated champion until Saturday) won once. Rebekah one once and Joseph did not win at all. Fail.
Saturday night Joseph and I went to Honeysuckle Hill Farms. If you live in the middle Tennessee area, you really ought to go sometime, its so worth the ten dollars you pay to get in! It was so fun! We ate good food (caramel apples...yum) and looked at farm animals (little pigs and bunnies!!!) and went through a Tennessee Twister (ahhh!!!) and, finally, we did a corn maze! It was at night, so it was dark and we used flashlights... some of the time. Two couples from Joseph's church joined us and they were kind of skittish in the dark. So Joseph and I spent most of our time scaring them. Good times.
And Sunday, my favorite day of the week, was great! I know I blogged about this last week, asking you all to pray and such, and I really think the Lord did a great thing Sunday. The people I wanted to be there were there and I know that God was working in their lives. Every single word that was said was perfect, right on time, and every song was anointed, the worship was moving, and the spirit was sweet.
Our youth pastor's wife, Sarah, sang an old song called "It gets sweeter as the days go by" and she testified before singing about how we go through life and no matter what stage we are in, someone always tells us "these are the best years of your life." So naturally, we might assume that the next stage is going to be worse than the one we're in, but then we get there and Oh! These are the best days! Because when we know Jesus, everyday is sweeter than the day before.
