rock for sudan, i think, went very well. it was different from last year for sure. but the crowd it drew to the church was quite interesting. and what a great door opener to this years YOUth church...i am happy to say that the t-shirt making went very well! we made at least 25-30. lots of people brought their own from home, so we had left overs. and like wes said, it is funny to see how excited people get about making their own shirts (i am one of them). speaking of wes, him and kat are officially engaged! i am so happy for the both of them! Congrats!
lately i have been wanting to get a long board, just for the heck of it. and friday while having dinner with wes and kat, i noticed that wes had one sitting in his corner. so i was casually talking about how i think it would be a fun, taking the long board around green lake just sounds like fun. apparently they found the long board in a parking lot a couple of weeks ago and were looking for someone to give it to...aka ME! i am pretty excited...now kristen you need to get one maybe we will find one in a parking lot for you. i will make sure to keep my eyes open! that way i don't look like a complete fool by myself. either that or my friend david said he could help me.
last night i went back to the community group brian and i used to attend in ballard. it was nice to be welcomed back by everyone, and meet the new people who have joined. right now we are reading through philippians (right now mars hill is just finishing up nehemiah and after that they will be going through philippians, so i think all the community groups are getting acquainted with it?) i haven't spent much time in philippians, but what i read so far has really hit home. last night we read philippians 2: 1-18 and discussed humility and how we are all called to be humble. but how the world sees being humble as weak, and not confident. we also talked about how we as "Christians" can be humble in our work and in everything we do. but what was interesting to me was that if i try to explain humbleness to a non-Christian it is to some point, pointless. isn't it something that they wouldn't understand? why should they be humble? i should be humble because Jesus called me to be, but if a person doesn't know Jesus then to them it would seems pointless. right?
i met a couple of new girls at the group and tomorrow we are all going to go help kat pick out her wedding dress, it shall be fun!
i finally ordered my invisible children bracelet last week, i will be getting the black sunday one, i think everyone should have one...support the cause, and get a sweet bracelet!
also the action design's cd came out today...however NO record store in seattle carries it or ever heard of them, sad. the sonic boom guy is going to try to order it for me, but he said it was a long shot? however because i work in fremont if they can order it i get a 10% discount! sweet!

a long board would be fun, and that's good news about the cd. i love fremont.
t-shirt party here we come. :)
yeh a guy i knew went everywhere on a long board i have secretly wanted one also.... but im waiting till im at a point in my life where i am ok with cracking my head open. :)
I bought two braclets and a t-shirt, im wearing it right now! but that was a while ago, where have you been?! hahaha
i was actually thinking about the humility/weak thing earlier this morning. It is so hard to explain to non-christians. They really really don't get it and I guess we shouldn't expect them too. I think Christians over all think that non-christians now all about/ base their morals off of things pertaining to Christianity when really they are totally ignorant. I mean, Martin Strand didn't know waht worship was. I couldn't even completely explain it to him because worship is so much more than music but that was the only way he wold understand it. Anyway, this commnet is too long.
I know what you mean about the spiritual yoga thing, haha. that probably sounds funny because you say nothing about it in your blog. I hope you find a place.
