It's been a little while!

Sorry it's been so long, I always forget to update this thing! I'l get the hang of it eventually...

So this weekend, I helped out with worship for Chrysalis weekend and basically what it is is a right of passage for girls to become woman of God and such.

The first night was kind of nerve wracking, because none of us were sure how any of it was gonna go. Some of the girls had a hard time with the lessons and just with their attitudes and stuff like that, so I was just nervous about trying to keep my patience and that the girls would get something out of the weekend, and how they do the first night was going to let me know how the rest of the week might go.

Suprisingly, the girls were excellent. We did all kinda of crazy activities and they NEVER complained; they were real troopers.

That night was really special for me because after the last activity, they would get flash paper and write something they were struggling with, or something that was keeping them from furthering their relationship with God and then they would burn it after they prayed about it. And then we as grads, got in a circle and prayed for the girls and for the weekend and then we prayed over another girl in our group who seemed to be going through a rough time, and I think it brought us closer together as a group.

Worship went pretty well, except I messed up one song BIG TIME!!! I pressed the wrong track and it was wayyy too high, and it sounded horrible! But it really wasn't a big deal, although I was pretty embarrassed...

But over-all, the weekend was a success.

The only thing that made me upset and that I thought could possible ruin the weekend for me and for some of the girls, was two of the grads had the totally wrong attitude this weekend. And I won't go into detail, but I really had to pray that they wouldn't ruin it and that I could just focus on helping the girls and that I could be the best example to them, if the other girls weren't a good example.

I also realized just how much I love nature. Not so much the bugs and such, but the animals and the sounds and the weather. Even the rain and cold...in the middle of May!!! And I sat outside last night and just prayed and thanked God for blessing us with this beautiful world and I relaly don't wanna take it for granite anymore.


That's really all I had to say, although I wanna leave you with some lyrics to a beautiful song I head recently. Hopefully they stick with you.


I will pray for you now, for you have been my faithful friends
While the road we walk is difficult indeed
I couldn't not ask for more than what you've already been
Only that you would say these prayers for me
May your heart break enough that compassion enters in
May your strentgh all be spent upon the weak
All the castles and crowns you build and place upon your head
May they all fall, come crashing down around your feet
May you find every step to be harder than the last
So your character grows greater every stride
May your company be of human insignificance
May your weakness be your only source of pride
What you do unto others may it all be done to you
May you meet the One who made us
And see Him smile when life is through
May your blessings be many but not what you hoped they'd be
And when you look upon the broken
May mercy show you what you could not see
May you never be sure of any plans you desire
But you'd learn to trust the plan He has for you
May your passions be tried and tested in the holy fire
May you fight with all your life for what is true
I have prayed for you now all my dear and faithful friends
But what I wish is more than I could eever speak
As the way wanders on I'll long to see you once again
Until then, would you pray these prayers for me?
Oh, that you would pray for me
