After a draining two hours of getting owned by CS, I wanted to just yolo and hang out with people, so I decided to go to Royston, where I was blessed by Tim and Linda who graciously fed me. I forgot there was Tuesday small groups too (planning on going to Thursdays!), but since I had the time, I just joined Eric and David in 'small group,' and that was really cool, because I feel like I don't get to talk to David or Eric very often, and it was cool to just be in this setting where we were all open to sharing with one another. Then I went home for our blog google hangout for Joyce's birthday, and even though I was just kinda laying in my bed and listening to them talk most of the time, it was so joyous to just be able to partake in fellowship with them and to be able to pray over Joyce on her birthday.Then this morning, I got to exercise (lul P.E.) and then I made my own lunch (go me!), while being able to just openly worship my good God and bask in His presence in my apartment. Ahhhh, He is filling me with such joy! I mean, honestly, not a lot has really happened over the past 12 hours, and it was mostly just being with people, but I have been able to find such joy in this past half day.
Praise Him who fills us with such joy!
P.S. I'm getting sick, and I still have a lot of work coming up, so please be keeping me in your prayers!
aw, so encouraging :)
ReplyDeleteI totally had a Sunday morning like that -- when I felt an uncontained joy that couldn't be squashed. Good times, those are. It's really awesome that your apartment can be a place of open worship and God's presence.
I'm glad that in the midst of midterms, you aren't isolating yourself and that you are still getting your fill of human interaction ;) I'm really glad we got to googlehangout with everyone on Tuesday.
And finally, go you -- cooking for yourself. It looks pretty pro! (And the shirt in the picture makes me really happy!)
Have a great rest of the week!
