This Wednesday we watched and discussed my favorite nooma video. It is called Store. It addresses how easily we get angry. How often times the smallest things can ruin our day or consume our thoughts. So many funny things happen during the video. Things that I laugh at because I relate so well. Like trying to pull into a parking space that has a buggy sitting in it. From this video, we were able to apply many things. Are the things we get angry about worth the energy? We learn "be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." Are we taking this to heart? Choose Joy! Another aspect of this is: Are we getting angry about the things that God is angry about? This reminds me of a line in 'Hosanna' by Hillsong that says, "break my heart for what breaks yours". Our anger can challenge us to change the world. Through our anger, is God trying to get our attention about something He is calling us to do?
On Thursday, the boys set off for their Manly Man's Retreat. So.. We decided to have a Girls Night! We dubbed it, The Womanly Woman's Counter-Retreat. First we met at the church building in our 80's gear! We then spent time fellowshipping with each other, eating pizza, taking pictures, and playing games- From Little Sally Walker to Honey, if you love me. After that we set out for Hamilton Skate Place. It was a wonderful suprise that it was Christian Night at the rink. We got to hear a lot of music that we know and love. After an hour and a half, of some hilarious attempts at skating for some of us, we called it a night. I had so much fun with you girls! You all are beautiful and crack me up! :) Love you!
