Alyssa's ramblings...

Coffee usually includes a dairy product of some sort.

A friend from school may be coming to Youth on Saturday!!! She’s going to let me know today. :o) I feel a little bit bad, though, because when she asked what we do there, I said "There’s almost 200 kids, lots of music (I’m singing! Yay!), Extreme Games, and stuff like that. It’s awesome. :o)" I didn’t mention the preaching part, which would have probably influenced her to stay away. Is that bad? When our Youth pastor was invited to Youth for the first time, he was told (by our senior pastor), "Come to this guitar competition!" and there was a guitar competition, but also preaching, worship, etc. Whatever gets them there, hey! Please, tell me I’m right!

I was on my to Gloria Jeans to get a coffee and cheesecake this morning, but when I walked in I saw my boss! He was at the counter, ordering something. I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded me getting a coffee while I was out getting the mail, but it just freaked me out, so I walked away without him seeing me. Instead, I got some fruit, yoghurt, and an iced coffee. Notably healthier (except for the iced coffee), but I was really hanging out for a Vanilla Latte. Oh well. It’ll be fine and dandy. I enjoyed my yoghurt! And as usual, the iced coffee made me feel really full and bloated. Yippee!

On another note, I probably shouldn’t have any dairy products for a while (ummm, except for my iced coffee and yoghurt. Ahem). My throat is all yucky. Not good, considering I’m singing tonight at a combined Home Group thingy. But I think I can still sing all right. I seem to be able to hit the high notes OK. It’s just a phlegm issue. Too much information? :o) Meanwhile, we’re only doing two songs (one praise and one worship), but I’m excited, because there will be only three of us! The male worship leader, and one other female singer. Thank You, God! You rock! That means that our music directors chose me, and I am special. And it also means that I can sing really loud, so it sounds like there are more than three people singing. And it also means that there won’t be anyone to back me up in singing my harmony (or high melody), so I must be a not-too-bad singer.

I’m really enjoying my blog at the moment. It is fun. BUT, I must read my Bible. I told God that I’d read and pray this lunch time, because tonight I totally want to go off for Him. I want to praise and worship Him with my whole heart, soul and spirit, and I won’t be able to do that if I don’t include Him in the equation. It just wouldn’t work out. :o)
