My obession song for the week is "Your Love is Strong" by Jon Foreman. He's the lead singer guy from Switchfoot if you don't know. I came across it this week just because I really hadn't heard his solo stuff and thought I'd give it a listen. I'm living by myself officially now which I honestly absolutely hate. I'm one of those people who needs personal alone time like once a month. Maybe. I like having other people around, including someone to live with and to be around to talk to all the time. Yes, God is breaking me of that because it's not always a good thing. I value relationships a whole lot and being by myself makes me go nuts. This week with Maggie moving and other things I've felt pretty weak. I'm just so tired of all of my best friends moving away and being here still with no answers on anything I've prayed for. And this isn't meant to to be a pity party, because God is strong. And as weak as I've felt recently I love being reminded of that. He's given me everything I need in life even though this life is kind of hurting right now.
In other news...Slopfest was amazing! Our youth group had a big messy 2-hours of games yesterday. They had to do some crazy stuff like pass a dead fish on a rope through their clothes, have marshmallows stick to their faces with peanut butter, dig around in the mud, drink 5 different sodas mixed together, and a lot of other things I'm kinda glad I didn't have to do. Greg and I have been planning it for a really long time and this week I was having my fair share of doubts. But 17 students showed up, the gospel was heard at the end, and the church parking lot was covered with shaving cream when we pulled in this morning. I was glad.

Slopfest was a blast...I'm glad I was able to be a part of it. :)
I know how important it is to have people around -- just to be able to talk to...I went for a long time without any, so I can kind of relate to how you're feeling I guess. You have a lot of friends and that is a great thing. I'll definitely be praying for you.
