Randomness

At the beginning of the school year my youth group attended a back-to-school rally thing, and different people would get up and sing, punctuated by different people from different churches getting up to pray for different things. There were a few hundred high schoolers at this rally. Part of the way through, I feel a tap on my shoulder, look around and my youth pastor whispers, "Hey Lisa, want to pray on the stage?" Regardless of the fact that I said yes, I have this thing with praying aloud, it feels...kind of awkward...this is just me, I think.
So last night, at the 6:45 prayer meeting before youth group, our youth pastor said, "Hey, it just popped into my mind. Tonight's missions night and we're talking about summer trips. Do you want to talk about Compass?" So I wound up talking about Compass to the entire youth group. One of my friends now wants to go, and we're going to talk about this more.
Ah, last minute decisions.

This morning at church was a specific day of service, and people from youth group who wanted to participate could spend the night at church. Meaning, losing to our youth pastor at basketball and hockey for a couple hours and a midnight 7/11 run. Then, a couple of my friends and I wound up in the youth room by ourselves, with Ben and Jerry's ice cream in our bloodstream, and we talked and drew on each other with green Sharpies until 2:30 in the morning.
