weekend in cs
after sitting in traffic for a good hour on friday afternoon i finally got outta austin city limits and made the trek to cs. it shouldnt take 2 and a half hours to get to college station but i was anticipating it so my road rage was luckily at a minimum.
the trip was good...got to see friends and eat good food. wings n more, roadhouse, and gumbys cancelled out any workouts from the last 2 weeks but i always make the sacrifice for good food. it seemed like everyone was in town either for nick and sarahs wedding or just for the heck of it. i didnt get to see my mission kids which was extremely disappointing bc i went out to emerald park on sat to pick up kita and she wasnt home but her mom told me she would be on sunday. went to j loop to see those kids..same story. so i went back on sunday and of course..no one at home. i really miss those kids a lot and just wish that i could see them. next time..next time..i at least got to talk to kita on the phone and when we were saying bye she said she loved me without me even saying it first which can count as some sort of a consolation prize for not being able to see her.
so that was the weekend. al, lyd, and cali - thanks for letting me crash with yall - it was so fun as usual! jac - thanks for a great dinner date and for listening to me talk for ages. and i know that you loved sitting in willies corner at the special booth just as much as i did.
on another note...ya know when the Lord is trying to teach you something and you dont really give Him your full attention? yeah..i think that my life has kinda been like that lately and this weekend He really made some things clear to me...things i need to let go of, things that need more attention in my life, things that need less. and i'll be the first to admit that its hard to trust God sometimes bc it can mean that life doesnt get to go the way that you want it...and how much fun is it to not feel in control of your life, right? well, knowing that its in the hands of someone who is ultimately in control is comforting. so..."trust in the Lord with ALL your heart..and lean not on your own understanding...in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." It's always worth it in the end.
