What a wonderful weekend! No game, lots of time at the house, lots of time with mah ladies, and lots of time to relax. I had TONS to do, but it was stuff that involved me locking myself in my room and doing it. It was great :)
In a chat with my incredibly awesome, way-too-cool-for-me roommate Jenna Ponsford, I was reminded of why I'm doing this whole Jesus thing in the first place!! This is the general point she made:
"No matter what I'm doing, or how I'm doing it, NONE of it is worth anything unless it's God's will. I can push myself to do something that He doesn't want me to do and I know I wont do it well simply because it isn't His will. I work to be successful at everything I do because it isn't my own will" -Jenna PonsfordFreaking awesome, right? She is so wise to say the least. God had her say that at that to put it on my heart for the rest of the weekend. Why do I want to be wanted so bad? God wills it!!! BUT, the kind of wanting I desire from friends, family, boys... it's not dependable or fulfilling. It is there for a reason, yes, but it isn't what satisfies the desire for love. God put that desire there SO He could fulfill it, because He is the only one who can. JP (Jenna) is so incredible and I'm so lucky to have her creep on me as I sleep.. ahem, I mean have her as a roommate. She is understanding, loving, and freaking hilarious :) I love you to pieces, Jenna!
I had the pleasure of spending Saturday with Alisa Dubinski. Y'all!!! She is so cute. Seriously. Despite hard times that find her, she works hard to keep a smile on her face and share it with others. It cracks me up.. again I reiterate: If you don't know this girl, GET TO KNOW HER!! Alisa, whether you realize it or not, the Lord radiates through your smile and your precious hugs :) Thank you for that!!
Following this I got to hang out with my FREAKING AWESOME BIG Polly :) my gracious do I love this girl and the support she gives me unconditionally. If I had to pick one relationship that resembled the unconditional love God gives, this one would be it. She knows everything about me (especially my faults) and continues to encourage me towards the Lord. Not only that, but she shows me love and encourages me in my talents.. What is better than that??? She is so amazing. Despite her own struggles she works so incredibly hard to be there for me. Best big ever? I think so! Then she put up with her dog Kylie and my dog Bella playing all night.. Needless to say, they were loud. I loved every minute of it :) Polly, thank you for loving me unconditionally and tirelessly. I really don't know where I would be without your encouragement!!! I know I can always come to you with any struggle, joy, or random story and I will always be appreciated. Thank you for always making time for me :)
Well! I just love my friends as seen above. I'm so unworthy of their love, but dang it I'll take it :)
Sunday was awesome. I was up continuing my endless work on PC '10's New Member Presentations and also attending the baby shower at 1:30. MY LITTLE IS SO INCREDIBLE!!! This girl, seriously, is way too cool for me. I am so blessed by her already and can't wait to show her the love I've discovered. Until then, I'll just give her little gifts :)
Looks like it's time for thanks!!
Thank you Lord for my friends!!! Thank you for Jenna and her wisdom and encouragement. Thank you for Alisa and her smile and love. Thank you for Polly and her encouragement and unconditional love!! I would be worthless without these people, but of course You know that because You provided them for me! Thank you for my little, and her smile and her heart for You. Give me the strength, knowledge, and clarity to show You more clearly to her as Polly has for me!!!
To my readers, remember today.. He is jealous for YOU!!
Molly
