Funeral Party

This weekend, I went home for my cousin’s funeral. I cried tears of joy and a little bit of sorrow during singspiration. It was really exciting to see Ben lead worship and bring us back to the cross with songs like “When I Survey the Wonderous Cross” and “Blessed Be the Name.” Glory to God. My cousin is now in heaven.

I wish I could have spent more time with my friends and family back home. Those of you back home, you will continue to be in my prayers.

Now, I have two homes. When I am at one place, I long for the other.

My dad says I will make some of my best friends in my college years. I know this is definitely true for me. Friends are really encouraging. I hope I’m as encouraging as they are.

I was glad to be back in Grove City on Sunday. Sunday school was very helpful. It reminded me that I should be purposeful in glorifying God, every day, in all the choices that appear before me. At worship, the sermon was on Revelation 21, which was a great comfort to me. After that, I did the usual; lunch, nap, sermon party, dinner, evening worship at Hillcrest, and then college fellowship.

Some other randomness:
I slept at my cousin’s house Friday night. I didn’t read any of the textbooks that I packed on the airplane. Matt’s grandma treated us to dinner Saturday night. Andy and I sang a hymn (Great is Thy Faithfulness) in the car on the way back from Hillcrest’s evening worship service. I was very giddy, bouncy, and energetic walking to and from the Hughes.
