Christ's Entrusted Servant

k so i think i've prolonged the whole "let's blog about my weekend" long enough. so let's recap about my amazinggg weekenddd

Friday
so fellowship and i drove :) haha got there a little early and helped set up chairs :) it's been a while since i did something so small and felt so good. haha then talked to silas and then i shared before worship started. Wow it was awesome and weird...sitting on the other side. haha but it was just so much more amazing. haha it feels SO good to take a break : P haha sorry rach looks like you'll be taking over for a while :P haha but u're SO good! honestly! haha and jackie is learning how to use the shaker haha. and silas' gtaring always makes me smile haha so pro man. Skit night was mad fun too! : ) i was in a group with daniel, collin, rach, and byron. haha it was so joax, me being stupid and ditzy haha and all the other groups skits were good too! it was AWESOME. haha so joax. i have them all on video :P u want, come talk to me. And the counsellor skit was wicked man. haha tiff was all gangsta and tim was being all nuts haha aww man it was good :) Then after fellowship, i got the phantom of the opera piano book (YES! now i can play) and a cup that TOTALLY describes me haha. thanks.

Saturday
omgsh greatest day EVER. So i woke up at like....7:45...early i know...and got ready for scott missions. I was so excited! i was like excited about it all week! i mean it was so different...never done it before :) ahha so Barry drove me and nat and tommy & joanna down to scott missions and when we got there, we took out all the clothing and what not to bring inside. Then this other couple comes up and wants to deliver some clothes too and since we were already in a line, we offered to bring them in for them. and they were so grateful. They were like...oh wow thank you and they were all smiling and what not : ) it made me so happy. So then we went in and i went downstairs to pack and store and bag food. I must admit, at first i was like...aww i wanted to cook. But when i went down there, i was like..WOW so much food! there was like..an IMMENSE amount of food. and i felt this little tug from God and He said, "I want you to be down here. I have great plans for you." And i smiled because i knew that God never EVER breaks His promises. So first i was bagging rice with tiff and natalie and it was so cool : ) haha it was so much fun just talking to them and getting to know them more and serving with them. It's so different when you're doing something so small with people and you can fellowship so easily. And it was also awesome serving with nat, totally diff serving with someone from school. We were very productive : ) haha and the gloves were mighty tight :P haha and i have sweating problems. hahaha tiff & nat would know : ( Then we bagged granola bars and barry came to join us and help us : ) it was just so cool fellowshiping with them and serving with them.

The whole feeling of humility came upon me, knowing that I'm only doing something so small, yet God can do great things with it. As I bag those granola bars and the powder milk and the rice, I wonder who's going to get these and how big of an impact it would make on these people. I remember one thing that nat said that day that I honestly wouldn't forget. After seeing that people come in here to eat and to find a place where they can just come in for a meal she said, "I feel so happy for them, that they get a place like this to eat" It may not seem much, but at that point, i knew God was using us in His big awesome plan. Isn't that amazing? God, who is so BIG and so AMAZING decides to use US in his plan. Totally blown away man.

Scott missions totally made my week : ) watching so many people do such little things so willingly is amazing and very humbling (is that a word?) And fellowshiping is even better haha so many good times : )

the rest of the day ended well with worship practice and my first time playing piano for sunday service and then my second uncle's wedding reception. ahha totally hype and fun haha dancing was awesome. haha and the DJ rocked. even my PARENTS were dancing. haha that says something. hahahahaha and dessert was AMAZING. i'm a big fan of dessert. haha yummy

Sunday
SO played piano for worship haha i think i should stick to singing and give sam back the piano haha. Dr. Dennis spoke and his message was so inspiring. To bless or to curse. To have a balance of everything. To be a CES (Christ Entrusted Servant) and not a CEO (I don't know what this stands for : P) and then jw sunday school : ) I love JW teaching sunday school haha it's so cool. we took a spiritual gifts test and my top two are music and prayer. and my lowest was leadership..hmm is God trying to tell me something here? But one thing that STRUCK me was the question:

Did God entrust me with this responsibility?

one of my biggest fear is serving in a specific area because I want to, not because God wants me to. Perhaps God has called others to serve, to do a better job.

so yes tonz of lessons this week :) God's taught me

that the little things matter as much as the big things,

that He has called all of us to do something different

that He chose to put us into His plan (wow)
