this was the greatest weekend i've had in a really long time. today, after church i went with john fisher on a short drive. the original plan was to picnic in the park, but after a few complications, we decided to just go to el mazatlan (at least i think that was the name of it). so we had ourselves some great mexican food and then drove around some more. wow! what a beautiful day it was. after john left, i drove around taking pictures and ended up at the park. i called jeremy on the way out there and guess who was at the park reading. jeremy (who i miss a whole big bunch)! so i hung out with him for a while. we walked around took some pictures. it was just one of those days where you realize how awesome God really is. i was taking these black and white photos of flowers, trees, the lake, some kids...and all i could think of was how amazing and intricate each of those things really are. like how the trees can grow so tall and they can twist and turn and at the same time be so incredibly strong. or how flowers bloom. some grow close together, but some are scattered away from everything else. or babies learning to walk how they just kind of waddle and unexpectedly fall, surprising even themselves. just comes once again to prove that the mighty creator has great plans for everything and he did even long before he created anything. it's so hard to see the plans he has for me right now. i know that he has some amazing thing planned for me, and i know that i just need to be patient and wait it out. but it's so hard. i just want to know. i know that it will all work itself out...just need to give it time. and that's what i'm going to do.

so the rest of my day consisted of dropping my film off at the good ol' walmart. then i ventured home to watch a movie, but my dear friend, shea, called and ended up stopping by. it was a wonderful surprise. we ended up playing a few games of scene it...which was incredibly exciting. and that was my absolutely wonderful weekend!
