the weekend that was: insane. friday i learned that adrianne had gone missing (now for seven days), that shaye fields was killed in a car accident, all while in LA on a missions trip. the trip was so good, except for me getting sick halfway through the day of work. on saturday we did so much stuff that it seemed more like three days then just one. we did this thing called "adopt a block" where we split up and went to different blocks around the Teen Challenge Ministry Institute (TCMI, where we were staying) and offered to cut grass, wash cars, and pray for people. it was an awesome experience. then, we did kidz club. for this, our team went to inglewood and set up our bus at a church there. we performed a series of skits/games to teach the kids a lesson of trusting God. then, after some down time, we had an awesome worship service and headed out to Skid Row. yes, THEE Skid Row. we got to hand out food and blankets to homeless people living on the streets there, and it was amazing. it was so cool to see our kids not care and just share the love of God with these people by talking to them and praying for them. this is one experience that i don't think they will ever forget.
where i am at the moment: happy. ready to see where waves are going to be made.
on my to-do list this week: homework. laundry. the usual.
procrastinating about: homework. always.
what god is teaching me: to trust Him. that great things come to those who wait for the right time.
book i’m in the midst of: eat, pray, love. awesome. also, i'm reading through psalm with kayloni and katrina. chapter 3 this week.
music that seemed to catch my attention this past week: the random stuff we listened to in my car to/from inner city LA.
next trip: winter camp!!! =)
how i’m feeling about this week: excited.
