I went to church yesterday and the message was on living by the Spirit. It was pretty great. He said some things that made me view things from a different perspective, which I always appreciate. He brought up the Lord's prayer- how first and foremost it's addressing God as our Daddy. Next it says worship. And thirdly- thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven- that God's will is that earth be like heaven, no sickness and pain- that we live in continual adoration.
There were many other points made as far as living full of the Spirit, and one of the examples he used was being filled with the Spirit- filled like Mary when she conceived Jesus, that we should be pregnant with the spirit. That being filled doesn't just mean to the top, it means overflowing, nothing else can enter in. I enjoyed the concepts. This whole adventure of mine for the past year, almost 2 now, has been figuring out how to live wholly reliant on the direction of the Spirit.
In other news, Friday, Allie- the girl that I invited over to Easter with me, she and I had plans to go to the international music festival. Another woman came into my work on Friday, her name is Pam, she's been having a tough go of it lately, and apparently, that day was a rough one on her. Anyway, I ended up inviting her to come along with us to the festival, to which she'd gratefully accepted. Unbeknownst to me, she had been telling my friend Raina the previous day, that she'd wanted to ask me to hang out, but was worried that I would think she was a lesbian. When Raina told me this, I laughed so hard. Oh my gosh. I would never.
But, we had lots of fun out on the town. I danced with an old man who kept leaning his head against mine to talk to me, but he was covered in sweat, and when I walked away, my hair was soaked, and it was not my sweat. We laughed so much.
And so today, I'm off to the beach with Micah's mom. Should be a fun trip.
