Through out the whole day on Saturday, I kept asking myself if I would have gone back to the Axis youth group stuff. I thought and thought and I really thought. I came to the conclusion that I would go back twice and if I didn't see anything different choices like the one time I went to FNL then I wouldn't go back. I might just have been there the one night that it wasn't good but maybe the next time would be better. I'm sure that's how it is for some people at the Grove.
Nothing else besides the party and hanging out with everyone really exciting happened. At the Birthday party, which was for Ashley's Sixteenth and Heather's fourteenth birthday, was quite umm... wild and crazy but wonderful.
I broke out of my shell once again and talked to people I didn't know. I found myself actually talking to these people and getting to know them. I kept asking why they go to the Journey (the name of the church) or to Axis. I think everyone was surprised when I asked, like they aren't asked that often. I also found out a bunch of other stuff that I was shocked by. Shocked in a good way, and thought it was very interesting about some of the things these teens told me.
It was the first time I have ever had a marsh mellow fight and the first time in almost two years that I've danced like I did. The marsh mellow fight was so much fun and it was pretty crazy too. We were all in the woods blowing marsh mellows at each other and some of us, not me, but would hold marsh mellows in their mouths and then blow them out. GROOOOOOOSS! You would know if you were hit by one of those because it would stick to you and you would be covered in slobber. I don't even know how long we did that but we did for what seemed like ever but it was a good type of ever. I ended up giving up because I was just too thirsty to keep blowing the marsh mellows, and besides the fact that I dislike the taste of them too.
While inside, I was talking to two teens and really got to know them. Well as best as I could before everyone else came back inside. I think the adult, Luke and Sarah had more fun than anyone else did. I don't even know who stayed outside the longest but I think they were pretty close to the last ones. When everyone was back inside we played "Apples to Apples". It was a first for me, and it was quite funny I think. Sarah had fun helping me choose which one to pick.
During the last dance session, a girl who I had spent some time with that night came and sat down on the couch next to me. Luke was getting tired and was sitting on my lap. Well, she just seemed different not like her bubbly self. I asked if everything was okay and she told me what happen or was happening. I really felt like God was telling me to pray for her. So I asked if I could and she said okay but its not the big of a deal. I stated a few things and I felt a little bit better about asking to pray for her. So I did and afterwards I wondered if I did the right thing. I mean prayer is always good but I asked to pray for someone I didn't really know and she seemed unease by it. I almost felt like I had done something wrong.
Later when everyone was leaving, I hugged a few of them saying goodbye and knowing that God has a plan for everything that happened that night. I didn't really know anyone that I hugged, I just knew them from what happened at the party and talking to them. I was comfortable with it as they were too. I just love how God works that way. Its always funny to me just how God works. I enjoy it but its weird sometimes, just like His perfect timing.
