Ahh...it's amazing what 2 days off can do for a person haha. Thursday we hung out in Arkansas and went out on Lake Thunderbird at the invitation of one of our hosts who owns a boat. We did some water sports and did a lot of tubing, too. It was a blast! We're all still pretty sore, but we had a great time, so it was definitely worth it. And it was a beautiful day for it too...a perfect way to take the day off and to enjoy God's creation.
Yesterday we spent the day in downtown Memphis, TN, which was a lot of fun as well! We got to hear some incredible blues bands; awesome talent in Memphis! There was this one band called The Will Tucker Band, the lead singer/guitarist was 16 years old! And he had an amazing voice! There was this other band, and the woman that sang was phenomenal! She had a huge range and a very soulful sound, which I love, and she was just super super talented. So anyway, yeah, had the privilege of hearing some really talented people yesterday. Then we went to karaoke in the evening, where there was also some talent...but not quite so incredible haha! Needless to say, we had a very fun-filled day yesterday. Also got to do a little shopping :-)
Today we're headed to Frankfort, KY where we have a show tomorrow evening. It's gonna be a long drive...about 8 or 9 hours I think. So...plenty of time to watch movies, listen to music, talk to my parents, and take a nap haha...oh, and blog of course lol.
So this morning in my devotions I was reading Psalm 139, which is a go-to passage for me, but today it was because my little daily women's devotional talked about speaking respectfully to ourselves. It talked about needing to be an encourager of yourself rather than your worst critic, which I can tend to be at times :-/ So, to remind myself of who I am, I went to Psalm 139. I would encourage y'all to read it in The Message; it's a different version of the Bible that kind of breaks it down into common language today. So anyway, it was just a great reminder of how truly well the Father knows me, knows each and every one of us. He knows more about us thatn anyone can or ever will...how crazy is that?! And then to top that off, in light of Him knowing everything about us, He still loves us! God still loves me in spite of all my failures, faults, and flaws. Praise the Lord. Oh How He Loves!! :-D
Just wanted to share a little something that was on my heart today. I hope the amazing Love of the Father encourages you as much as it has encouraged me today :-)
In Him
