It surely has been one heck of a weekend and it just flew by, too! Did I also mention that it's already Wednesday? 'Cause I don't ever seem to forget to mention the day that I'm currently writing on even if it already tells you. ha-ha. Anyway, I really enjoyed a weekend filled with tons of laughter and friends...
Seriously, these girls have a crazy sense of humor that never seems to die out. Love it though.
I also received this little note from Natalee, a girl in Sunday school. The sweetest little thing. Who knew that a little note like this could be so encouraging!

I'm the pursuer.
I love it when someone else takes the initiative to talk to me or the effort to try to hang out with me - not that I'm so important, but because I feel like I'm always the one that's trying to do those kinds of things to my friends. It's not bad, but sometimes, it's tiring, you know? And when I'm trying to make an effort to be a friend a certain person and they say things like, "I have no friends" "I have no one to call" ..... it's like, dang, c'mon.
It just feels nice when someone wants to know how I'm doing or what my life has been like - not just because I asked them first.

... because persistence is good. No, it's great!
As I read from my bible these days, I feel like I'm reading a bunch of totally new things that I've never read before. Maybe that comes from maturity and learning more? I don't know what it is, but it's good to realize new things. I read from the parable of the persistent widow the other day in the book of Luke (ch. 18) and what a scene it was. The widow pleaded persistently and the unjust judge gave justice.
Although context is so important, I'm not really writing about how the widow gained justice from the judge, but more on her persistence. I can't believe I didn't realize this sooner in life, but man ... being persistent is important in all the areas of your life. It's so important in your prayer life, when you read your bible and do your devotions, when reaching out to others, or calling back for job opportunities.
I need to learn to be more persistent in all the areas of my life.
