I Have a Tendency to Make Myself Laugh

Friday: Friday was really relaxing for me. Pastor Lyn-Felice’s parents were in town so I didn’t have Caleb. Now don’t get me wrong I love the boy… he is one of the cutest kids and he’s sweet and smart… but… I was so excited to get some real rest. The Lord obviously knew that I needed extra rest; He knew what was in store for me this weekend! So I slept in, did a bit of laundry… and by a bit I mean just enough so that I could avoid stinking! I watched a movie and took my time getting ready for my date. Vincent came nice and early and we didn’t really know what we wanted to do. We already committed to babysitting Tay and Aysia but that wasn’t until later in the evening. So we decided to go to my office and visit my mom and dad and play Jenga (which I had never played). So we get all the way down to Everett and we say hello to everyone. After exchanging pleasantries for only a few minutes we went to my office and started the game. I lost the first game right out the gate. No joke full on just knocked that tower over. The second game I was less cavalier and I ended up beating him pretty good. So, naturally because of the way Vincent and I are we decided we should bet something because we had a tie. I didn’t feel like playing for a point because, to be honest, I wasn’t too confident in my Jenga skills. So we talked about a few things we could bet. We discussed maybe the loser buying the winner a blizzard. We eventually thought that wasn’t a very big deal because if he won then who cares… he would have bought it anyway. So we just blew it off or the conversation fizzled… whatever (is whatever I know, I know) bottom line we didn’t agree to anything, but we still played the game. I inevitably lost it by just being too careless and then out of nowhere Vincent starts talking about how I’m going to buy him a blizzard. He just is on me about it until I finally just gave in and agreed to buy him a blizzard. While I wasn’t thrilled I maintained, because bottom line ladies, sometimes we just need to pick our battles. So then for about 10-15 minutes Vincent was being “mean Vincent” which I can definitely handle and sometimes find it to be a bit endearing. However, this time I was not feelin it. He eventually let up and we ate our blizzards and hung out a bit until it was time to go to the Simmons. The kids were good. Pastor D made us pasta and the kids ate with us. Then we watched… I don’t remember what it was called… or really what it was about… all I remember is that I liked it… it was about vegetables… sort of. Well anyway after watching the kids Vincent and I hung out and then I went home.

Back to Sunday: After the alter call Bishop really felt on his heart that we should have an evening service. Everyone pretty much agreed that they didn’t want to quench what the Spirit was doing and that we would all meet back at the church at 6:00. So after hanging around a bit after church the little brother and I set out for some cheap food, board games, and a little nappy nap nap. We did all of those things and it was simply splendid… my little one has really been being a nice brother lately and I appreciate all of his loveliness. I woke up after a 20 minutes nap/I didn’t really nap I just rested my eyes time and quickly got ready for the evening service. I got to church and did all my church business stuff and sooner than I really anticipated it was time to begin. Praise and worship was good. It took the people as a whole a while to enter in but they got there and really began to worship. Then Bishop came and delivered a word on relationships and purity. It was a good word and when it came time for the alter call the response was overwhelming. God really showed me that people do what to have purity in their relationships. They just need the strength to obtain it and continue in it. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God delivered many people last night. Now it’s just a matter of hanging on it what they received. After service I hung out till Vincent was dismissed… Ahh the life of an armor bearer/future preacher’s girlfriend… eventually I will sit and wait with all the wives… but for now Lindsay and I will have to be “the leaders girlfriends club”. Catchy title huh? I just came up with that one on the fly. Then Vincent and I hung out and we had a great time together. Really just when we think that the level we are at is good God throws us in a new one. Really He just doesn’t let us get comfortable. It’s good though. We’ve only been together for about 4.5 months and we are already emotionally at about 1 year status… it’s crazy… but that’s God.
