I've been experiencing alot of different foods lately. Since I've been going to JCA and fellowshipping with them I've tried Greek, Korean, and Indian food. They like to dine-out alot. It's fun to try new foods. And for the most part I liked them all. My favorite would have to be Korean BBQ.
I had the day off from work (again) and I joined the JCA Missions Team for training. They are leaving for India at the end of June. I joined them to prepare for New Orleans/Mississippi. We prayed for awhile. Then they usually go running (about 3 miles) and do other exercises. But instead we blessed a couple of the church members by cleaning their apartments for them (it was a suprise). After that we went to a vegeterian indian restaurant. My guess is that they are getting aquainted with indian food now so it won't be such a suprise later.
Yesturday I joined JCA for prayer. They have prayer meetings every Thursday. I've been going for a few weeks now. Someone asked me if there was a difference between my first time praying with them and last night. Ironically, I noticed I was opening up more in prayer. The first time I was quietly praying and not sure how to talk to God (it had been awhile). But last night I felt compelled to press into God's presence. It was easier to pray and praise.
Tonight we are having an arts and crafts night. People are coming over my apartment for Sloppy Joe's and games before we get artsy.
Last Saturday we went white water rafting. We had to wear helmets. I've never had to do that before. We went over some class-4 rapids and alot of class-3's. It was great. Our guide was fun. We did really well and no one fell in. Our guide decided to tip the raft and most of us fell in on the last rapid. There was one rapid called Butt-Crack-Rock. The rock there is shaped round like a butt sticking out of the water and has a huge split down the center that makes it look very much like a butt-crack. Our guide said that last summer a log got wedged into Butt-Crack Rock.
So yeah, I've been hanging out with JCA alot lately. I'm getting everything there. Church services, fellowship, prayer meetings, praise and worship services, missions training, exposure to numerous cultures. I like it there. I hope I find a good church in Mississippi. TCC and JCA proved to me that going to church is key in maintaining a healthy Christian lifestyle.
