Amazing Weekend

I had an awesome weekend!

The End.




...Just kidding. It doesn't stop there! I worked a bunch Friday night at E-city Java (made $30+ in tips...yueah!) Saturday, I met with the Ignite Creative Team (more on this later) at Denny's and we had some awesome ideas and whatnot, including ideas for the stage set for last night at Ignite! (Alden spoke about "Foundations" and what it means to have a strong foundation in life. To have a good foundation we need: God's Son, God's Word, and God's Family.) SO, we fabricated an awesome set that was put together literally minutes before Ignite started; here's some pictures:



This is the bare minimum of stage design that would be awesome for every series! I'm pretty pumped, 'cause we got some awesome people that will be helping out with this stuff!

Also this weekend, God got all up into my grill about some things pertaining to relationships. I talked about it, and found out that God really does give us immeasurably more than we can deserve or imagine. Whitney had the incredible idea from God to take a sabbatical or hiatus for two months from any sort of serious relationship other than with God. This means no dating or looking for a relationship, but focusing on the most important relationship: the relationship with Christ. Now, Whit might say that it was all God's idea, but I think it's incredible of her to have this sort of wisdom and understanding and discernment of God's speaking to her. (thanks a lot for this, Whit!)

I want to spend a similar two months to focus on my relationship with God as well. This means perhaps getting more involved with reaching the school for Christ, and planning out some things to come closer to my calling, and making sure that God has everything of me and to practice living by His Spirit and Will each day. I LOVE THIS! It is amazing that God has shown the importance of this through someone else...He is an awesome God!

I will update about this as time goes on, but now I have to go and get some supplies and work some on Architecture and Ignite Creative Team stuff. Good-night! God loves you!
