My Verdict- Not Guilty

Not Guilty by Mandisa  Click it! :) 


     I can already tell that this week is going to be an interesting one.  This past Sunday, I finally drug myself out of bed (it wasn't too bad this time, the band got home from Georgia around 10:30) and went to church at Lakeview... and I'm so glad that I did.  The songs that we sang during "big church" (yes I still call it that haha) were so motivational and I definitely could feel the Holy Spirit.  We sang "Glory to God", "Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns, and the choir sang a song called "Not Guilty" that brought tears to my eyes.  I didn't know this, but it's by Mandisa which inspired the blog entry named "Stronger" that I wrote few weeks ago... you know, the song that they played in my Butts and Gutts class?! I'm not used to singing contemporary songs like this in church... but I LOVE it.

     On Sunday afternoon, I had a meeting for the Give Kids the World (gktw.org)  trip that I'll be going on from December 11-17.  They made us do a trillion activities that were supposed to build teamwork, like guiding a blindfolded person verbally to go through a "mine" field filled with squeaky toys, being "stranded on an island" and the only source of food was in a hole that we could only use specific materials to retrieve it, having to jump rope as a team (sadly, we failed at that ha), and a few other things as well.  I've been kind of hesitant about going on this trip, because I don't know anyone on the team... but through those frustrating activities, I believe that we will work great together considering how patient and supportive everyone was.  We were sent the itinerary the other day, and different people will have different jobs.  They have events for all of the kids each night and we get to help with the events such as Halloween night, Big Splash Bash, Gingerbread House, and I think there's other things.  The things that appeal to me are working at the Horse and Pony thing, La Ti Da Spa, and the Story Time Corner.  But if I don't get placed in those specific places, I will be fine with working wherever I'm placed! Thank you to all of the people that gave money for my trip... I raised $125 over what I needed.  I would love to thank you all in person, but the organization didn't tell me any names by which it was given... but I am so thankful and thank you all so very much!! Thanks for being so supportive of me. The extra money will go towards the organization, most likely other people's trips that couldn't raise the required amount.
     
     Lately I have been in the process of making two big decisions, so please I ask you to keep me in your prayers!  One of them has to do with my current major, and I think it will surprise many people :) But I'm still in the process of figuring it out and I want to make sure that I've made up my mind completely before I tell alot of people about it. But I'll let y'all know how it goes!  I sure am looking forward to Thanksgiving next week!

My verse of the week:
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!  No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.  And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10: 12-13
