PRAISE THE LORD! Drifting wood =)

Praise the lord!

Hey =)
Tonight was construction night and we really didn't what it would be about until last night but that was cool =)
I guess I personally didn't know what to expect of it and I wasn't really prepared for it. But god really blessed me with just .....so many blessings
So there was some av mix up with me and Ben and t wasn't too great for my mom because she's pretty stressed out with my sister coming home and stuff.
So I went back home, got there at fellowship just a little earlier and helped out with some av. I'd talk about some stuff but it's confidential. But that's alright =)
Anyways the night started off with worship and it was good =)
And then Simon shared and it was just ....it's amazing when people share because it's just so real =P haha stating the obvious but it's so amazingly true

And then came the actual program for the night and it was building marshmallow towers . Fun =P OH and our CGLs all prayed before we started which I really loved because it's not like we're going into discussion alone and we can all support each other. =)
Tower building was real fun. Really disorganized but fun =). And people you never wouldve imagined just make these super structurally sound things. Awesome =)
And then we tested them. Ours ended up being a giant mound which held up unil the bible. And I guess when I think about it now in amore metaphorical sense, it's true how we really need to build our supports strong because sometimes they're going to some really heavy things that bring us down but that's when our faith is REALLY tested.
So it was afun acvity and I thought wih only 20 minutes left,we wouldn't be able to well discuss in our cell groups. DRIFTING WOOD! =)

It was soooooooooooo good =)
Like Praise The Lord!
There was like more talking during discussion and one guy talked like a lot even though he wasn't from mcbc. I got to know him better later =)
But yea, we got through the discussion and we then split off into pairs. This was like THE most PTL momen of the whole night. I got to know one of my cell group members better and it was so amazing how he was sonopen about his week and his earnest to just come to fellowship even though he wasn't Christian but he wanted to learn more about God and the whole idea of believing in him. And when I talked, he gave me some advice and it was pretty awesome. It humbled me, because even though he was so new to it, he was so opn about it and he gave really good insight. It was like things I already knew but it reminded me that I should be more open with my friends.
And he prayed for me! Even thigh he wasn't christian. I was like Oh My Gosh You Are AWESOME! =)
Crazy awesome stuff

And then there were sharings like heartbreaking sharings and it was just so amazing because it was the true essence of fellowship. My eye got wet. Sadly no crying. But it was so amazing and like the overwhelming-urge-to-hug them kind of joy =)
And even after the night ended, I could see other people praying for each other and just keeping each other accountable. It was an amazing night and it's SO clear that God truly moved tonight. Love GOD! =)
So I need to keep in prayer for people and also that I take the tested to really put love and effort and passion into my devos and prayer.
PTL!
