First of all, thanks to everyone that has thought about me or wished me well this past week. I know that I tend to overreact to a lot of things and I can make them seem a lot worse than they really are. Unfortunately, having my car barely hang on a thread on my way home was traumatic enough that I'd respond the way that I did. Even though I am not completely over it, I am definitely feeling much better now! Again, I believe that God has surrounded me with the most awesome people ever and because of that, they are willing to go out of their way to help me. I appreciate just about everyone I know because they in some way shape who I am today.
I think the best thing to happen to me this week was brownies. When someone knows that I'm not enjoying life, then going out of their way to not only make me something, but bringing it to me personally, that's ace. Considering some of the circumstances, I could not have been happier. Thanks! You know who you are (=
Anyways, on Friday night, I got to go to a cool little youth rally at church. It wasn't the biggest youth rally I've been to, but it was plenty fun and cool. I also did not think that I would need to use Calgary transit to get around anymore, but seeing as it wouldn't be fair to have people purposely come drive me to church, that was the best plan. So after getting jipped by McDonalds, I got to church - they gave me a McChicken instead of a quarter pounder, the worst! Getting to plan things are so much fun to do! I think that in the future, I am going to want to try delegating more - the job of a pastor. Haha! But yeah, it was nice to play some games, sing some songs, hear some sharing, all that kind of cool jazz. I'm still not exactly comfortable around the people at the church yet, but I am getting better. I remember last year at CCBC, it still took me a bit of time, but I got accustomed to them really quickly because of how tightly knit the group is and how open they were to accepting me. As SGAC is, it's much bigger than CCBC, so I am still trying to learn the dynamics of the groups to see where I fit in. Regardless, it's really awesome to see that there are some really talented people here. I ended up leading a game, playing some sweet percussion for the worship team, and shared a bit of my story. I felt like I did an awful job of sharing, but I hope that at least one person took something away from it. It was a pretty good night.
Today, I felt really lazy. I said that I was going to phone around to see how long it might take to get my car fixed, but I realized that nothing could be started on until Monday, meaning I had the rest of the day to do whatever. Unfortunately, that "whatever" turned out to be nothing productive. I said that I was going to study for my midterm on Monday; but other than reading the first line of my notes, I did not read another word. Oops.
Tonight, though, I did get to go bowling with a few guys, which was a ton of fun. I hadn't bowled in quite a few years so it was nice to test that arm of mine again. Needless to say, I was rusty but I still managed 2nd of the group of 5 guys considering I botched and slipped a lot of throws out of my hand. It was a lot of fun though, and my hand is a bit tired now.
I get a ride to church tomorrow, meaning that I am very lucky. And so as I am sitting here being put to sleep by the music that I'm listening to, I am probably just going to drift away because I am completely lost in a trance again. Thank you electronica!
Give this a listen! I know a lot of people still don't like electronica, but this song is so soothing.
