...To return to my faithful blog.
So many things have happened.
I went to Lynette's fashion show last night in the CAU gym. I feel about 30% cooler than I did before I came. I had an awesome conversation with her boyfriend, Nick, on the way there. Who knew that there were so many different kinds of people in the World? And for that matter, in Lilburn?! Sometimes I feel like people are hopeless... Then I realize that I'm just being naive... To everyone that may think that they'll "never find someone who understands them" or "a future spouse": Remember the saying "There's plenty of fish in the sea"? That saying is unbelievibly comforting and true. So don't be so pessimistic. Try being... Hm, I don't' know, patient? There are PLENTY of fishies in the sea... More than you probably want. Just branch out, leave your comfort zone. You'll be surprised where that takes you.
I guess I'll be going in reversed order with the things that I have been up to.
So, I got my nails (mani/pedi) done on Thursday for PROM 2010! Very exciting. I love being pampered. Who wouldn't?
Wednesday, I took pictures for the Grace Volunteer Luau. I thought that there would be about 30 people there.
There were about 1500 people present.
Mostly children under 8.
I had fun. :)
Tuesday was house church. I had wanted to go to KSU for transition, but it's so far away... Only about 4 months and I'll be chillin' on campus. :D
I'll skip Monday. It was iight.
AND SO, MIDTOWN on Sunday night! It was GLORIOUS! I went with Emilee. It was both of our first time. The message was powerful and the worship was blissful. The Lord is invading my heart. Though, isn't he always? I need to address that more. When I'm dry, I'M dry, not Him. Silly me. Silly us.
Forget my name.
Forget my age.
All that strays away-
Covered in veins and bones of ashen,
How different are we anyway?
My clothes, my hair, my skin, my face-
Distractions all too many.
Let’s cast down these masks and reveal ourselves.
Our similarities are much too plenty.
Strip the world of its abundant skins,
And see it how it was born.
Its purity and nakedness
Is beautiful, but slightly torn.
Strung away from what made what,
Everything was analogous.
Taken from it its sovereignty,
The world was swiftly powerless.


Great post Lauren. You are so right about "many fish in the sea.". Cool picture of all those little people at Grace!
