Beach

I was invited by a new friend to go to the Beach with him and his college group from Padre Island Baptist...I'm really good friends with the youth leader there & he'll be at the beach too, but that means I'll only know 3 people: my friend (the youth leader) and his wife, and my new friend. I don't like going places where I don't know most of the people...especially the Beach--the first time I meet them I'm going to be in a swim suit-yuck. I'm supposed to meet them there in an hour....still haven't made up my mind if I'm going tonight...
Hoping to be courageous,

Wednesday night service

Megan R and I went to PIBC last night for their youth/college Wednesday night service. We had a great time. My friend Eric is the Youth Pastor there & he, of course, made us feel welcome/embarassed with his little squeal of 'AmbER' when I walked in. lol. It was pretty funny. Nobody else said a word to us until after the service when I told Eric that...then everyone became friendly.

It's so true though that people need a nudge to talk to new people. I've been so comfortable at Oso with my group of friends and working and I think that maybe I've been doing the same....staying in my comfort zone and not jumping out and saying Hi to people who are visiting.

I was very excited about the worship music. It was very much like Oso (We sang Marvelous Light, which I've heard like a bazillion times since B2B) but geared toward youth-fast paced songs that they could jump around to. Eric recorded a CD demo during Spring Break (which i got to hear at SCS right after he recorded it). It's a great CD, and we were lucky enough to be there as he debuted 4 of the songs. I can't wait for the CD to come out next month so that I can buy it!

All in all, it was a great evening that we ended with Taco Bell. =)
