Well last night at small group, we did a recap through our list of things to pray for at the end of the study, as we always do. And a name came up that I had recognized from the previous year...someone we had been praying for and I had made a whole bunch of connections from the last name and realized that so much has changed since the first time we prayed for her (Wendy had it written down that April of last year we prayed for her). It was really great to see how God answered that prayer and to think that she didn't know we were praying for her.
It made me realize that there are a lot of people out there that I pray for (and that we pray for in small groups and with friends at at church) who don't realize it and we see God working in their lives, and I'm one of those people. To think that there are people out there praying specifically for me when I don't know it's happening is a really neat thought, because I see how prayer is answered for others who aren't aware of the praying and it hits me that it happens to me too. I shared that with the group last night after we prayed and it seemed a bit of a smile came upon each person's face when they thought about it.
It was pretty great.
I have a very busy weekend coming up - tonight I have to cut some more pipes and make a bunch of phone calls. Tomorrow morning is youth band practice (first time officially practicing, although we don't even have anyone to run sound), then tomorrow afternoon is our Blast-Off birthday party. I still need to arrange food for that (nut-free food...try finding baked goods that say nut-free...ARGH!) and buy a present and pick up people who need rides. I'll get home just in time for bed and then I'll wake up just in time for sound check and practice before church on Sunday. Then straight to my GYC meeting, then late for my Good Friday Production practice, and then home to die for the night.
I'm not looking forward to this weekend at all. I can't wait until May is over, to be completely honest with you. Then nothing but Blast-Off for a few weeks and then baseball. And a break.
Sort of.
I did have something very interesting happen today, though...I went onto Facebook and on my home page, saw that my status had somehow been changed to,
"Jacquie likes to pick her nose and eat it...yummy..."
It made me wonder...who could have snooped around my computer messing around with stuff? The only person who's used my laptop without me there is Kerry...but SURELY she was too busy finishing off that Ministry Appreciation invitation to find the time to hack into my Facebook account?!
