I haven't written anything in so long.
Just thinking about writing, recording, memorizing... It's exhausting.
September.
Erik and I broke up.
I feel like saying that the details are irrelevant. Which they kind of are..
Blagh.
We broke up. I broke up with him.
I love him and so many things about him.
He's got a heart of gold and really great dreams;
I just wasn't going to marry him.
The people we are right now aren't the right people to get married to one another.
And that's what it came down to.
October.
AMP has grown so much! And holy cow, they are so much fun. It's fantastic- we have small groups now in AMP (which is Sunday night youth group for high school and middle schoolers) now as well as a bible study on Wednesdays (just for high school) called Amplified. The structure is slowly becoming established and that makes me feel really good. God is amazing. I couldn't handle school and this ministry by myself (and I'm not supposed to). I've really had to step out of my comfort zone of "I only do things I'm good at" and trust Him to develop this passing time into useful, growing substance.
November.
I just got back from the Spectrum Retreat this weekend.
I.
Am.
Tired.
(I don't want to do astronomy homework...)
It was so good though. So, so very good.
I really needed that weekend getaway.
It was nice to be able to go to the mountains for a few days and not have to think about responsibilities or making plans. I didn't have to smile if I didn't want to. I didn't have to talk if I didn't feel like it. Nothing was required of me. Beautiful.
Aaaand, now I'm done.
