My Saviour Loves, He Lives

Hey

So I haven't written for 3 days. I think. Something along those lines.
The past 3 days have been kind of hectic but I'll try to recount them as best I can. I guess I have a lot to write right now. A lot in my head that kind of feels like it needs to be put down somewhere. Or said. In some fashion.

So Thursday.
Thursday was a pretty awesome day. A hard day. But still awesome =)
It was the day of the evangelical message and it was pretty tough getting my kids to sit down and listen to the message because a lot of them seem to know it already. And they took the explanation sheet =P So it was pretty cute watching them answering our questions with words out of the sheet. But yea, that's what I mainly remember from the day itself.
As I was leaving after a day of VBC and some drama practice, I saw Katy leaving with her dad and she's usually really shy, partly because she doesn't have the best understanding of english and also she's just small and shy but that day as I was leaving, she said bye to me. And it was with the cutest smile and most adorable face =)
and as I unlocked my bike she got the car window down just to say bye to me again =)
and that I guess was just breathtakingly amazing. Because for one, she never talks and she's really begun to open up. Now that I look at it, on friday, she said her rolecall number. Which is awesome. Usually people wouldn't think it's awesome.
But it is =) because usually we have to call 4 and she just raises her hand. And she's so excited everyday it makes me feel like they're really enjoying it. Which makes us enjoy it =)

Thursday was also our first K-cab training day kind of thing. And the biggest thing for me was kind of seeing how it would go and I was really excited because I'm really excited for k-cab this year because it just seems like the greatest thing. And there's a couple worries that float in my head in terms of k-cab but generally I'm excited. So on Thursday at our first meeting, we were paired up with accountability partners. And mine is Jeffrey.
He might actually be reading this. But I might as well be honest. I guess I was at first surprised and I felt kind of uncomfortable. But I'm kind of looking forward to it. Because this is something different. Something I'm going to have to work at. And that's good. Because all the things that are worth it are things that we have to work at. Real hard. And so i'm excited and yet still struggling with it kind of with God but I'm kind of beginning to understand why God planned it out like this.

That's a general wrap up of Thursday. Onto Friday.

Friday was the pool day. I guess the whole day I was kind of waiting up to the pool because well...it seemed pretty exciting going to the pool with my kids =) It was. One or two things that were kind of strange and kind of made me feel...maybe that's for another time. But it was mostly really good.
I guess when you think about it, it was fast. The fact that a whole week has passed. Half of it's gone. Just...gone. And it's kind of sad in a way because I tend to think about each day as it goes by with a mindset of kind of getting to the next station and having fun with the kids but at the end of it all I guess i'm sad because it feels like it's actually been really short.
I'm excited for this following week.

Fellowship yesterday was also pretty awesome. We did worship outside. It felt...bold I guess but not even bold but it felt so natural. Worship outside purely acoustic with everyone kind of like doing whatever they wanted like sway or clap or whatever and it felt so...easy. Like there was no AV to worry about and it was just so much more simple. But I felt kind of weird when I was running around playing the sports and sweating like mad. I guess I felt kind of weird in the fact that I wasn't really talented in the sport and yet I was being a little crazy. And I was probably really sweaty. =\ But I met someone new. And it's probably the first new person I've never met before that I talked to more than a simple introduction. It was pretty awesome. Ryan's cool =) Won't add him on Facebook though. Not at this point. And probably because I just don't go on facebook anymore.

After fellowship I walked to Simon's house to put down his guitar and then we walked to Steph's house. For the sleepover. That we've been planning for a while kind of.
So while we walked we talked. And I guess it was something that I needed to talk about but didn't know how. And thank God that I have awesome brothers. I guess I talked mainly about the whole girl issue. And I haven't come to a solid conclusion. I haven't. I kind of wondered a lot about it today.
I guess i'm going to have to tell her. I owe it to her. I do. I just don't know what I'm going to do. Because well...I should. And she probably kind of already knows anyway.
The sleepover was pretty cool. Not what I expected. Sad that the night went by so fast. And the afternoon kind of passed fast. But it was nice seeing everyone sleeping. So peaceful. As if there wasn't a care in the world. While the world spun around and 6 billion people were living their lives.

And in terms of God I've been feeling kind of empty in terms of that. Just like the fact that VBC has been really draining and I haven't been able to spend as much time as I'd like. I'm actually going to go in like 5 minutes so that I can try to spend however much time I want on devos. I feel like I haven't talked to God in a while. Like talked. Just about. And it's different from talking to Sam or simon but it could be just as if not more amazing.

And so I conclude here
It's been a while since I posted
So i made a super long post =)

hopefully I can keep it up.
There's a lot to do. But that's alright.
Goodnight
-Chris
