Feelings I get in church............

Something I have noticed is that every time I go to church.....I get tears in my eyes. Sometimes I get tears in my eyes b/c it's so beautiful. Other times I get tears in my eyes b/c I know I have broken His heart, and it kills me. Man, there are so many things I need to fix and so many things I need to learn. The power of mercy and grace. Forgiveness. Peace. To be able to forgive freely, completely, and instantly. That's the Gift of Christ. To have peace...withholding from grudges, grief, and guilt. That's the Gift of Christ. Sacrifice. That is a word that means so very much. Sacrifice is meant to feel good. To give something up for a greater good. In every relationship you will ever have in your life.....to sacrifice is truly powerful. Whether it's the relationship you have with God, a best friend, your mother, father, your husband, your wife, if you can't learn to sacrifice then your relationship is not even close to how good it really can be. Also, to sacrifice....isn't to complain and sulk....about giving something up. Sacrifice is being proud and honored and willing to give!!! Giving. In this world there are a lot of givers and there are a lot of takers. We need to be balanced, to be able to give and to receive. The gift of giving. It feels good.

Huh? I must really be losing my mind........

So, I went to the Varsity last night and then to the Station. It was soooo much fun!!!!!! I laughed a lot! Well, my friend Mollie was with me and about 30 minutes or so before the place was about to close, this guy comes over to me and leans over....he says...."I'm not trying to be mean but......." My mind starts flashing!!! What could he possibly be about to say?? Am I ugly? Not a cute outfit? I mean, what could possibly be said to a stranger when you aren't "trying to be mean". So, he continues to say..."......why were you sticking your tongue out at me at the bar earlier?" Here's a re-cap of the conversation.

Weird Guy: I'm not trying to be mean, but why were you sticking your tongue out at me at the bar earlier.
(I'm confused on what type of tongue he is talking about? A mean tongue? or a trying to hit you tongue?)
Me: Huh?
Weird Guy: At the bar earlier, you stuck your tongue out at me....why?
(At this point, I am positive he is speaking of a mean tongue)
Me: I don't knowwwwwwwww you!!! Who are you? What?....What are you talking about?
(Mollie's in the background laughing)
(Weird Guy is looking at me in astonishment that I am playing "dumb")
Weird Guy: We were just up at the bar, and you looked over at me and stuck your tongue out at me.
(I am super duper confused at this point. How could I have just done this? I don't do stuff like that?? And how come he doesn't look familiar at all??? I think I would have remembered your face if you pissed me off bad enough for me to stick my tongue out at you.)
Me: I DON'T KNOW YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(He walks off)
(Mollie at this point is dying laughing....like, so hard she can't even get the words out)
Mollie: It...hahaha....it was....me!!!!!
Me: Huh? What?
Mollie: hahahahaha.....I stuck my tongue out at him and made a face earlier....hahaha
Me: HAHAHAHAHAh.....why?????? He thought it was meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
(I caught him looking back b/c we were dying laughing.....I pointed my finger at Mollie....hahaha)
Me: It was herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
(Confusion all around....can tell he still thinks it was me)
(Apparantly he was checking out Mollie's friend fixing her boobs or something)

......What a weirdo........


ONE MORE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we first got to the station......Mollie and I went to the little girls room. We were walking back over to the bar and I could tell Mollie couldn't see where her boyfriend was, so I motioned in his direction. Well, she continues to the bar......(you are going the wrong way Mollie!!!) She walks up behind this guy.....and BAM.....she gooses him! CHECKS HIS OIL!!!!!! He turns around....not her boyfriend....and there was a girl standing next to him......ewwwwwwwwwwww!
