"Getting into You" by Relient K

So its been a little bit since last I posted but such is life, who would have thought that going to a small town like this would keep me so busy.

I've been doing a lot here and there movie night not terrible, but I didn't like the movie Seven Pounds as much as all those who ranted and raved about it but I figured out the ending of it pretty soon into it. Today and yesterday (and Thursday actually) a main part of my time has been spent working on my sermon for tomorrow I'll tell you all how that goes once it has gone.

Other than that I met some of the other local youth staff that will be at the teacher's meeting for the upcoming youth camp at the end of the semester. After dinner (thats what they call lunch around here) we went to a baby shower for Amy (Phil's wife) who is set to pop at any time according to the doctor, which will guarantee an interesting time for me as Phil's go to minister at the church. We sang (me and phil did anyway) from a hymn book while the ladies had their fun which was nice though nerve racking (those of you who really know me understand). After which I practiced my sermon (preaching to an empty auditorium) for the next 3 and a half hours or so, during that time I also prayed over the room that the God would send His message through me and that He might be glorified in their lives.

After that we Phil went for an MNO (minister's night out) on the crazy town of Meredosia. I mean we painted the town red (which suprisingly didn't require much paint). We ended up at a local restaurant named simply "The Approach" and it was great food. After that I rode my bike home on a full stomach (not suggested for all of you novice bike riders out there).

And finally I got to chat with my sister a bit which was wonderful to do I absolutely loved it. I hope to hear more from her as the summer goes on. I miss her the most.

The Song of the Day is "Getting into You" by Relient K, because I heard it today and it was just so reassuring to me. Think about what that song says, we ask God, "Do you know what you are getting yourself into?" and his perfect and beautiful response is "I love you and thats what you are getting yourself into."
