new
I recently got very inspired to have a blog. thank you Laura. :)
well I was thinking about a lot of things last night. I had a sleepover with Laura and we stayed up until six in the morning just talking. we talked about life, love, friends and all that good stuff. But i really feel like a got to see and hear a side of her that i knew was there but never got to experience it. I always love hearing what people have to say and how they feel.
anyway... i wanted to talk about church last night. Bethany spoke and it was really an eye opening word. she talked about Sampson and how he got so full of himself and so blinded by his accomplishments that he did not even feel that God had left him. and as Bethany was saying that is a scary thing. Sampson also got so caught up in his love and looks and strength and himself that he didn't even know what was happening right under his nose. I feel like that's how we can get sometimes. we look at ourselves and just that thing. weather its a relationship or our looks we can let it overtake us. We (myself included) let the world overtake us. and sometimes it feels like: "yes, can i have a heaping entree' of Val, and Jesus on the side? thanks." and i believe that that as how so many of us can get. just blinded to a point where we don't even realize whats going on. I have so many friends that are just at that point, and it just scares me. I think it's hard to get those people out of that hole. Like how do you do that? what do you say to them? What do you do? these are the questions that we need to ask God, and ask friends.
Last night i led worship, and i feel like it didn't matter weather it was good or bad. or weather i messed up or not. I felt like it was for the first time in a long time, just for God. And i liked that. I didn't mind that there were like 12 people there and that half of them weren't paying attention. Haa for a second i said to myself really? why are you guys so rude, but then i remembered that it was all for God. my Creator, my love, my all.
