Alright, so I haven't had the words to describe how the past month has been, so I'm putting it in list form. Note: wows and pows are highs and lows; the terms were coined in the Bible studies I have led and been a part of. "Wow" is obviously our reaction to awesome things and "pow" is the sucker punch that comes with crappy things. Distractions and pet peeves are self-explanatory. This might be all over the place, but if anything I hope this will make you chuckle.
Wow- My youngest sister placed her faith in Jesus on April 18th (Happy Birthday, Madison)! God answered a four-year prayer.
Pow- Inability to focus and the spiritual warfare that has been raging on.
Distraction- "Liking" friends' engagement/married statuses and stalking their engagement/wedding pictures. I can name off the top of my head 15 couples that are engaged. These do not include those who have already gotten married, those who are going to get engaged, or those not of the top of my head.
Pet Peeve- Speaking of weddings and engagements, it really irks me when a conversation goes like this: Other Person- "Sooo, are you dating anyone?" Me- "Nope." Other Person- "Ohhh. Well there's this one single guy I know who I'm pretty sure loves Jesus. He'd be the perfect husband for you!" I could really go on a rant about this, but I'll refrain.
Wow- Francis Chan sermon. Enough said. Click here.
Pow- The 21 year-old (aka me) having to be the only adult acting like an adult in a professional setting (long story).
Distraction- Hockey playoffs. C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS!
Wow- God coming through financially every. single. time.
Pow- Seasons of refinement...they stink, even though they are for my good.
Wow- Figuring out where I'll live in Rwanda!
Pow- The rather long (and impatient on my part, whoops) waiting to hear back from CTEN.
Wow- Getting a substituting job!
That's what I got. Take it or leave it.
