The Wedding, The Week, The Night and The Day After

This post will be separated into four separate parts for clarity and ease of reading/writing. Any thoughts of what those three parts might be?
THE WEDDING.
It was short, sweet and to the point. They got married and she looked gorgeous. The look on his face as she walked down the aisle made my smile smile. You could tell that they love each other so deeply. At one point we all got concerned because my cousin stated "I just can't do this." After a second or two, we all figured out she was talking about her veil, not the marriage. The reception was quite fun the weekend provided a wonderful opportunity to spend time with cousins not in the wedding who usually are way too busy to hang out.

THE WEEK
In a word, amazing. Really. I got to FPC a little early because of transportation and scheduling conflicts and was petrified. I found myself underneath a staircase questioning how God could allow everyone I know to abandon me in a town I don't know. We headed off for camp and I still kept questioning why God would drag me there. However, much to my surprise, God showed up and clarified His plan for my life.
In the end of Matthew, Jesus is talking to the disciples and tells them to preach the Good News in Jerusalem (where they are), in Samaria and Judea (surrounding towns) and to the ends of the earth. Luckily for me, God convicted me of the fact that the end of the earth He's called me to happens to be in Colorado.

THE NIGHT

The last night of The Week was sweet. God also revealed himself in so many different ways, from speaking to every one of my girls exactly how they needed to hear Him to speaking through me to a fellow leader to physically healing an ailment because we asked it of Him. Our small group was literally drunk on the Lord. We were bouncing off the walls and calm at the same time, crazy excited yet at peace. We almost baptized my co-leader in the pond/tiny lake at camp. If I was to explain it all here, the post would be way too long and y'all would think I was crazy. Ask me about it though.

THE DAY AFTER

I came home last night pretty soon after camp and arrived in San Jose at 11pm. Today though, has been almost more tiring than camp. This morning I headed for a quick shopping trip (necessitated) before working most of the day and then attending a wedding shower for my dear friend Alex. I headed from there to see The Dark Knight, and realized that I couldn't process anymore. I spent my entire week trying to slow down and see God in the small things and to watch a movie with so many explosions and loud colors and sounds was overwhelming. I think the film was good, but still need to think about that one. We'll see.
Now that it's over I think I'll begin to process it all. Maybe in a couple days I'll know what all happened.
