Bouldering
I went rock climbing for the weekend. It was unbelievable. I'd been praying all week about it because I was going without knowing anyone and I don't have climbing shoes. I prayed that God would make me comfortable in who I am and ok with my abilities. I road to Castle Hill (which is a giant rock field with an awesome amount of places to climb around) with two guys, Lex and Dave, and Eva, this cool chik. It was so fun. When we got there and everyone was putting on shoes and whatnot to climb Dave came over and gave me some shoes, joking that he brought them just for me. He had his old pair and they worked perfect for me. He also walked around with me the whole day and gave me advice and found boulders that I was capable of climbing up. Tyler and some of the girls came along with us and it was really fun. After we got really tired on Saturday night we went to this great cabin. We had 40 people on the trip and this cabin slept 42, so it was perfect. It was so fun the whole night, I met so many people. I had this really cool conversation with this guy Toby about life (it would be really hard to tell you in such a short space, but trust me, it was cool). The whole trip was just awesome, God met every need and want that I could have possibly had for the whole weekend. I adored getting to know a lot of new people and I'm excited about spending more time climbing and being around some of them. It's crazy to so blatantly see God orchestrate life and know that every event happened because He called it into being.
I think I've gotten the time thing fixed for my blogs, so if the date and time says Monday @ 9ish then from now on my blog times will be correct so no more confusion will be had. It occurred to me today that some of the people that I write about in my blogs probably read this, like people from here. I think that's hilarious, so soak up the fame that you're getting amongst the people that I love in K-town. :)
Yesterday I woke up at the cabin feeling weird because it was the Lord's Day and I wasn't able to go to church, something I've come to crave and really need. When I got home (which, yes, is here now) I ran into Seth and he randomly (or not so since our Heavenly Father knows the inner longings of our hearts) asked if I wanted to go to church last night with Him. We went, and although it wasn't the greatest place ever, it was awesome to spend time with Seth and be there. He ended up eating dinner over here (Charlotte my flatmate made dinner for me) and I got to talk to him for a couple of hours. He's great to talk to and someone I really treasure here. He loves Jesus and it's so cool to be around him. I think we may start going to church together, which would make me so happy.
