My Life: This Week

This Week

Hey everyone! A lot of cool stuff has happened this week! Let's start with Sunday.

My church is doing a study called, "The Truth Project." It's a twelve-week video study about truth-God's truth-His word. It's only week one, but so far it's been pretty good. We talked about one of my favorite verses!"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 Doesn't that verse make you want to dance around and praise God? His truth can set us free. Free from all of our ugly sin. Pretty amazing! I also went to my friend's birthday party. We had a blast! We played board games, went outside, and took a ton of pictures!Monday was Monday-ish. I went to dance and had to do crunches! 150 to be exact! But I'm glad I did them because crunches strengthen your core. Tuesday was very fun! I went to Drama club and drew "wooden paneling" for the backdrop. And MAFA, oh boy, MAFA was something else! Everyone (including me) was hyper because it was GORGEOUS outside! I'm talking almost 70 degrees! Lucky for me, I got to go outside and paint more scenery. Unfortunately, Emily did not have as good of a time as I did. Go check out her blog to read about her tango lesson. Then for my Mark Twain class we just sat outside and discussed The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. History was crazy cause we had a sub. We learned about the different presidents from 1830-1900. The most exciting thing that happened on Tuesday was I went over the Emily's house and spent the night! On Wednesday morning we woke at 6:30 and went skiing! I haven't been skiing for two years, and I had only skied once before, but I had an awesome time! I had three EPIC falls (going down the mountain head first on my back & almost doing a split) and a few minor falls, other than that, I did pretty well! Only bad thing was my knee and Emily's leg started hurting and we all forgot to put on sunscreen and came home with red faces. :\ At church my small group talked about giving over every aspect of our lives to God. He has such wonderful plans for us, our wildest dreams can't even compare, yet sometimes we hold onto stuff that limits us from becoming all He created us to be. This really got me thinking. Is there anything I'm holding onto? Doubts, fears, insecurities, material possessions? God is waiting for me to hand over my "stuff" so He can turn my life into something truly beautiful. Today was pretty good. It was nice outside until about 2, when it started raining. The daycare kids had a circus today. We laid three hula hoops down in the living room and each ring had a different act. There was the elephants and horses, juggling clowns, and tightrope walkers. The ringmaster introduced every act. It was adorable! To wrap up this week I'm having a sleepover with two of my friends tomorrow! I haven't had a sleepover with either of them in forever, so I'm excited!Thanks for staying with me! I know I have not been posting very frequently, but I'll try to be better about posting. And.......Bleah Briann is now following My Life! Thanks Bleah!
