So I'm in class, right. But you guys gotta hear about this!

Church last night was on point to the max. I missed band practice, because I couldn't get there. But you know what, God works! Kylie wanted to sing with Josh one last time, and so she took my place on stage. Alisha and Heather and Kaysey were already super hyped up, and the spirit of liveness is definitely contagious, haaa. Worship started and I was READY. We danced, we clapped, we praised, we worshiped. It was all just so uplifting. I hadn't worshiped like I did in such a long time. There was love radiating from the stage, from Above, from every direction. I couldn't stop moving, I couldn't keep from singing.

The plan was to just do worship and then chill out and spend time with each other, because that was Josh's last time at F51. God had something so much better in store for us. "Our God" is the song of a lifetime. There's something so empowering about knowing that there is a God who loves us, who is greater, stronger, higher than any of the trials we will ever face. "If our God is for us, then who could ever stop us? And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?" And then the Spirit of the Lord dropped and stuff got real!

When Eric announced that there was going to be an altar call, I went back to my seat and just worshiped and prayed over everyone in that room, because I love them all so dearly. The first call was for addiction. No one wanted to be the first person up there, and all I could do was speak the name of Jesus with faith that He would move. But then again, that's all you ever have to do-- call on His name. I opened my eyes and saw Connor going to the front, and I cried like the true cry baby I am. Other people started to come too, and it was so glorious. Then there was a call for people who needed confidence. The altar filled up quickly on that one. The healing power that went down last night was unreal, y'all.

We closed service with "Love Riot" Can you say, party? xD I love Heather and Kaysey so much, and you guys have no clue how thankful I am to have them in my life now. I was so excited when Heather asked me to pray for her during altar call. Ahh!

I really wish Bree and Jared could have been there. Finally I got to see Ms. Tanya! <3

I've learned some things since I upgraded to my grown woman status. I know what I want, and what I don't want, and how to obtain/reject those things. I know that I am responsible for every one of my actions, and am fully aware of each of their consequences. I know that out of sight doesn't necessarily mean out of mind. I've learned that "out of mind" is independent of "out of sight." And let's praise Jesus for that! I've learned that just because I don't need/want another person in my life, it doesn't mean that I shouldn't be there if they need me. It's all about love, and love means telling the truth. Honesty seems to be my new favorite concept. Shocking.

My knowledge of just how good our God is, will ever increase.
