Weekend 'o fun

Wow, the longer the weekend, the more stuff ya cram into it! I was at my church retreat this weekend, and now I'm home, totally exhausted. I had and exam today and another one tmw, both of which I didn't study for at all over the weekend of course!

Anyway, the weekend was about faith and works and really living out your faith. I think the most interesting thing I got out of it was that even demons believe that there is a God (James 2:19). Just believing that there is a God isn't enough; you have to act on your faith.

It was an awesome weekend, and I think it made me realize how much I enjoy working with youth. I totally remember what I was like back in high school with all my friend problems, boy problems and everything else that those things involved. I feel like an older sister to most of the kids that were there, and I'm so proud of the people they are growing up to become. I got to have such good, in-depth talks with a lot of the kids there, and it's amazing what great conversation you get when there's trust in the relationship. Trust is so stinking important!

Anyhoo, I had an awesome time, and quite a lot of blonde moments. I can't remember them all exactly right now, but here's the first one.

Michelle is a blonde story #1: We're in the car discussing my fear of geese, when someone draws a comparison between geese and vampires (who have no reflections), and someone proceeds to say, "Hey, I wonder if geese have reflections?" I respond by saying, "Oh, I know geese have reflections! Wanna know how I know?" and I proceed to tell a story about a goose I saw staring at it's reflection. Did I really need to see that to know? Duh.

P.S. East Side Mario's food is FANTASTIC. Hellooooooooooo home bread!!!!
