Shenna had already told me that she'd come with me to the homeschool prom, but I had to ask her in public at youth group.
She's my Doctor Who pal, so I worked up the courage to come up with something funny.
"Make it cheesy! I love cheesy."
I gave her a hunk of cheese. And crackers. With the help of Bekah, Naomie and Skyler, I asked her in front of the youth group.
"She may sound crackers..."
"And this may be a little cheesy..."
"But will you please--"
She said yes! Again! Thanks, Sheener.
Tonight, I had a lot of stuff weighing on me about the future.
And without telling anyone, when Maryanne asked for a volunteer to get prayer, I asked for it. Everyone gathered around and some people laid their hands on me. People were saying stuff like "I feel like you're afraid of the unknown right now" or "You can't see what's ahead and that's really putting pressure on you" and "graduation and all your work is really daunting". Every single word that people gave and prayed brought me peace--that is after I burst into tears.
God is so good. He gives us the right words when we need them the most and I'm grateful.
Song of the Day: The Climb - Miley Cyrus (my friend Micah told me that this is the song she was thinking about when they all prayed for me.) "I can almost see it/That dream I'm dreamin'/but there's a voice inside me sayin' "You'll never reach it"/...but I've gotta keep strong/Just keep pushing on/ there's always gonna be an uphill battle."
Verse of the Day: Psalm 121: 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
