Today was such a good, good day. God truly taught me so much. I woke up, and went to sunday school for the first time at my church. We started with singing a few songs, and then we split up into groups. I was in the freshmen girls group, and it was just awesome. I met new people. I learned new things, and most of all I really felt like God taught me stuff. He taught me that in order for me to be in a relationship with really anyone, and for it to be good, you need to put God first in everything you do. You need to make him your number one priority, and from there things will fall into place, and he will bless you beyond measures. After sunday school I went to a great church service. We talked about the Lord's Prayer and specifically the words "Our Father". I learned that he is our procreator. He is the one who imagined us, he is the one who shaped us, and he is the one whose DNA we share. I learned that he is our Protector. He values our life, he stands between us and our enemies, and most of all that he laid down his life for us. And last but not least. I learned he is our provider. He is able to provide like no other person or thing in this world. That his desire is to provide, and His provision is a testimony of his faithfulness. After church I had a meeting about the missions trip I am going on over Spring Break. I am going to New York City, and serving homeless people. I have never been on a missions trip before, and I am so excited, scared, and confused all in one. I am confused because I am not really sure as to why God wants me to go on this trip, scared because I have never been on a trip like this before, and so excited because i get to meet new people, serve the homeless, and most of all serve the lord. I think its going to be great, and a really eyeopening experience.
Today I also got to hang out with my church family. It was sooo great. There were lots of kids, great food, cards, and games, and just a lot of joy and laughter. Every time I hang out with them its truly such an encouragement to me. They all love God so much, and are all so giving and so inviting to everyone. They make me feel like I am at home, and I really cannot ask anymore from them. I am so blessed and today I really realized that.
So this day was such a joy. It was a day filled with love, and laughter, and most of all filled with the Lord. This week I am really going to try and see the small things that the Lord has blessed me with. I'm going to try to spend more time with him, and just really seek him. This should be a good week.
Well until next time folks,
This is Ashley Harris reporting out.
By the way. I love my roommate. Especially when she itches my arms, and listens to my problems, and provides me with fruit snacks every day of the week.
I LOVE how much you've been learning lately. I'm going to kidnap you very soon to talk about leadership things, okay? Yes.
