Well its been a week since my last post, which still makes me one of the more consistent bloggers.
So I think some stuff happened this week. yeah maybe.
Prom was pretty sweet I won't lie. Solid, solid event to end high school dances. Even if that storm was crazy and made us miss a limo stop and have to move dinner indoors. Amanda was a great date, the event was fine, even if we do basically the same thing each prom, and the dance was the best dance of the ones that I have been to. All in all, a pretty sweet night. Oh and white tuxes are legit.
I am trying to remember what else even happened this week. I have spent a lot of this week pretty stoked spiritually. I have heard quite a few good sermons this week, so that was awesome. I've gotten a lot of stuff to think and pray about, and I really like learning, you know, putting some stuff in the ol' toolbelt, to use a nice cliche. Mmm I just get excited thinking about it, and I wonder what God is going to do with it.
So New Vintage yesterday was cool, I have a few things to say about it. First off, I played guitar there for the first time, and we had a great time in worship, which was great. A bunch of people complemented me, which I thought was odd because I personally think I did horrible, but okay. Leo did a good job leading.
Secondly, we had a guest speaker who gave a great word. It was about Elisha, leaving his field, his farming, behind, in order to follow Elijah and do God's work. The point was, there was nothing wrong with Elisha's life before, he was a farmer, but out of nowhere, God gave him the opportunity to step out and do something impacting. The point was even though your life might be good, don't overlook what God's doing, He might have something different planned for you, so don't be afraid to step out of comfort zone, your field per say, and follow him. (Obviously led by God leave your field, don't do something just to do something). So we were challenged with that at the end in a short term way, how are we going to step out and make summer of 2011 different than others, but all I could think was that I'm getting ready after summer to step almost totally out of my comfort zone and go to college where I know next to no one. Basketball is a comfort zone for me, but I'm stepping out of that to try and play at the next level. I mean, when was the last time I wasn't guaranteed a spot on a team? High school I already knew what team I'd be on every year, knew my teammates, knew the coach. Then I have been thinking, where am I going to go to church? I don't know, but I know I should get plugged in quickly. So yeah, I will be getting out of my field next year for sure.
I also would like to get into more guitar playing soon. Hopefully this summer. I guess i just like to see constant improvement in what I do. Heck, I will go on this tangent from the odd start to this paragraph. I like seeing tangible improvements in my activities. Obviously not when I am chilling with friends, that would be weird to mark improvement in relationships(can you say stalker). But other than hanging out with friends and watching tv some, everything else I do involves improvement. I work out and eat a certain way to keep myself in improving shape, I practice basketball, I do Biblical/spiritual reading/watching in order to improve my knowledge and relationship with Christ, and I sing and play guitar to improve at music. I like all of those things, but I could not be satisfied with staying the same at any of them(at least for a long while in bball and fitness). I suppose that is a good thing.
