Amazing DAY

Today was an absolutely amazing day. God just gave me a gift today! There is a girl I have slowly been getting to know the past 5 or 6 months and today She, her friend and I all went rock climbing! It was amazing, me hanging out with two amazing women who are sweet, normal, mature can carry on a two or three way conversation. Who encourage me as well as each other. Who look out for each other, talk, laugh and have a great time. I had almost forgotten what that was like. It was such a blessing and I had such a wonderful time, just being with these girls who know how to be friends. I have not recently had the pleasure of being around people like this, people I don't have to keep my guard up around. On the way to hang out with them I was facing the regular battles of my everyday life, the regular drama, and then I decided to ignore the cell phone, to look forward to my time with these girls and to forget the trials I was dealing with a moment before. Fittingly a song came on my stereo by a fantastic band. Nada Surf was singing my exact feelings out on my stereo. Their words were, " To hell with it I'm gonna have a party, to hell with it I'm gonna have a party, to hell with it I'm gonna have a party"! YEAH! To hell with all the people I have been trying to "graciously and kindly and directly and responsibly and maneuverability and carefully" deal with for the past 7 months, I am gonna forget about them for a while and I am gonna have a party and it felt as though God was saying, "Emily, I will take care of your trials, I will deal with them, I will judge them, I will fix them, you can forget about them now and forever, but it's easier to now, and you can enjoy your afternoon. You can have a party". THANK YOU GOD!!!!! I had a great time, the sun shone down on me and I drove down the road to Kansas singing, "To hell with it I'm gonna have a party!"
