Marit learned what a toe is today

I got to prayer so early this morning! Woohooo!
It was wondrous, except for when I bent down my head to the floor to pray and snot filled my entire head. But I blew my nose and solved that problem.
We got to sleep in for a bit today and it was nice. :)

This morning before lectures was creative presentations and sermonettes. Kat did a sweet white-girl rap and Schnegg beat-boxed. It was pretty epic. Also, Marit did her sermonette on Joy. I helped her write it in good english, and I wrote her opening prayer! haha!! She was so nervous to talk in front of everyone in english. But she did so awesome!!!

Dave finished off the last few character traits of God... These are:
- He is LOVE
- He is LIGHT
- He is HOLY & RIGHTEOUS
- He is MERCY & LOVING-KINDNESS
- He is WISDOM
- He is JUST
- He is FAITHFUL
- He is PROVIDER
- He is HOST

It is nice to have everything God is listed out for me. It helps me to understand Him better. I am excited to learn more tomorrow!

This afternoon before rec, when I was getting dressed into my sporting gear, I said to Marit "I hope these pants don't give me a camel toe."
And she said, "What?"
"A camel toe"
"What?"
"You know, camels have two toes..."
"Camel?"
"The animal with humps on it's back..."
"Ohhh...." Still looking confused "what is toe?"
I pointed to my toes...
"Ohhhhh..."
And then I had to explain how a 'camel toe' can happen when you wear stretchy pants.
It was funny!

Then later Marit got to use her new vocabulary. She kicked the ball and was like "Owwww, I hurt my... what was it?? TOE!!!" I was so proud.

At rec we played volleyball. It was pretty awesome. It was really funny because for some reason everyone thought that I had played college volleyball. (BUT I SUCK AT VOLLEYBALL) Somehow though, I got a bunch of points serving really badly underhand. It was pretty funny! Haha! And I got to wear bare feet in the grass and it was so wonderful. Now my feet are super mucky. So much for having foot washing this morning at sermonettes!

Then I did some sweet yoga and I am so close to being able to get up into a handstand without using a wall. I am so excited :) But it was funny because I kept falling over and making crashing noises and Kat heard me and thought I was dying.

At supper Van came and sat with me for a 'date'. Yay!

After supper I had a substitute one-on-one with Johanna. It was nice to chat about life, laugh a lot, and talk about God and goals. We also just sat and listened to Matt's beautiful voice singing from the next room for quite some time. Johanna is so funny! She challenged me to accept complements with a polite 'thank-you' rather than brushing them off. This will be difficult. Also, She challenged me to work at connecting with the few people that I don't know so well yet. And I still have the goal for praying better and such, and she added that I should accept God's love, rather than just brushing it off like all of the complements. Because I tend to think "Oh God loves everyone, therefore he must love me.", rather than "God loves ME!!!!" So I guess I am still needing a bit more of a revelation of his love!!!

I have just written a new song asking for my eyes to be opened to God. I think it's pretty swell. I am excited for my hour in the prayer room at 10 PM!!!!!
