"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." ~ Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Ah... it's so nice to be up here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. :) I am very tired right now so I may keep this short. I really want to tell you guys about my big idea but I don't know how long I'll last. So I'll just keep going and we'll see how far I get.
Anyway, yes this weekend I'm in Blue Ridge. I'm staying at this cute cabin we're renting along with my Aunt Lori and two of her friends. It's been pretty good so far I've just been sleepy all day and these ladies just talk and talk and talk either about people I don't know or weddings (which, I've been sick of weddings since my sister's in June). So I've been a little bored and quiet but I'm sure it'll be a fun weekend none the less.
The view off the porches is great. It's not like we're at the very peak of the highest mountain in Georgia or anything, but there are several mountains in front of us that create a lovely scene. It's actually a little chilly up here, too, so that makes me very happy. :)
Um... there's not much else to say about the cabin or the mountains. One of these days this weekend, I want to get up early and see the sunrise while doing my Bible study. I think that could be a beautiful moment.
Ok, I'm still awake so I'll tell yall about my idea. So as you may or may not know, at my school, the chapel is very... sad. Not emotionally... just, pitifully. I don't feel like going into it so if you want to know more about it just email me (sdobbie123@aol.com). But anyway, so it's been killing me. I mean, driving me so far up the wall my head's about to bump the ceiling. So God's given me this idea: start a Student Leadership Team.
A Student Leadership Team would...
- come up with new things to do in chapel (in a way, be partially in charge of chapel)
- help start a student band to lead worship for chapel sometimes
- be there for students to come and talk to and we could pray for them
- host spiritually growing events (example: Disciple Now)
Any many more.
I really think it's a good idea. It'd only be for high school and we would have a few representatives from each grade. We'd have meetings and set a goal for the school spiritually. This school could do so much better. It's like they don't even care if their students dread "chapel fridays". I think God could move powerfully in this school if someone would just stepped out and speak for Him.
So I'm praying about it and I think I'll suggest it to the headmaster soon via email. So if you would be so kind, I'd appreciate your prayers about it. ;)
Well, there's my idea and there's my recent news. I'm gonna go to bed now because I'm so sleepy (plus I got a cold). I may write another post later this weekend. Enjoy the cooler weather!
With love for my Lord.
Yours truly,
SD
