During Saturday's football game, we were at parade rest for a while in front of the crowd. Seniors were being acknowledged and it was a long wait. But during that, I saw something that made my heart soften up. Before the game started, still at parade rest, I saw some football players getting on one knee and praying. It brought water to my eyes to know that they asked God for guidance. One was a sophomore and the other two that prayed together were seniors. It was very humbling to see that and it just got me thinking. Maybe these people aren't so bad, why am I afraid to be around them? Why do they curse and do all these bad things? Why have I judged them ? Why? Why? Why?
Ever since I learned you were in His hands, I knew you were going to be okay.

For the past few days I've been on the phone with some sisters and it's funny because it's occurred a few days in a row now. It's very re-insuring and has given me the strength to move on from my troubles knowing that ,especially, these two sisters have been checking up on me and that they've been praying for me. It's also nice being aware of our growing friendship, I've never really had the opportunity to talk to these sisters outside or even inside of youth, but it's really cool talking to them. And who would have thought that even though I barely SEE these sisters, that I'm already so comfortable and can really open up with them? It's so amazing living in God's grace and being aware of what he has done for me. It is truly a blessing.
Completely consume me Lord, completely consume me Lord I am the clay, You are the Potter I am the child, You are the Father
The only thing I want is to be captured and surrounded by your love Oh Lord won’t you consume me The only thing I need is to be captured and surrounded by your love Oh Lord won’t you consume me completely
Why can't I find any other embed videos on this !?
So four days after the CFC Youth general assembly, I feel so good. I was so emotional throughout the whole thing, I just missed the feeling so much. I was so happy to see everyone's beautiful faces and to just be around them. Tears always found a way to my eyes, from blessing the food to the sharings, discussion groups and to the closing worship. So here I am now, still struggling to pick myself back up, but life's good. A sister from south and I started emailing one another and it feels so good talking with her. I honestly never had a real conversation with her, not even stand next to her for more than a few minutes! But wow, she is so amazing. I'm so interested in knowing more about her and just speaking with her more often (I wish I had a cellphone! ><) She's on a retreat right now so she hasn't responded to my last email, but the feelings of reassurance is sweet. (: goodnight.
