Sunday: Woke up, went to Ecclessia, heard an amazing sermon on sexual purity, and it was National Porn Awareness Sunday, sponsored by xxxchurch.com We watched a video with NFL athlete's who are open about their struggle with sexual addiction, it was inspiring to see what God is doing!
Monday: Our God is Greater!
Woke up, had just enough time to get dressed grab my stuff, hit the road, I had to fill up on gas. $3.55/gal, could be worse. I felt pretty out of it and kinda just going to internship, then the worship cd that was playing caught my attention, the song Our God is Greater.
I was instantly flooded with memories and emotions of this past summer when I first heard this song. The words of this song gave me great comfort this past summer when I was the video guy at a church camp for Florida Central District and was going through the height of the storm during my summer. I had just finished grueling weeks of balancing, two summer school classes, mowing Lawns three days out of the week, and working video at Shepherd Community the other two days. In other words I was spent! This was also the week before my grandfather passed away. As I listened to the song on my way to work I was just overwhelmed with God's love and power and reminded of the trials he has gotten me through, how easily I forget sometimes.
My toe
So its Monday night, just get back from work down some food, then I board over to the school for a production meeting, I get their and my roommate forgets his binder, I tell him I can get it quicker on the long board. I skate back, I'm about to the steps of my apartment and I think I can power slide to a stop and run in, I miss the stop and my right foot kicks forward from the momentum kicking the bottom step. I foot throbs! I pause for a second wondering if it broken, I think its alright and run up stairs get the binder. I feel my toe to see if its alright, its still in a state of shock, I start boarding back to school and realize, this HURTS! Its not broken but really bruised, like the worst toe stub of my life. I have to limp back home after the meeting. I get back and examine it, no bones sticking out, its swelled, and bruised. I make some ice in a zip lock bag and then prop my foot up.
I take it easy for the next couple days, but find it ironic that I have been learning humility and have this happen in which I have to stop and rest, and rely on others to help me along. Thanks God! and who ever said you don't have a sense of humor...
Friday
Went to work, average day printed scripts, and answered phone calls. That evening though my roommate Gordon and I had planned to hang out, we went on a raid for scrap wood to have a bon fire on the beach Saturday! we ate some freezer pizza after work, then set off armed with flashlights and head lamps. First couple of stores nothing, then we went behind a K-Mart, some broken pallets, score. We realize we might need a hammer or something to break them down so they better fit in our car. We go to Target I but a hatchet, and he bus some hot dog scours to cook over the fire. We drive to another shopping area to search for more wood. We find some more broken pallets, score again!
On the way back we are exhausted and have my back seat and trunk full of wood. We see a Yum Yum donuts that is open 24 hours, we can't resist we stop and get some freshly made donuts!
Saturday- Beach Day
Went to the beach with our production group to just hang out and get to know each other. Gordon, Tim and I go early to save a fire pit, and start setting up the fire wood. Another beautiful sunset, Man I'm blessed to see this so much! I just enjoy sitting and watching it go down over the vast ocean!!! God is cool, he made that big body of water!
