soulfest.
... my life is a beautiful thing.
i realized that this weekend.
i have an amazing, indescribable God.
i have ridiculous, crazy and loving friends.
i have overprotective and caring parents.
i have a faith that is on fire and spreading.
soulfest was so insanely different this year than i've ever experienced before.
my faith was really tested, and i feel like it really grew a lot. mass was amazing
each morning .. God honestly is amazing. ever since my conversatoin with
lauren last week, i realized how incredible the Eucharist is , and how important
it is in my life. and ever since then, i just feel so intensely in love with my Jesus.
like, i'm actually in love with the guy who created everything in the universe.
i'm pretty blessed. to be honest, i really couldn't ask for more in life ; i have
friends, family and a faith that can pull me through when everything else falls apart.
the concerts at soulfest were wicked sweet ;; emery owns my life, i'm pretty sure <3
blegh, it's a close call though, because skillet was amaazingg, too. pillar and red
were really big letdowns, though, but that happens. but yeah, that was the music .
spiritually / personally, i think it was the best soulfest i've been to so far. i got a chance
to catch up with people i had really lost connection with while devin and i were going
out, and restoring those relationships has been like piecing together a part of me that
was missing, and i hadn't even realized it was missing. hanging out with katie and
chris was awesome, too. and then things with nick . being the overparanoid person
that i am, i got all worried that he was avoiding me and whatever the first two days, but
talking definitely helped clear that up for me. :] being able to talk about faith with him,
walking around or laying under the stars, was just .. amazing. knowing that his faith
has been so strong and that this relationship is something we're both praying about
is so reassuring, and makes what we share so much stronger, for me, at least. and
after a big discussion yesterday, my dad told me today that he approved of me and nick,
which is a huge step. he said he doesn't want to see me rushing into anything, which
is understandable, but that he is okay with my judgement and knows that we're both
praying about it, so for now talking is good, and then whatever happens, happens. :]
the next couple weeks should be about getting to know each other a little better,
about growing in faith, and about knowing for sure that this is what we want now.
... because, to be honest, i really think that it is. and i'm looking forward to it with all of my heart.
let's spend tonight on top of the world,
& we can do anything [ we can be anything ]
i'll meet you tonight on top of the world.. <3
