So last night was the most amazing ever. 7o7 made my weekend. Which I needed very badly. And I think it was more amazing, b/c I had missed the last 2 weeks. So being back was great. And Dan (guy from my sunday school class for those who don't know) was baptized at 7o7! :o) So exciting.
But yeah, it was quite amazing. Between the completely awesome worship, and the testimonies of the ppl being baptized, and everything. It was crazy. The worship was my favorite. Which was pretty much the entire time. Because with the baptisms there wasn't much time for an actual sermon. So Dan B. came out, talked for a min, and then had everyone just spend the 15 min in prayer and worship. Which, I completely needed. I don't spend half as much time doing that as I need to/want to. So it was amazing to just be able to have time to just be in God's presence with so many other people, and just be able to pour everything out to him. I can't even explain the feeling that was there. It was just... completely awesomely amazing. Like, when Ryan and the band sang "Wailing Into Dancing" it was like. dude. Like, I can't explain it. You have to be there. It's like... I can't even compare it to anything. lol. You just know that God's there, and it's just... amazing. I wonder how many times I said amazing. haha. But yeah. It was. And hearing all the testimonies made me think. And they all had a friend, or someone that brought them to Christ just by being there, and being that example, and asking them to do things like 7o7, and things like that. And I'm like, I need to start living like those friends. Being more of an example. Dan B. read a verse that talked about how we as Christians are supposed to live "in the world, and not of it".
So that's my goal. :o) Not to try to be perfect, b/c it's impossible. Not to force anything on anyone, b/c that doesn't help. But just try my best to live my life so that it glorifies our amazing God. It's not easy, He never said it would be. All he promised was that we would never have to walk through it alone. :o)
Alright, I could keep talking about this, but I should go eat and find a current event for class. I'll ttyl though.
