Weekend Thoughts

Today has been a long day! Usually Saturdays aren't that way...but I guess it was just going along with our entire week! We went to the UCF game today with Kayleigh, Barry, and Josh- it was the first one we have been to since the new stadium was built- it was a blast! We stood the entire game, mostly because everyone else did and of course I am so short that if the people in front of me were standing, I had to be, too. It was still fun though...not for my feet but that's okay :) I was glad UCF won...they are now on their way to the Liberty Bowl. That's big for them! I'm still a FSU and LSU fan but it's always good to see UCF do well.

We traveled to Tampa on Thursday for the funeral for Matt's grandfather. We had the visitation on Thursday and then the funeral on Friday. It went as well as something like that could go...I was happy to see his grandmother doing well and she was the one reminding us that he is at peace now. Matt spoke at the funeral...I was so proud. He did great and really helped everyone remember the person his grandfather was. We are so thankful for all of the people in our lives who were there for us...we're thankful for all the prayers. To all of you who prayed and were just there for us in any way- you'll never know how much it meant!

It's been a crazy week...It's amazing how you can see God work in so many ways. Matt's grandmother is a testament to how He works and comforts. She is an inspiring and strong person...Through so many difficult moments I can see God right there...It's amazing and sometimes it's so great I can't even describe it with words!

On another encouraging note...Matt and I were at the store this past week and ran into a fellow C3er...He was talking to us about how excited he was to spend the money on a need for someone and then proceeded to tell us how awesome he thinks it is that we're moving to the theater. He was saying how exciting he thinks it is to think of how many we'll be able to reach being in the new location. It was so wonderful to hear this...it was refreshing! The people at C3 are amazing and it feels great to be a part of a community that is so incredibly positive and excited! The energy is contagious! Well, I just wanted to share- time for bed soon and then tomorrow is another Sunday at C3- I know it will be amazing...I can't wait!
