It's amazing what a good sermon can do for you.
At church today (i go to the school's church services every sunday at 5:45 they are supposed to end by 6:15 but they never do haha, but it's okay cause i enjoy them) we talked about the tenth commandment today. but as we are in college we always have a different spin on how it can relate to us. and today we related it to college students by having it be "what about women?"
so that was interesting. we had this one girls mom come and talk to us about it. and i really enjoyed her sermon.
she summed up all the commandments which we have been reviewing throughout the school year.
Just about everything she said, really hit me. I mean in the beginning i was like what in the world, because she made the guys sit on one side and girls on the other, and it was kind of weird.
but then she started and passed out questions to only the girls and like gave us a sermon with the guys there but like not really part of it.
and like i said as she was talking i was just like oh man. wow.
for example the commandment about not being an adulterer.
she was talking about how so many young Christian couples nowadays live together and think there is nothing wrong with it. and i mean i was like that's so true because i know people who do that. but then i panicked because i don't know if that would apply to me. i mean i'm pretty sure it doesn't because i'm not dating Mike or Clayton and we are def not involved at all... so i mean i'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to me at all. but it just scared me for a moment, because if i had a boyfriend and we had been dating for a long time and he asked me to move in with him. i would say no. because i don't believe in living together before marriage. i just don't.
then she went on to say how God is the King of this world and that if he is the King and our father then we are all Princesses. and well i've heard that before but i guess it just didn't stick before because this time i was like wow. i mean my friends were making fun of her saying that afterwards but i was like guys i really liked this sermon. and they thought i was kidding... but whatever. she also went on to tell us how we are all beautiful and gorgeous in our own ways and that made me smile. it was just really inspiring. then she went and did a sermon for the guys. and she told them they were princes then she told them that they should tell girls that they are beautiful and gorgeous and i was like..oh no haha. i mean i have guy friends who were at that service and well if they were just like "sam you are gorgeous" it would kind of freak me out a little. but she also told them that as Christian guys they should keep in mind that one day they will be fathers and that they will be showing their daughters what it means to live for Christ.
it was just such a good service, it kind of made me want to cry. it was that good. i should have told the lady that i really appreciated it.
afterwards when we were all heading to dinner. John was like i dont' understand why she would say that you can tell everyone they are beautiful, i mean that's not always true. (he wasn't saying that to be mean, it's just you know that story about how that girl called him an ugly slut well he was referring to that) and i was like well John did you ever think that she meant that everyone is beautiful on the inside. and he was like ohh... and i was like yeah. then somehow we ended up on the subject of why people say that their feelings come from their hearts and not their minds. (john is a bio major so he likes to be technical about all that stuff ha) so now we all are like "you have a beautiful spleen" or elbow or kidney. instead of you have a beautiful heart lol.
although after i got food and was heading back to the table john was walking with me and he was like sam you have a beautiful heart i was like aww thanks john. then he was like and a beautiful spleen. i was like ahhaha thanks john.
he's so ridiculous. lol
anyways i just figured i would share about the sermon it made me happy and i wanted to tell you
that.
YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS (unless you are a guy in which case super HANDSOME AND GORGEOUS) Person and i love you.
in other news.
i saw Inglourious Basterds yesterday. it was dumb and i hated it. there was too much talking and like not enough explosions. haha. plus all the talking was in french or german and i was like I DON'T WANT TO READ ANYMORE SUBTITLES! gahhh. and then they showed someone getting scalped and it was so gross.
the only good part was when there was this huge fire and an explosion.
at the end.
i really doubt i will ever watch that movie ever again. such a fail.
and only three days of school this week
two days i only have on class
and no work this week since it's "thankgiving" week we aren't allowed to work. super dumb lol
well thats it i need to work on my Greek final draft, my teacher finally sent the rough draft back with comments on friday, he also sent us rules and apparently it is supposed to be no more than 8 pages when before it had to be TEN. i'm not happy but whatever i'll figure it out.
