It's gotten to the point where I'm not sure what day it is. I kind of like it when it's like that. I believe it's Friday. Yes, it is. I woke up around 2, but then came downstairs and have been in and out of consciousness on the couch for a couple hours. Now I'm watching the Michigan State game. It's very frustrating. They have not found a groove yet this year and they are playing some ugly ball. My mother just yelled swedish at the tv. Anyways.
Thursday was another good day. Meg came over and we talked, laughed, made lunch, and left some pretty great videos on Adelyn and Jessica's walls. She is always just such a riot. Everyone should know Megan DeVries. Liv, Marissa, and Wes came over at 5, but I had to leave to go to the Bible Study for strippers with my mom. There were two ladies there who used to be dancers but are now involved in ministering to dancers, there were two girls who are currently dancers at Deja Vu, another girl from the Lansing area, me and my mom, and two other ladies from the church. It was an intense hour and a half. It took me awhile to recover from it honestly. The two ex-dancers were both just incredible women. Joy is from Texas and won't be able to come back, but she just like, straight up talked from the Spirit. It was amazing. Annie is the leader and she was also just amazing. The two girls had this inner strength too and such big and beautiful hearts, and it was so cool to see and understand that God works in and through dancers and that he is moving big in even strip clubs. It was just unexplainable to be able to see not only the beauty and capability of people who are in such dark situations to have this beautiful light, but also to understand how big, creative, and inclusive our God is. Even strip clubs can't escape His power and work. At the same time, it was heartbreaking to know that I was leaving to hang out with friends and such, but the two girls were heading into work, back into the darkness. Like I said, it was pretty intense and something I'm still processing. I really think I might drive up every other week and keep going. Annie and Joy went and did stripper ministry last night and Annie said it was the best outreach they'd ever had. Praise God.
After that, I came back and hung out with Liv, Marissa, and Wes. We went to Meridian Mall to get Liv some shoes, and went back to, surprise surprise, Bubble Island. We played Euchre and Livia and I lost pretty badly. We came back to my house, and Wes and I had the most amazing Euchre comeback I've ever been a part of. We were down like, 7 to 2, and we came back and won it. It was pretty fun. We watched Superstar and then they left around 2. Good day. Now I'm off to get ready for New Year's Eve party at Livia's. Here comes 2011! But not after a tribute to 2010...
