wow

i mean wow.

i dont think i can sum the past week up much better than that.
except for maybe with "yahtzee" or "tadashi" or "got 'em" or "yeah, you did"

i cant really express everything that has happened in the past week. God has taken me on a roller coaster. it started with some stubborness on my part which turned into humility and willingness after He broke me. from there to a whole range of emotions and feelings. but in the past week he has led me through some incredible experiences and shown himself to me in a way that i have not experienced in a long time.

on top of all of this, by being willing to be humble and listen to Him and accept a gracious invitation, i was able to spend some wonderful time with some great people. meeting new people and having a great time. having people think i was funny and fun and crazy and smart and even attractive was a bonus that i would have never expected, but it really was about being in God's nature and his presence with other believers who are awesome men and women of God and who like to have fun.

all i have to say is that i had a great time, on the slopes and off, and i am very thankful to everyone there for being so welcoming and friendly. outgoing personalities only go so far, people have to be willing to step outside their personal comfort zones as well. id especially like to thank john for inviting me, in spite of everything. and the fact that he had a good enough understanding of my personality and how i relate to people to know that i would not be phased at all by being with 10 other people that know each other very well, 7 of whom ive never met before. it all worked out. and im very thankful for the opportunity and for everything that happened.
