Its here

Well this is it. The last day of classes. One more class and then I am done.
With the exceptions of finals. I only have to take 4 this semester, which is a blessing!

This past weekend was busy and it pushed me a lot, but it was good overall. Friday I didnt get home from work until 4 am! Then I worked Saturday, which was the bussiest day at the hotel in the past 10 years. It was mad crazy, I worked a party by myself which went well. And then ended another late night at 3am.

Sunday was good. Church was amazing. I love Parker Hill, the messages are amazing and the people are great too. I feel like I am learning real applicable truths there, and our small groups Sunday evenings have been really stretching as we explored what it meant to be "spiritual" and we worked through the book "Messy Spirituality", while we did not agree on all points in the book, which is ok, it truly is a book that helps you to evaluate what you consider spiritual.

I think often we all strive for this holier than thou spirituality that was displayed by one of our heroes of the faith, without realizing that we are all different, unique and special in the eyes of God. That we are all, on some level spiritual. Often how we classify those that are "spiritual" is not biblically accurate.

I have been really thankful for that Parker Hill/BBC small group and I am excited for the "eclectic" group we have, as Julie puts it. I think we were all able to connect on a level that we probably wouldnt have otherwise.

Well this needs to be cut off, more to come later about church Sunday!
