This last weekend had busy moments, but also had times of rest and relaxation. Friday started out with Heather and I going to a student led worship night. It was an amazing night of worshiping with the students. These kids are super gifted in music and have hearts longing to know Christ more. Not only was it a time of great worship, it was an encouraging time to see these kids pour out their hearts to their Creator.
After the worship night Heather's small group girls came back to our apartment for a sleepover! It was fun to have the girls over. They played pit, had fondue and then watched a few movies. It is great to be able to have a place for these different dorm/home students to come together and have a night of just them.
Heather had made them chocolate/powdered sugar covered croissants for breakfast before they left. Having a few left over, and knowing how to make my absolute favourite cup of coffee, she brought me breakfast in bed! What an awesome roommate I have!
Once the girls had gone home on Saturday and the house was quiet once again, Heather and I found a link to watch our girls basketball team play in the European Championship Finals! It was an intense game that kept us on the edge of our seats until the final buzzer went off. The girls lost 37-36 in literally the LAST second of the game. While it would have been amazing for them to bring home 1st in their first time ever going this far, we are very proud of the girls for bringing home second!
The remainder of the weekend was very restful as I spent time reading a new novel, had the opportunity to worship at G5 and was able to get a few good naps in.
To end off a great weekend, we spent Sunday evening playing guitar and piano. While that sounds pretty normal on a Sunday for Heather and I, it was in fact quite different. I was playing the piano, and Heather was playing the guitar! The last few days we have spent teaching each other chords on the opposite instrument. Last night we were even able to play through some songs! It was indeed a great way to end the weekend.
And what a great weekend it was! How special to share many moments with you. I think you forgot the croissant and coffee breakfast in bed on Saturday morning before the basketball game ;) I LOVE playing with you... thanks for having the patience to teach me guitar! One string/key at a time!!
