OK so the title is a little scatterbrained, but I have a few different things to tell you about my weekend!!!! First off I am excited to say that I have completed another book of the Bible!!! Yesterday I finished up Acts. It was an incredible book and it really showed me some insight on how the church came to be. I am now back in the Old Testament tackling the book of Leviticus. It is a book of Laws on how we should lead our lives to follow the ways of God. I am looking forward to it and plan on learning a lot!!! I also wanted to catch you up on my reading. On Friday I read Acts 22-25 and Proverbs 13:1-12, Saturday I finished up Acts with chapters 26-28 and Proverbs 13:13-25, today I started Leviticus with chapters 1-4 and Proverbs 14:1-18.
Total change of subjects now....
I told you a couple days ago that I was taking Chase out on a surprise valentines date. Well two things happened that were very awesome so I just had to tell you guys about them. First was when we went out to eat at Ruby Tuesdays we decided to order dessert. We saw on the menu that they have cupcakes as a new choice. We decided to try them and boy were they delicious!!!!! I would recommend them to anybody. Carrot cake and red velvet were the options and we tried both. I think what made them so good was the icing. I literally could talk about these things forever...I wonder if they would give me the recipe to try out on my own? The other cool thing that happened was we went to the Planetarium at Chapel Hill. I had been there before so I had an idea what was going to happen. I never thought that I would feel so connected to God though!!! Just seeing all of the stars and constellations and different galaxies made me realize just how awesome our God really is. He place all the stars in the sky so we could marvel at them and that is just plain cool. I cant wait to get out of the city and go back home so I can just look up at the stars. LOVE THEM.
Yesterday there were some big changes going on. Chase's older brother moved into his own place and we all went over to help him out. He is starting his new job soon and he is excited about it. This is a big step but we all know that he is going to do great. Big prayers are going up from me and Chase and his mom and dad and his girlfriend as he starts this new chapter of his life. Good Luck!!!!
Finally a word about church today. It was so good so I just have to say something about it. We were learning about a passage out of James 3. It talks about taming your tongue and watching what you say. It was like the Lord smacked me upside the head and was like LISTEN!!!! I love when that happiness. I am not a perfect person and yes I admit I sometimes have a comment about certain subjects or people. I know that it is wrong and it is something I am working on. This morning's sermon was a big encouragement and this week I am going to focus extra hard on being quick to listen and slow to speak. It will be a challenge but I believe it will be well worth it.
Sorry this post was so incredible long. I just had so much to get out and this weekend was just filled with the love of God. I am praying that this next week goes smoothly and without much stress. Both the girls and boys bball teams play Carolina so it should be a ton of fun. I pray that weather stays beautiful and that everybody has a wonderful week and that their journey is blessed!!!!
