Romans 5:9-11

Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way. If, when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we're at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life! Now that we have actually received this amazing friendship with God, we are no longer content to simply say it in plodding prose. We sing and shout our praises to God through Jesus, the Messiah!

Day Five.

Today was rather interesting. There was no sweets, besides home made apple pie :) but don't worry, it was a small piece.
It was Andy and Steph's Dinner Rehearsal. It definitely went better than I though. Speeches were awesome!
First, the preparations before hand were splendid, even though it was rather boring. We got everything ready to go, and that's what helped out through the night. Everyone pitched in and made the night wonderful.
There was a family tradition, where we cradle (meaning pick up so they're floating) family members to a song (a slow one..) and we just let them know that family and friends are supporting them no matter what. So we did that to Andy and Steph.
Also we prayed for Steph's mom because she's having chemotherapy after the wedding. So we got around her in family support and prayed. There were also some tears.
Oh and by the way dinner was marvelous! We had home made cabbage rolls, salad, and last but not least perogies. Mmm, and those perogies were amazing! I had five... what? I had no lunch...
Just so you know... there is left overs... lots of left overs. Wicked!
And towards the end of the night I did end up with a starbs drink. BUT it was only a tea, so nice try. And it got cold, so I threw it out. :)

Before I started off my day, I read Psalm 139, both the NKJ and MSG bible. But I have to say, I understand the Message Bible ten times better than the other one.
Anyways, I was a little upset that I couldn't go to church. I just had no ride. But I had to calm myself down (or else it would've ended badly), so I opened my journal and wrote down my thoughts, then I pulled out my bibles and began to flip through. And found Psalm 139. It calmed me down more than I did to myself.
The bible is one of the best places to go if you're feeling down, or stressed or anything. Because God shows you where to look, and tells you to be calm. He's always there for you in tough situations.

And plus I had a feeling that there was going to be a reason as to why I wasn't at church. I later found out that  my cousin Jenn needed to talk to someone. And she came to me. So I was glad that I was able to meet up with her earlier-ish to chat. God had a reason for me, and I found out what it was.
Even though I would've loved to be at church, cause I heard it was a great service, but my cousin needed me and I was glad to be there for her. :)
