anyways, i've been MIA for a few days just because i've been busy. and i figured i would send this off before a busy weekend (it's my mommy's birthday tomorrow! happy birthday!)
well today i got to go with Matt Knapp and Pattie Fisher to see part of the place that we will be staying/serving at for our upcoming mission trip (once again, if you want to support me, let me know!) it was amazing. we got to see part of the sleeping place as well as walk through the Tenderloin area, and get a really good lunch. we also had a great conversation/prayer with Justin, a homeless man we met. he's been out of a job for 2 years and has no where to go. it's amazing to think that i will get to be doing stuff like that all day everyday for a week. yes it is out of my cozy zone, but i really want to be stretched like that.
and that was all very fun and eye opening. i then also got to go get some frozen yogurt with Rachel, she's leaving to go back to school Saturday :( and now, i'm getting ready for bed. but i figured you all would (maybe) want a update.
basically, that's what i did today. i had a pretty busy week. Tuesday i... umm... i know i did something. haha, but i got to Skype Kevin at the end of the day, that was nice. Wednesday was busy. Gym, pick up nick, Club J and then Girls Group. but again a really good day. then today was busy. tomorrow i'm going to coffee, then taking Rachel to Bart and then coming back home for my mommy's birthday!
so yes, big day(s).
this weekend i'm hanging around before starting back up at Ohlone on Monday. i'm pretty excited actually. =]
the other day i was listening to some music by Brandon Heath. a great Christian artist. who is also SUPER cute. like wow, cute.
but anyways one of his love songs came on. now you have to understand. i have met him. in person. he picked me up off the dock at Malibu and held my hand as i got into the boat. it was amazing. (yeah i have a little crush...)
buuut i also met his girlfriend. haha. she is a amazing person too. basically, her and her family have a huge house next door to Malibu, but they also have like a hotel thing, that really important people and world leaders from everywhere stay at. the Goff's are amazing people. talking to Bob for 2 minutes will change your life forever. but my "boss" lives kinda under their house, and the retail team got to go there for a spa day on our day off. and Brandon Heath picked us up. then Lindsey and Mrs Goff hung out with us during our spa day. it was great.
and can i just say, that after you have seen the two of them together, hearing the love songs makes it sooooo much sweeter.
for sure a top moment/day in my life.
i will share a picture so you can see what i'm talking about. sadly, i never got a chance to have a picture taken with him. but hey
HE HELD MY HAND!
you can't tell me he's not good looking. plus he can sing. if you haven't heard him, go, check him out. now!
random fact
i have a freckle on the palm of my left hand, and on my pinkie finger. i used to have one on the bottom of my foot, but i don't know where it went. i've had a couple of warts removed from there (it's a yucky story) and i think it might have gone with it....
until i write again

ReplyDeleteIt was a great day in the city. I am so glad you got to go with us. I am still blessed by what you prayed for Justin. I keep praying that for him--that he finds his home in God.
