well hey. Today has been a fast day but pretty good. I worked the big 3-6. We only had 6 kids today!! wow!! So it was a very easy day. I went straight from work to get gas and then to Paula's house. I talked to Pam & her friend for a minute and then we were out the door. It took us a whole uhh 2 minutes and we got to Middlebrook. Yea~ Marci invited me to Middlebrook's revival...and at first I said no but then she kept asking me and I felt bad and I kinda wanted to go but was scared (for several reasons)...but then I finally said "OK!" lol. I was glad Paula was with me, made me feel tons more comfortable. It started at 7 and we got there at like 6:50. Let me try to think of who all talked to me...Bro Don & Nora, Tony, Rachael, Marci of course, Shiela, Andrea's mom, Debbie Jo & Coke ,Charlie, Reba, Faye, Felicia, Charatie, and then some random lady I dont know. I sat with Marci, Paula, and Marci's friend Heather who seemed very nice. Braxton preached...he is a good preacher...butI just didn't get "moved" tonight. I didn't really get a blessing or much out of the sermon, but I did get touched my Melissa Green's awesome singing. But just because I wasnt personally touched, doesn't mean other people weren't...several people were saved and joined the church. Aww..that is great. God was definitely there though, I mean you know...where 2 or more are gathered... =0) But yea Melissa Green has sung there before and she is such a blessing! I bought one of her CDs called "wings" like 3 years ago and I still listen to it constantly! And ironically the one sang she sang by herself tonight was my favorite one..."calvary's the reason why". If I can find the lyrics I will have to post them at the bottom. She is also the school nurse at Fulton hahaha...she gave me & Rachel some kind of medicine for cramps our senior year lol. Well after the service I waited her to get done playing the piano and I went up to her and asked her if she had any new CDs out. She said "no the last one I made was Wings" and I said "yea I have that one" and she asked if I had her hymn CD and I said "No" and she asked if I wanted it and I said "yea but I can't get it tonight anyways I will have to wait til another time" and she said "come outside with me to my car and I'll get it for you" and I said "I dont have the money for it today" and she was like "oh that's ok!!". What an angel she is! So we walked out to her car and she talked to me and I told her how that song she sang tonight was my favorite and how I sing it to myself when I get depressed (which is so weird that she chose that one). Then she hopped in her car and got the CD out and handed it to me and I gave her a hug and was like "THANK YOU SO MUCH"...she is a true blessing and Christian~ and soo pretty too! Oh, the first song that we sang tonight was "I'll Fly Away" which was kind of sore to me b/c the last time I sang it was when we were releasing balloons after my Daddy's burial service...and those are also the last words I heard my Daddy speak...he was liftinghis hands singing the chorus to it. :( And also because today it has been EXACTLY 5 months since he has been gone. =( Well, Anyways- after that Marci wanted us to go eat and I was like "uhh all I can afford is a $1 double cheeseburger from McDonalds!" so we went there lol. We went to the one on Western (me, Marci, Heather & Paula). We were there probably an hour talking and eating. It was fun times. After that I dropped Paula off and came home. Now I am sitting here online talktig to Juli & Emily. Tomorrow is another busy day for me...will write about it soon!! <3
By the way...here are those awesome lyrics:
CALVARY’S THE REASON WHY
I WAS LOST
BUT YOU KNEW WHERE TO FIND ME
I WAS HUNGRY
YOU WERE BREAD FOR MY SOUL
I WAS THIRSTY
AND YOU GAVE LIVING WATER
YOU WERE MY SHELTER
WHEN I HAD NO PLACE TO GO .
THAT’S WHY SOMETIMES
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU
SOMETIMES JUST TO SPEAK YOUR NAME
SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
WITHOUT ASKING YOU FOR A THING
OH SOMETIMES I LIFT MY HANDS TO YOU
AND SOMETIMES ALL I DO IS CRY
EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE I OWE TO YOU
LORD AND CALVARY’S THE REASON WHY .
WHEN I THINK
OF THE LOVE THAT YOU’VE GIVIN’
LORD WHEN I THINK
OF THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR ME
THEN THE TRIALS ON EARTH
THEY JUST SEEM LIKE NOTHIN’
WHEN THEY’RE COMPARED TO DARK CALVARY.
EVERYTHING THAT I AM
I OWE TO YOU
LORD AND CALVARY’S THE REASON WHY .
