FINALLY, I got to go to church and see my people this morning!

Dood, a pipe busted in the old building of our church (where all the cool kid stuff goes down) and thankfully it didn't effect kids church, but our side of the building is just awful. Apparently before they started cleaning, the floors were submerged in two inches of water! Hopefully none of the sound stuff under the stage was effected. This is so terrible, and I trust God to provide everything we need to get things rolling again, but I will positively die if F51 gets canceled on Wednesday... again.

Since there was no bible study (D:), I went to first service. It was about all of our callings as fishers of men-- and how the best way to preach the gospel and get men to God is by living in His image. We have to live with Christ, for Christ, and in Christ. He talked about how we don't want to draw people to our faith, and then push them away because we aren't anything like a reflection of what we believe. He mentioned the fact that there was still a hell, and it's still just as hot. I love Pastor Wooten. At the end of service, he had everyone in youth go stand next to a grandparent and pray for them; he had us thank them for leaving a legacy of faith that has influenced us. I stood next to a beautiful African-American women who's legacy was apparent. She was a she was the mother of a mother who has daughters in kids church, and a son who grew up in youth. It is nice to pray for people, perhaps more lovely than to be prayed for.

Drama team is about to get more legit than it already was becoming. There's a new couple who want to be youth leaders (Rachel and Matthew), and they are so sweet! They are also very passionate about drama ministry and are going to oversee that. I'm looking forward to great things!

So I also went to second service, even though it was the same sermon, because I cannot accept the concept of leaving church before 11. It just doesn't work that way. I totally sat by my favorite person ever :P. And so when pastor called us to go pray again, I went to go pray for Mrs. Cindy (Jacob and Stud Muffin's mom/grandma). I got super emotional when I started lifting her up to God, because I am so thankful that she has taken responsibility as a parent. I know it must get rough around there sometimes, but they need her. And I love them to pieces, so I love her-- also to pieces. <3

Yesterday before bed, I was talking to my Jesus, and it seems like theres this really awful plague going around my youth group. There are huge blotches of defeat and confusion; you can even see it on some of their faces. I just pray the spirit of revelation over all of them. I feel like if everyone had a better understanding of who He is, they'd have a better understanding of who they ought to be. Then they could pin point the exact cause of that brokenness, and get it out. None of that stuff comes from God, anyway, and I flat out don't like it.

I didn't see Kylie today. Sadface. Bree totally, clearly, wanted me to fight her. She looked at my shoes and gave me a face... UNACCEPTABLE! Ha, I love her. I didn't get the pleasure of harassing Jared about drinking coffee today, but I'll get him next time! Jacob called me a "little church girl" because I have a bible in my purse at all times. He also made fun of me for being on Macadec, even though Academic Decathlon is definitely the most gangster thing since the possession of illegal weapons. After service, Stud Muffin gave me the warmest, most random hug, evar. Like... it made me smile. Chrystal Cole is so beautiful. Conner and Hannah weren't there, and I need them to stop that, because I miss them! Everyone had on their Eddie James shirts that they got at Winterfest. I love it! Holly's outfit was super cute today. She WILL give me those shoes. I never get to talk to Karla or Jamee anymore, because they're always up in the sound booth. Sooo, can you guys tell how much I love these people, or what?

Superbowl today, huh? I suppose I'll watch :P Finally we get to go to school tomorrow. I thought this day would never come! My phone's still off, and I'm still enjoying it. I love God. Bai :D
