You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed

For the record that girl was not in church today.

So today after church I went to lunch with some people from church. And I arrived there at the same time with the one lady, Paula. We pulled in and this guy came up to us and said ladies can I have some money for gas because my car ran out of gas on the highway and I need to get to Newport News, and he was holding a gas can. Paula was like searching all around for cash. I knew I had cash and like started walking away. SHE went into her car and found the man some cash. So I guiltily went into my wallet and pulled out 3 bucks for him. I think could sense what was going on inside my head. She turned to me and said, "You know that was probaly a scam right there. But it doesn't matter Elise because our hearts where in the right place and that's all God cares about." Talk about a WOW moment. It was just one of those moments which really woke me up and made me step back and reflect. Just something I'll never forgot, because in situations with people I know I'm always like oh well it's not my place to judge them, but I didn't realize in this situation how I was judging a total stranger. If I had to sit on God's throne and judge I would screw the whole world up!


Oh yeah. Sunday School was nice today, well the end really touched my heart. We were broken up in guy and girl groups talking about different things then sharing. Well at the end we decided to pray for each other. It was just really nice because I finally admitted that I'm homesick. But it was nice having people pray for me about it. I know there are a ton of people who are always praying for me, but there's always something special hearing another person pray aloud for you.

Lunch was nice. The painting party was great! I only stayed a few hours though because I realized I still have some paperwork to get done and my ed. specialist is coming in tomorrow...**groan** Nothing against him, just to many people in the room makes the kids crazy. ha.

It should be a good day though. I love that I'm excited about going to work, even on a Monday!! :D Tomorrow after work we're having our staff Christmas party. It's after school, so it should be nice! Ok, I'm heading to bed for sure!
