In the car going to meet everyone! 
[Me & Aubrey...all four of us...Sarah and Elizabeth]
I have had an incredible weekend! Friday night my little cousin stayed the night with me and we watched Alice in Wonderland. I loved it! :) However, we stayed up way to late considering we had to get up early Saturday. Once we woke up I had to go pick Sarah up then go to the Schalk's where we then all piled into one vehicle to head to the church where the Schalk's, Sarah, Jenna, Dallas, Jessica, Mr. Ben, Amber, two others and myself took off for Memphis. We went to a Redbirds game followed by a Rush of Fools concert! Let's just say it was a wonderful day filled with baseball, nachos, laughter, tears from laughter and of course praising the one true God! :) I don't know about you but I can't think of any better way to spend a Saturday (besides sleeping in a little later ;P)! It was crazy because our group sat right behind the redbirds dugout yet, my parents were up in our club box and considering it was so so so hot outside me and Sarah decided we wanted to sneak upstairs to the air conditioned box. :) haha Well, on the way up we met the Wes Willis...the lead singer for the band Rush of Fools!!! Ahhhhhhhh.....(((((: how amazing! lol. He was with his wife Mechelle, who by the way is pregnant, he told us we better be careful or she might eat our nachos before we realize it. ha! Then later we saw the whole band and instead of being calm and saying hello we were creepers. NO JOKE...we awkwardly walked slowly to them then stood behind them speechless!! My parents had a field day with it! Below is a few picture from the game and the concert! Oh by the way, the Redbirds beat the Cubs 6-2 :) it was a great game!

Now, to what God is teaching me. Love. Strange I know. However, i feel as if God is constantly reminding me to love others even if they are different. I notice that when working with youth that i find myself reminding them to love each other and be nice. You know the saying..."If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." It's as if kids just don't get that. Which I remember when i was a youth...I wasn't always the nicest...nor am i now. But I am better at catching myself. I just challenge those reading this to watch what you say, watch how you look at someone, and how you act toward them. Remember God loves us unconditionally even though we don't deserve it so the least we can do is love others! :)
