What a full weekend! It has been so wonderful though.
Friday, my parents arrived for Family Weekend! Yay! We went to dinner with my roommate and some friends. Afterwards, Mama, Daddy, and I walked down to get ice cream. It was so fun (and delicious). Then we went out separate ways (I hadn't requested Time Away so I had to stay in the dorm).
Saturday, my parents saw my room, toured the study away fair, and then we headed to our Tri Delt family weekend lunch! It was neat to see all my fellow Tri Delts with their families. My parents and I debated about going to the football game, but they hadn't gotten tickets and it was really hot, so we decided to skip it. Instead, we headed to their hotel and watched football. I made a quick trip to the bookstore and the grocery store to get game day food. It was just like old time; I usually half watch football and half watch the game at home. But don't worry, I stopped reading to pull Bama through to (barely) defeat Arkansas. Roll tide!
It was really fun and relaxing. It was nice to just be away from school for a little while! And then to see my parents, that was wonderful. My daddy couldn't come to Family Weekend last year, and it was such a treat to have him here this year. And then I go home in October!
Its a perfect rainy day today. Perfect for staying in bed all day. I listened to a sermon on my computer (I know, not the same as going to church and fellowshipping, but I didn't really sleep well last night), and now my plan is to just get school work crossed off my list!
Here is something that jumped out to me from the sermon I listened to this morning: "God invites us to be a part of His salvation process through missions." I love that. God asks us to join Him in drawing people to Himself. He didn't have to do that; He could easily turn hearts all on His own. But He invites us to join in with Him. What a gift!
And finally, here is my new favorite song. :) Melts my heart!
