Best Weekend By Far

Friday:  Last Friday night was the last night of Living Proof and it was by far one of the best nights I’ve had in a really long time.  The atmosphere the whole night was amazing, although everyone was sad that it was the last night of something that changed almost everyones lives in such a significant way.  Mike’s message was so good and heartfelt, i was so surprised he didn’t cry (no offense mike) but if i was in his place i don’t know if i would even be able to look at anyone and not have water and snots coming out of all everywhere.  I was telling myself before i got there over and over that i wouldn’t cry because there’s so much too look forward to, but once he brought the leaders up i started to tear up (i don’t normally do this).  But once he said the last couple of words of the letter and that it was from Dan i immediately started crying, and so did almost everyone around me.  I will never forget my first time walking through the LP doors and seeing that hundred foot tall stage and everyone with such young faces and lame musics and the years between then and now.  So many of you have been such amazing friends and mentors to me, i cant even begin to thank you enough.  But anyways, the music was by far the best I’ve ever heard them play, it was so amazing and seeing everyone fall to their knees before God.  The worship was so good i don’t think i’ve been involved in anything as great as that, everyone was sobbing and pouring their hearts out and so enthusiastic about God working in so many of our lives and how awesome it has been to be able to go to such an amazing youth group; even though everyone was standing so close together and no one could hardly breathe it was so hot and sticky, but no one really cared and i loved it, everyone was all sweaty and gross and pouring their hearts out to God together.  LP has changed and improved so many peoples lives I don’t think Mike and Rachel will ever understand how meaningful it is to so many of our lives.  They have done so much and put so much in LP, i cant even imagine how amazing Cinema Church is going to be once its on its feet.  I’ve heard by so many kids that LP saved their lives and that the new guy has so much to live up to because of how awesome Mike and Rachel have been.  

Saturday:  Yesterday (Sat) was a really sad day, taking down and throwing away what was LP, and seeing all the signs and crosses and little things used over the years hidden in the back with all the spider webs.  So many things i saw brought back such good memories, i want to hold onto forever.  And i remembered some of the people who used to come to LP and kind of wondered what they were doing at that exact second and hoping i would see them sometime in the future to enjoy these memories with.  I cant believe LP is already over, its really hard to no longer look forward to Friday nights.  I really hope i see everyone still as often as we used to, because id hate to loose some of you.  
Anyways, Saturday night got better when a few girls slept over at Rachel’s.  We played fun games and had some really good laughs (even though i could not seem to get how to play the game, and Rachel picking at every little thing, ridiculous!).  lol…  I love all you guys.

Sunday:  By far one of the best morning ever.  First of all, i woke up to Randi asking me if i wanted coffee and what kind i wanted, (best way to wake up ever).  Coconut coffee is my favorite.  Then we headed down to the church in Massachusetts in Meredith’s car which was a lots of fun singing a lots with Randi and Stacey.

 

I thought the church was amazing, i loved so much of it, just to name a few things:  the music, the backround-ness for lyrics, the theatre duh, the pastor and his sound effects, the pastors orange chair, the sign language-er, the kid caller thing.  I really liked it.  I cant wait for Cinema Church to get into a theatre and being able to set it up all awesome.  :]!  

 So then i had to go to my Aunt’s house, which wasn’t as bad as i thought i would be, but still pretty boring when there’s no one your age and all you can do is sit and listen to your mother talk on and on about nothing important, lol, sorry mom but its true.  And then on the car ride home my stomach was like i hate you and i got all head-achey and gross, but now i feel better and exhausted.  Pray that tomorrow goes better than i think it will be; and after tomorrow night I’m done with drivers ed, yay.   So thats an update of my life, almost.  Since i haven’t posted in like years.

PS: Are we going to start that bible study again with Rachel?  Or is it like over?
