![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thursday, December 15, 2005 Hey All!I just wanted to comment on the great Christmas party we had last night... um, well I guess I'm commenting now - I really had a blast with the gift exchange, and then the change of focus back to God and then the great fellowship time. Oh, I LOVED the skit, Jess, Beth and Alex - Rock on! I got "my book" back from Whittney (lol) which really made my night AND I got to keep my Nemo bag - and anyone who knows me (listen closely) knows I LOVE Finding Nemo!!! Second of all - I just wanted to steal an idea from Dell (Thanks Dell) and encourage a few people. I guess I'll do some of those people I had (good) first impressions of (not that I had bad first impressions of anyone - I guess I should have said "The first people I really got to know"). Delian - I just want to encourage you first, because you have been such a great friend so far in my stay at Soverign Grace. The way you make sure to talk with me, your passion for God, and your willingness to do what God wants you to do all have really impacted me. I hope that, in the future, we will be able to become good friends (if you don't mind... lol). My first impression of you was something along the lines of: Wow, she is really nice - I hope we can become friends. - I also thought you were beautiful (and still do...lol). The ease with which you talk with people has encouraged me as well, to get over this invisible and un-nameable thing inside of me that hinders me from having conversations with people. I hope to be able to write 10 pages about the encouraging things about you someday. Oh, and I really enjoyed the Hair Day thing at your house... dispite the fact that I can't remember any of the stuff to do on myself! Beth - Your ability to converse and make someone feel at ease was very helpful to me the first week or two we came to church. Your desire to seek after God is even stronger than your strong desire to seek after the meaning of words (sorry, I just had to add that). What I have noticed is a real desire to know God and everything about God so you can serve him better. Your imput in our book studies has made things clearer for me. Alex - My first impression of you (well... after I shook your hand and realized you had been going to shake Ben's...) was something like - Wow, I want to be able to worship God like he does! Actually you were the main conviction for me in that area. In our previous church(s) worship was just something that we had to get over with before the sermon... and after the sermon, we got to go home. My friends would look around to see if anyone else was raising their hands before they decided whether they wanted to or not - raising hands was more of a show than a symbolic act of adoration and submission to God... but the passion you've shown for adoration of God and glorifying his name (like a telescope) really have impacted me. Also, thank-you for leading many of the things I've gone to (Book studies etc) you seem to have the ability to make complex things, simple and the ability for "commanding" people's attention among other things - I think God has gifted you in that area (leading) - and it is great to see young men leading. Jarred - haha, thanks for your comic relief and for helping me get adjusted! Actually, when I first saw you (at Aniello's) I was like, Wow - he's quiet - lol!!! WOW - was I ever wrong! You are another one who's ability to easily make conversation has helped me to get adjusted. Thanks-you and keep blessing people like you have me! Well, I guess that is good for now. I may be way off in some of my observations, but I just wanted to encourage you guys - keep glorifying God (as if you wouldn't...)! -ME Tai Sophia finished on 10:02 AM.

Tai Sophia PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO STOP BY - I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHO VISITED! I am 18 at the moment. I am a Christian and I love God and all he is doing in my life... even if I can't understand it all right now. I enjoy doing many things - which, some might say, makes me easy to get along with...maybe. I enjoy playing my violin, reading (lots), writing, art, animals, friends, and SINGING IN THE SHOWER!!! God's grace is SO amazing!
