Catalyst…
I had the super cool opportunity to go to some labs at the Catalyst Conference that’s going on this week in Atlanta with Kelly. I’m pretty sure my favorite speaker was David Bastone who spoke on building a momentum for justice. He started the Not for Sale Campaign to end slavery. Bastone said that we are all linked to slavery; in the clothes we wear, tires we drive on, coffee we drink…we literally wear people’s suffering. It’s so true. We do.

Laughter…
Has God ever done anything that just made you laugh? Like seriously, laugh out loud funny. I honestly considered not posting this because it might make some people uncomfortable…but here goes. The other night I was at my apartment lounging around with Audrey & Katie and I had the WORST lady aches ever. They had me locked into the fetal position on the couch. In the midst of my complaining I said to the girls, “Why do these have to hurt soooo bad!” Katie responded, “Because of the fall (as in when Eve ate the fruit)!” To which I responded with, “but we’re under a new covenant…not fair”. So, I nonchalantly said, “God, we’re under a new covenant, please take these pains away”.
Yep, you guessed it, gone. All gone. In that instant, the pain was gone. My response…was laughter. I just started laughing. Katie and Audrey both mentioned something about me being spoiled and having way too much favor. I couldn’t stop laughing. Seriously, this was funny. I genuinely didn’t expect God to heal me. I was sincere but didn’t actually think that The Lord of Lords and the King of Kings would actually stop what he was doing to take care of something so small! But yup, He healed me. It was not some elaborate prayer just me, a daughter, asking her Daddy to make the pain stop.
TGIF…
A last little laugh before ending this random Friday update…today I was sitting at my desk working so hard like a busy little beaver when I had to get up really quick to head to the printer at the end of the room. Well, turns out my shoe lace was tangled into the wheel of my chair and I almost took out Tangi’s desk! I literally couldn’t move without dragging my chair with me. Luckily, Laura is awesome and quickly came to the rescue to free me from my bondage.
