So, today i went to visit Long Hollow Baptist with my family who goes there. They had a special speaker by the name of Tony Nolan (awesome speaker by the way) and praise and worship by Chris White? I think that was his name atleast. The service was a salvation message titled, Be Prepared. Tony did an amazing message, it was so powerful. As awesome as the service was, the best part had to have been the altar call. Tony did a "church prayer" as i like to call it, you know the "repeat this prayer after me" kind where everyone in the building says the prayer, and then to take this a step further, he invited everyone who prayed that prayer and meant it to go down to the front. And i am so thankful to God that my brother, my brother who doesn't go to church, and who was lost as all get out, responded and not only teared up during prayer, but had enough courage to walk down to the altar. That was the most powerful part of the message. Seeing my older brother give his life to Christ. Of course, being as emotional as i (and my cousin, Amber) are we both started tearing up. But i just give God all the glory for that opportunity to get my brother into a church, and showing himself to my brother in such an awesome way. It was amazing. To continue with my day, me, jo, mom, and dad went to eat at Chili's, where my cousin and family showed up. Then we went to Matt's social get together. (we... is me and jo, if you haven't figured that out) I left pretty soon after i got there and got Keva Juice. oh, it was amazingggg! after Matt's house, my family all ate at my brothers house. then we came home and me and jo went to walmart and bought me the Brad Paisley cd *sorry, i'm a huge country music fan!!* lol, a coloring book and crayons, sunglasses, a card book thing for him, and some yu-gi-oh cards cause my boyfriend is so cool to like yu-gi-oh. haha. =) love you dear! but anyhow, that's how my day went. it was a good day. it'll be interesting when everyone at school see's my hair tomorrow. lol. i'm still kinda getting used to it, but i do like it. prom is friday! i'm so excited. =) well.. goodnight guys. <3
