Well, I was happy with a great farewell morning at church and some Starbucks with my mom today, little did I know what excitement laid ahead of me. After coffee my mom and i came home she wasn't feeling well so she laid down for a nap and I posted the blog entry directly below this one. All of a sudden, she busted into my room saying that someone from church had been in a terrible accident and many people were going to meet at the church to pray. I got up, changed clothes, and ran to the car. My mom was crying on the way over and I was trying to calm her down even though I was very nervous to find out who had been hurt or even killed. I came into the church expecting tears and bowed heads when what I got was a ton of people who love me shouting "surprise". I was so confused, wasn't someone dead? no. I was shocked and a little upset. I would have rather gone to Church with a different mind set than, "someone is gone and God's going to use it for good" but nonetheless I was surprised.
My Aunt Brenda and cousin Kristen set up a lovely arrangement turning our plain church into a tropical paradise. They had a cake with flowers, volleyball, slide show of my life, heart breaking speeches, Jesus music, useful gifts, amazing hugs, and most importantly people who love me and trust that the Lord is making his will done in my life. I have been filled with the love and grace of the savior through those he has placed in my path. My heart is going to explode! Thank you everyone for the best party ever.
