It has definitely been awhile since my last post. Well, we are just at the half-way point of our summer at Northland. I cannot believe we're already past July 4th! So much has happened since my last post, but I will try to remember. Let's see, we will start back at last Friday.
On last Friday, July 1, besides forgetting my best friend's birthday (I'm terrible and really sorry Alex!!), I went to the beach with 4 other interns. It was absolutely gorgeous there! On our way it was raining and we had our doubts about the weather. However, once we got there the sun decided to show up around 11AM. I used lots of sunscreen, took way too many pictures, read lots of my book, and just chilled with Lucy, Andrew, William, and Geoff. It was a great day. Also, my first time at the Atlantic coast! Friday night we returned from the beach and went to Brittany's house, one of the interns, for some home-made Mexican food! I ate WAYY to much that night.
Saturday, July 2, was a pretty relaxing day. I slept in, watched a movie, and prepared to go to the church around 3:00. Saturday night I led worship in kid's church for "Camp Venture." It's amazing how much Northland puts into the services for their children to help create an environment for 1st through 5th graders to worship in. My favorite part of the night was watching one little girl near the front close her eyes and worship Jesus wholeheartedly during "Here I Am to Worship." That night closed off with some fun card games with the interns at Lucy's house. Christian introduced us all to The Great Dalmuti card game.
Sunday, July 3, began very early at 7:30AM sound check at the church. I sang in both the 9AM and 11AM services. William did a great job this weekend of leading most of the worship up front on the platform! After the services a few of the interns came over because my house is very close to the church. We cooked lunch and fell asleep for a short time before returning to the church at 5:00PM. That night I went back to kid's church just to help and hang out. Sunday night Shane took us to a big event called Red Hot and Boom in Altamonte Springs. We went to see the fireworks, which began around 9:30PM, along with the other 50,000 people there.
Monday, July 4, was pretty uneventful during the day. We didn't have to be at the church that day, so I slept in once again. Lucy and I went to scout out an obnoxious 4th of July outfit for the parties that night, but we found nothing. We tried target and goodwill, but I found no American flag shirt or big shiny star jewelry. Needless to say, I found a plain blue shirt in my closet to wear. The festivities began around 5PM at Sarah and Kyle Mattingly's house. They had basically all of the Northland worship team over and many other staff, family, and friends. The night ended at Brittany and Lauren Roberts' house (same house where we ate Mexican food on Friday) with fireworks, swimming, and karaoke!
WOOOO so much information, i know! I had to catch up from the weekend. I know that might have been boring. I'm currently babysitting Pete's kids with Katie and William, so I should probably get back to that now. Hope I didn't bore you. Thanks for reading!!
