To the Wedding...

Well, my roommates and I and some of our other friends are on our way to Michigan for our old roommate's, Lise, wedding to Aaron. It's 5 minutes and counting till the rest of the clan gets here and then we are on our way to the Amtrack to BWI and then to Detroit. It's kind of cool to bring home some of my friends from D.C. It'll be nice to be home too. Everybody else is renting a car and a hotel room to stay Saturday night for the rehearsal dinner, but I thought it would be best for me to stay home with my family, since I won't be home for a while next. 

I'm excited to get out of the city for a little bit. It'll be even nicer to get away from distractions that are causing my relationship with the Lord to become second (i.e. Idols of the heart). Though I do understand that I can't run away from them because they will always be there, but it'll be nice not to look at it for a weekend. 

Every time I go home, my dad and I try to carve out some time to spend together. So saturday morning we are going to get breakfast together to just hang out and talk. It's nice to talk to him. He understands and he doesn't judge me. I'm going home to kind of a stressful/judgmental situation. I need lots of prayer and wisdom to show forgiveness and grace where needed. I can be so selfish sometimes and I know that I'm a sinner, but I don't need it to be hung over my head as though I am being condemned. Christ didn't condemn me because I repented of my sins. So I need to not feel condemned and remind myself that Christ has paid for that sin and I am free from it. I am no longer a bondage to it. So why am I still selfish? 

Anyway, the doorbell just rang. I must carry my suitcase downstairs now and to get ready for our Michigan Adventure!!! 

I'll be posting soon!
