Hi! Last night, I happened to be looking through some Instagram photos, and one of them was of the Eiffel Tower. My six year-old sister was looking over my shoulder (of course).
She looked at me with super wide eyes and exclaimed, "Is that the Frightful Tower in Texas, Paris?!"
Despite the fact that she was super off in both name and place, I was pretty impressed. What six year-old knows about Paris, Texas?
Well, I just wanted to share that because it really put a smile on my face.
No, it was not the smartest choice on my account, but I was quite hungry. I made a huge mistake of eating two cold-ish (and not to mention 5 day old) McChickens yesterday. Now I've spent the whole day feeling queasy and very nauseous.
Anyway, lesson learned. Never eat cold/old McDonald's. Ever.
Over the weekend, my church co-hosted an awesome youth conference. In past years, my favorite parts of this conference was probably food or games. But this year, the most enjoyable part of the conference was definitely worship.
We had these crazy, super long worship sessions with song after song about how great our God truly is. I found myself really connecting and focusing without getting distracted. I think I may have matured some since last year, haha.
And the crazy thing was that I was supposed to be on the worship team this year, singing and playing keys. But the day before the conference started, I started sneezing and nose-blowing a lot. Of course, being the sickly child I am, I got sick. At first, I thought I was totally letting God and the worship team down, so I felt pretty bad about myself and my horrible immune system. Then, I realize that God was, in fact, giving me a gift and letting enjoy the beautiful worship sets during the weekend. He was giving me a chance to reconnect with him. And I am very grateful to Him for that.
Here were some songs that I really enjoyed worshiping to that were in the worship sets this year...
"Forever" by Kari Jobe - This song pretty much makes me tear up every time I hear it. It has such a powerful message about how Jesus came back to life and how perfect he was.
"This is Amazing Grace" by Phil Wickham - I love this song because the lyrics are just so overwhelming. It really is amazing that someone (Jesus) would love me so much that he would take my place and bear my cross.
"Deep Cries Out" by Bethel Church - This is definitely an awesome song to dance to, and I especially love the part when they sing, "If He goes to the left, then we go to the left, If He goes to the right, then we go to the right"
