He set us free

I'm wearing jeans and I get to leave at 1! Yay!

Our communion service last night was good. My pastor gave a short talk (using the end of Lord of the Rings as an illustration) about how Christ didn't balk at that last minute in the Garden, but followed through and did what He came to do. It was simple but moving. During communion time, I was thinking that I can't even imagine the weight of my own sin, let alone everyone's. It's impossible to fathom. After service I ended up staying for pie anyway and saw admael serving! I wanted to talk to her more, but I needed to hurry home to Evan, since he was kind of sad about me staying longer.

My family's church is doing several performances of an elaborate passion play this weekend, and they're all involved with it. My mother sewed most of the costumes, my sister is signing, my dad is directing traffic, and my brother is playing Demon-Possessed Boy. It should be interesting. Ryan and I are going to it tonight. I'll be glad when the play is over and my family can rest. They're exhausted. My mother has been sewing until midnight every night for the past two weeks, making and re-making things according to the whims of the costume director. A few days ago she asked my mom to sew some elaborate bell sleeves, but upon seeing them, decided she didn't like them and cut them off. I would have walked out.

It seems like my two main failure areas are food and finances. I constantly eat and buy things I shouldn't. It's so frustrating.

No lyrics poll today...sorry. I'm just not in the mood to write one. In case I don't post again today, I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Edit: Oh, and on Sunday I can read novels again! I'm so excited!
