in a world thats so fantastical

sometimes there are weekends that are slow and relaxing...then there are weekends that are jammed pack and very active. Although i needed a relaxing, lazy weekend mine was too awesome to want it to be any other way.  Lets start from the top shall we....

friday - or shall we shall football friday night? ...why yes, yes we should. I have been to many many football games in my short 22 years but never have i enjoyed football as much as i did friday night as i watched the Canal Winchester Indians battle the Amanda Clearcreek Aces. It was a close game all the way from the first touch down until the time clock ran out in which the Indians came out victorious!! My brother had an awesome game! He played most of the game with very little rest time, playing both offense and defense. He had a sack and blocked their extra point (which in my eyes saved the game) I am so proud of Ben! He's a beast! 







Saturday:  After the best football game and a good nights rest i awoke early(ish) to start an adventure to the Ohio Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg with Bobby & Charles. I have been once before when i was about 15 but i hardly remembered it the same. It was a lot of fun! I did however see a lot of man thigh since it was Celtic weekend and men were wearing celts. very gross. Poor Bobby got stung by an evil turkey leg ruining bee...hornet. It could have ruined his whole day but i am glad he is who he is and still enjoyed himself. Bobby & Charles were in boy heaven with all the boy things in sight. Swords, guns, armor, long bows...it was never ending joy! I still enjoyed myself. I even tried my hand at shooting a bow....i wasn't all that bad either. it was really really fun after i sort of got the hang of it.
we followed the Renaissance Festival up with a cold & rain version of a soccer game. I know nothing at all about soccer except the you cannot use you hands and you kick the ball and run a lot. Also that it is really really awesome when you get the ball past the opposing goalie and into the net! Bobby and i saw a lot of kicking and running but never a ball soaring into a net. We left after the first 45minutes. It was rainy and cold and we were tired. We did get to see a girl lick the water off her moms jacket...hilarious. 


Sunday: My alarm went off and i almost cried. My bed felt so nice. But i got up and got ready for church which i am glad i did. Sunday was a great day although i was exhausted through all of it. We played our first sunday with drums and no one got mad! Kait did great even though she looked angry through most of the set ;) she was just really nervous. After church my cutie face boyfriend picked me up and we went to the Wig Wam in Canal for lunch with some pretty great people. I have never been to the Wig Wam but i will definitely be back. It was just a good environment. Then we all went back to the church for fun and Jesus conversation. Ryan spoke about his sermon that i wish i had the pleasure of hearing but even without the full sermon i was still convicted of my complacency with average christianity. I get sick just thinking about how content i am with it. It's gross. It's like having the cure for the common cold wrapped in a box and settling for nyquil. My dad once said you can have as much or as little of God as you want in your life. With everything else in life i want to most and the best of whatever i can have but this free, freeing, radical love affair i chose mere courting and occasional love letters. disgusting


Evening church rolled around way to quickly...i was so spent. but it was so rewarding. i learned so much. I really enjoying my dads teaching. Kait, the bean & i lead worship too which was surprisingly fun. Kait is coming out of her shell at church and i am excited to see where God takes her willing spirit. After church we all went to Kait's and it was a lot of fun. I laughed so much which i really really needed. Then Bobby took me home. It is amazing how great i feel just sitting beside him. He calms me, excites me, and makes me feel like the me i lost a long time ago. He is definitely a huge blessing in my life. I have never enjoyed someone's company nor wanted someone's company as much as i want & enjoys Bobby's. He is an incredible man of God and challenges me to be a better child of God. I love him...yes indeedy.


after such a great weekend i am excited to see what all is in store for this week and to do better and be stronger in my walk with Christ.


                                       If we claim to have fellowship with him yet
                                walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by 
                                the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in 
                             the light, we have fellowship with one another, 
                           and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin 
                                                                                        -1 John 1:6 & 7
