Happy Thanksgiving from AA!!
It's been super quiet (but to be honest, I like AA like this :D ) and still really fun.
I wish I could've had more time to myself. I haven't had a ton of alone time because I've been with family. My cousin's been over since Thursday, so we've been together a lot, but at the same time it's been really enjoyable. She's super cool. I forgot how funny she was.
So updates!
I had dinner with family on my mom's side who live in Ypsi. They have such cute kids... for some reason, though usually I'm not often super playful with kids, but it was just so much fun this time.The rest of break was pretty random with the things I found myself doing+ the people I found myself hanging out with.
Yesterday a bunch of friends and I went to the mall, and I ended up just buying a lot of summer clothes because they were on sale, ahahaha~ I really shouldn't go shopping when I feel girly or I end up getting a lot of cutesy things. But I actually ran into one of the students in Velocity who was at the mall with his two sisters and was incredibly bored. He told me he was there for two hours so I definitely abandoned my cousin+my friends and took him away from his sisters without them really knowing, ahahaha... So that was pretty cool (:
And afterward we went back to my place and demolished the apple cheesecake I made while eating it with spicy korean ricecakes and tea. We got a chance to hang out with a bunch of GA people who've been around on campus too. It's been really fun getting to interact with a bunch of people I normally don't usually come into contact with. It was really random but fun! Even now, I'm hanging out with a lot of FoPact people, it's really awesome.
So rewinding back to Missions Week convictions, I can only be so grateful. A lot of things ran through my mind and really rocked me last Friday... some really crazy things that I won't get into here, but you should definitely ask me about them, really!! Honestly, I have been humbled to the max and really encouraged by all that God has speaking to me about. One big conviction is that I really want to grow in prayer. If my prayer life could consistently be how like those really intimate and genuine times that come around with these sorts of events... wow. I really want that though. There is just so much in my relationship with God that I found I really want to grow in.
And God's been so good in sustaining that conviction for prayer. More recently, these past few days of break have been hard because my time isn't my own, but I'm coming to realize how much I need those quiet times to myself and make them for myself. Keep me accountable any LCGs who are reading this!!
Sorry, these thoughts are really scattered @_@; I would love to say more, so you'll probably hear me talking about a lot of these things our next lifegroup. I miss you guys a tonnnnnn......!!! Have a healthy, fun and God-centered break and I'll see you soon (:
