I said I’d blog, and so I will. Pt.1 “Event”

As with most of you, last week has been a long one for me. Concerning memory, I lack the cognitive fortitude required to express my recollections with as much color and detail as I’d desire (I love getting all pseudo intellectual.) Nonetheless, bear with me as I attempt to stir up the latent memories settled at the bottom of the glass otherwise known as my hippo campus.(Sorry, it’s just so fun!)

Man, it’s really hard to remember exactly so I’ll just type and see what spills out. I think this is actually how I wanna make all my blog posts, heh.

Warning: Some stuff might not make sense.

Hmmmm…so yeah, last week was a biggie in terms of my spiritual growth. I just thank God for allowing me this experience, and while it has been saddening in many ways, at the same time I feel as if alot of what I’ve been party to has been super-edifying. Phew,  I’ve experienced so many biblical concepts and principals in action. The majority of the past week for me was spent in the doldrums. I was basically feeling really convicted of my sinfullness, and becoming more depressed by my failure to be faithful and find comfort in Christ. To put it in words “Ohh, how crappy I am, ohhhhh how crappy am I for not fully understanding how Christ forgives me for how crappy I am =’[ “………yeah, I’m an idiot, I know. Aside from my own personal issues, my church has been going through alot recently, and much of this “stuff” came to a head last week. For respect to all parties involved, and because I really don’t feel like trying to make a very long story into a shorter but still loong story which comprises pretty much my week from Monday-Saturday, I’ll just skip the details.  I feel as if God in part used this entire situation as a sort of ‘airing out’ for the church ( No really, everytime I think of it I imagine some lady airing out a sheet) and while I don’t have the full picture, from my persepctive, it’s been a mostly positive event for the church. But yeah,  because of the happenings last week, I was able to learn alot about my brothers and sisters in the church, myself, and most importantly God.

The best day of the week for me was Sunday (heh) it started off a little rough, but in the end it turned out to be a cleansing, edifying day of fellowship. I woke up around 11 something and my parents were doing junk, so I ended up getting to church reallll late.  The guest pastor was just wrapping up a sermon (From the small bit I heard it was about trusting God.) Strangely enough, hardly any of the youth were at the church, which irritated me for some reason that I didn’t care enough to examine any further. After the congregation was released for a break before Sunday school (If you don’t know how it works, I really don’t feel like explaining, maybe later…), I met up with Aaron, Marty, and eventually Jeremy and we headed by car to Rockville to get some food from this Japanese place. After eating some ramen that wasn’t as satisifying without a Metro Adventure (once again, maybe later…) We meandered around Rockville for a bit more, ate some acid/soda bubble gum, then headed to Aaron’s house for a weekly meeting that we’d planned. We’d missed the past couple weeks of our Sunday meetings for blah reasons, but this week it was definitely GOING DOWN! cuz’ we were DETERMINED!…mostly it was CONVENIENT! but WHO CARES cuz it was AWESOME!….. … … Dunno what happened there, but let’s get on track . The first half of the meeting was pretty decent I guess, it was mostly just Aaron telling the story of his week in where’s waldo scene detail. We decided to go to Mcdonalds, where they ate and I didn’t cuz I’m irresponsible with my money, then Jeremy went home. Aaron, Marty, and I headed back to the house of Aaron and some more chat lead to some pretty deep talk. The details of our conversation escape me at the moment, but believe me it was some grade A fellowship. I really thank God for that, because it allowed me to release some of my burdens, and get alot of spiritual edification from my brethren. Yeahh.. Sunday was cool, and so was Monday, which I just realized is yesterday now. I guess I can blog on Monday too since I’m here. Bayyy-sically I slept alot, read my bible alot and worked A-lot. I worked until 11 last night (Closing time at Ruby Tuesday) and made alot of money (To whomever it concerns, I made enough to pay you back…all of you.) I learned that my reading the bible at work draws alot of attention (I swear I’m not doing it on purpose) and opens alot of opportunity to witness and minister to my co-workers. It also showed my that I still need alot of growing to do in terms of my biblical knowledge and boldness. Pray for me in that regard.

Uh…I’m almost on E now….this blog post turned out to be way bigger than I thought… I’ll just split it into two partsss..and go to sleep.

haha, that’s awesome…
