Sock Wrestling!

Today was pretty great :)

I think that Rich's prayer yesterday worked some magic, because I was feeling like it was the beginning of what would be a sucky cold, and I feel wayyyyy better today, only a slight cough. :)

We started a new topic - The Character and Nature of God. The speaker is named David Cole and is Josh (from last week) 's dad! He mostly just did intro stuff today... But we spent a lot of time in Job. And learned that we should really trust in got and have faith in him even in hard times because he is faithful and will stick with you and such things.

Oh, I guess one cool thing that I never thought of before was that the Devil is only finite. He can only be in one place at one time, but God is everywhere always. So God is just so much better than Satan. And if you are faithful to God and live completely for him, then God will protect you from Satan. This is because Satan has to ask God for permission to touch us, and if God says 'No' then Satan has to listen. Pretty neat, man.

Also, hilarious. Today, after breakfast I came back to the cottage at 8:30 (breakfast is at 7) and I saw Noemi laying in bed. I thought she was just napping, and I said "Awe Noemi." And she looked so lost and confused and was like "What time is it?" And I was like "Did you miss breakfast?" And she was like "What???? You are kidding!" etc. and it was hilarious. She missed breakfast and had to fast involuntarily until lunch! HAHA

During the afternoon today I finished up my CIR (journal thingy) and handed it in to Johanna. I feel kind of bad because I was like "... but won't Carly read it?!?!" and I think she got insulted. But I love Johanna and I am excited to see what her feedback is! (But I also want Carly's feedback!)

Then I lead a bit of a yoga class in the GAP. It was pretty awesome.

After supper was the best though. We had small groups and all the girls were together. We met in the lecture room, and when we came in all of the tables were pulled to the side and music was blasting and we had a little dance party. Then we ate a tone of food and played charades. We also had a marshmallow roast in the fire place! And had a sweet devo in which we chose something in our lives to surrender to God. We wrote it down and burned it. I really hope that I can fully give up my thing that I surrendered!

BUT the best thing was that we had a sock wrestling match. This is where you have to try to pull the other person's sock off before they pull yours off. It got pretty intense. I beat Marit. Then Miranda wooped my bum. And then we had a little cottage 3-person match between Me, Hannah and Noemi. I won. I'm pretty proud! HAHA

Then we had another dance party. Then we yelled and screamed the whole way back to the cottages and the boys came out of their cabins. I am sure that they were jealous because they didn't have nearly as much fun as us!
