Rocked.

*My weekend was absolutely rocked by Jesus. He just kept sending reminders that I should be so appreciative of my life. This weekend was a great but tiring one. I got to go to a creepy corn maze in the middle of nowhere (life lesson for this week kids, bring cash when you are going to the middle of nowhere, because if you don't you have to go to the middle of nowhere town and search for a ATM), then Justin came in for his birthday and we did some "shopping".
*This all happened on Friday and for some reason Friday night I just couldn't get to sleep and then I woke up super early on Saturday and did some more "shopping" with Liz and Charlotte, visited Aisha and the rock'n'rolla, all throughout this I'm in communication with people trying to make dinner plans for Justin's birthday and it just wasn't coming together like it should. So long (frustrating) story short I was really tired by Justin's birthday dinner and in a bad mood. Now, I'm not the type of person to put on a brave face and pretend that I'm not in a bad mood (that's silly to me! I'm not going to pretend to be ok when I'm not. I feel that's deceptive) when I'm in one, but since it was Justin's birthday I tried to be friendly (but failed miserably).
*So we are finally heading home on the train when all of a sudden it comes to an abrupt stop (I'm talking brakes burning kind of stop) and they cut the power off. So now we are sitting in a semi-dark train car at one in the morning with no clue as to what was going on. So Q, Monique, and myself just start praying and before I'm even done praying we regain power and make it to our stop safely. Apparently someone was on the tracks that's why they had to cut the power. So that was lesson number one on why I should be appreciative. I mean anything could have been going on during that time we were stopped (and trust me I went through all the scenario's in my mind), but God allowed us to get home safely. Awesome.
*My second lesson just came from an amazing church service about Jonah and how he never stopped focusing on and praising God, even when he was at his lowest in the belly of the fish. It was just a reminder that I should never stop praising God, because He is forever faithful
*And my third and final lesson (well final fr omthis weekend, because God is continually teaching me) came from watching an amazing documentary titled "Very Young Girls". It was about prostitution in then United States and how many people (myself included) view that as an overseas problem, when really it's happening right here. It was a really emotional movie to watch, because that could have been me or one of my sisters or one of my friends if our home situations had been different. But it made me so thankful to God that no one I know has ever had to experience that and I'm going to work to make sure that those girls that are involved with it have a way out.
Well that was my wonderful weekend and I won't apologize for this post being so long because my God is an awesome God and He deserves so much more than this.
love,
