I had an amazing weekend!

I love it when God opens my eyes to His movement!
Friday was a California classic! It was warm and sunny and BEAUTIFUL! So I finished work around 12:30 and headed home to change my clothes and run a couple of errands. I went to the Takahashi Farm Stand, which has to be one of my new favorite places. There is something about a sunny beautiful day and eating all the fresh ingredients God gave us to grow. So I got some veggies and fruit. I made the little lady mad though...apparently there is "Bagging" rules, which I didn't follow properly...mainly because I was unaware of the unspoken rule... but I can tell you I will never make that mistake again! I spent 8 dollars and got so much stuff. So then I headed to the grocery store and I had a few more stops. It was great to sit and eat such a fresh lunch that I made myself (cooking makes me happy!). The girls came over Friday night for a movie night. We watched Madea goes to jail, which is a super funny movie. Lots of one-liners from it. "I know you can't read...but the sign says..."DON'T FEED THE MONKEYS"...

Saturday I had lunch with another great friend God has given me. I just love the leisurely flow of a beautiful spring day! I think that is what makes each little thing seem so picturesque...like its from a movie. Then I had some of the older girls come over to try to find an alternative to going out. Aaron was kind enough to come over and try to teach us how to play Texas Hold 'em. Try...because it didn't go over so well...but we had fun! Lots of fun. I don't know why we don't play games more often.

Sunday was such a good day. Becca got baptized during first service. Liz stood up for herself and was obedient to God. Chelsea had a few victories of her own. Jena supported her friends and encouraged the people God put on her heart. Danica led amazing worship (that song from Leeland is amazing when you do it alone especially!). I got to take a nap. Encounter went great...did something a little different and I really liked it. Brandy and Suzie came to Encounter. Brandy's HERE! Everyone helps at Encounter to put stuff away (I love to see everyone pitch in). Katie might use her BEAUTIFUL voice for the worship team (when God gives you a talent...use it!) It was just really amazing!

I am so thankful for all the gifts He gives us. Read Psalm 139...Really think about it and meditate on it. It is beautiful!
May God bless your day!

Wow!!! I love when you are so happy! I can totally picture your face when you were writing this! I love you and you better not demand me to play the Psalm 23 song because I don't have anything...here....I'll compromise...I'll play Carried to the Table by Leeland if you don't make me make up the song on the spot. Ok?...Ok!
