Skipping

Things don't always go according to plans- well not my plans...
At the beginning of the day, i would have told you i was going to go to class, eat lunch, catch up on e-mails, go to class again, play r-ball, shower, grab supper and then just to end the day the right way, go to Campus Crusade. Throw in buy a card and birthday present for someone, go out to eat in Longview with them to celebrate, wash dishes and finally, take an hour trip to Wal-Mart with my mother, and you have my day.
I had every intention of going to Campus Crusade, but we left for Longview about 6:30. We also ate at a nice restaurant, so it took a bit longer than usual. It was nice not looking down at my watch the whole time. Sometimes, it's necessary to forget your plans and do something random. I had a great time hanging out with a couple friends tonight and was able to enjoy the conversation knowing that i didn't absolutely have to be some where else. It was lots of fun passing notes to the waiter to ask him to sing for my friend... It was nice to be able to talk for fun instead of there having to be an issue to be addressed. It was nice talking about things of interest to me- like religion... It was great having the door held for me all night and being walked out to my car. I know this stuff may sound kind of silly, but occasionally a change is nice. That's what this week has been about. I thank God for the good times he has allowed me to have this week. It's good to see that it's all in His hands and i don't always have to be the one leading and helping out. The change has been great! Not that it needs to be a permanent thing, but i'm learning to enjoy it rather than dreading it...
