aquire the fire

on the other hand,

i got to be an adult chaperone/spiritual mentor over the weekend for the youth group of the church i attend here in storm lake, at aquire the fire, in the minnie apple (minneapolis), minnesota. was an awesome time, and although i really didn't get the opp (or take the opp, probably more precise) to grow close to many (or any) of the youth, i developed a pretty cool relationship with one of the moms on the trip, and the time spent talking w/ her was really encouraging to me. finally had the opp to let go and just worship, and heaven knows i needed that. also, being an adult and not a youth for the first time at such a big event as this one, it was amazing to just observe the youth.........

and,
i have a few pairs of awesome gaucho-type comfy pants/capris now, and i (heart) them mucho.

yeah, how's that for positivity? i'm beaming, i know.
