Sunday = New Friends

I know this is the second post tonight, but really, it's probably my last until next Monday, my deadline. I have a huge project due then and have GOT to focus on it. Sometimes focusing means not worring about blogging, or facebook, or email, or whatever else occupies my precious time. And seriously, by not checking my email every minute or so (exaggerating, but you get the point) the world won't stop. Just because I don't respond to your email or comment in 5 minutes, doesn't mean you'll give up on me. Seriously. The world does not need me every hour of everyday. Right now, Sam Houston needs me to finish this paper so I can graduate. And graduate I will. Praise the Good Lord!

What I really wanted to share with you is some exciting new friends that I got to meet today. It was a double whammy kinda day.

This morning I headed over to Houston First Baptist for church. Whenever I get the chance I like to go there. I love it there. Not only is it a wonderful church, but there are people my age there, which makes it all the better. Don't get me wrong, I love my beloved church, Cypress Bible Church, love it, but sometimes I just need someone in their young 20's, like me, to talk to! And know that they too are in the "next phase of life!"

Anyway, first I went to the Woman's Sunday School class where I got to meet sweet Tammie. And y'all, is she ever so sweet. So gentle and just beautiful. Just from my short time talking with her you can tell that she loves the Lord like no other. It was so encouraging, and so refreshing! She was simply a delight. Tammie, it was so good to finally meet you. I can't wait to meet again. Not only was she a delight to meet, but every other lady in that class was so welcoming. I felt so comfortable. And, a great word was brought to us about friendships! That's a whole other post, but it was so timely! Friendships are such a beautiful thing and something I so cherish. My friends mean the world to me!

After Sunday school I headed to "big church!" I was so excited because I love Greg Matte. He too can bring the word. Well, I got in there, got situated, and then worship started. At first I couldn't tell who it was. I told my friend Megan that I thought it was Travis Cottrell, but wasn't sure. (We were up top!) Much to my surprise, it was! After the first song he introduced himself and I was just thrilled. He did a great job of leading us in worship and of course sang my favorite, In Christ Alone. Oh, my heart!

I couldn't resist after church to go meet him, because after all, I do comment on his blog like everyday. I did go meet him and introduced myself as the Lindsee with two e's. Yup, that's how I distinguish myself. I told him I had to come introduce myself and he was so glad I did. I was surprised that he recongnized me! Too fun! We talked for a bit and then went our separate ways. He was just a pleasure to meet and so very sweet! So, Travis, it was so nice meeting you. I'm so glad I had the guts to actually hang around and meet you! Know that your ministry means so much to me! Can't wait to see you again, either, in San Antonio, if not before! And by the way, worship was fabulous this morning. The gift God has given you is being used in HUGE ways for His glory!

Well, folks, on a normal Sunday night I would be long asleep, but PTL we don't have school tomorrow! My day off and I have SOOOO much to do. Seriously, if you think of me, would you pray that this week isn't as stressful as I think it will be? Not only do I have the huge project due, but I am also getting observed this week, have a highschool retreat this weekend, and am also taking an exit test! Oh my. I'm a bit overwhelmed thinking about it.

On that note, I better head to bed so I don't get sick on top of all of this! Oh, that would be the icing on the cake!

Much love,
