The Call California
So Im sitting in my aunt and uncle's house in San Diego watchin Pirates 3 and about to eat some pie made by my aunt. :) Some of my friends and I drove down here Friday to go to the Call (which was yesterday), and we're leaving tomorrow morning to drive back.
The Call was exhausting, but completely worth the 12 hour drive. Something people coming together to purposely fast and pray for our nation is so absolutely beautiful. It wasn't easy (fasting never is for me, especially when there's kids behind you eating wheat thins..haha), but I feel like we had breakthrough in many ways. It was amazing. And since it's on my mind, let me just encourage anyone reading this to vote come Tuesday. Not only are we voting in the next president of the United States, but we are deciding the future of our country, of our lives. Every choice that is made on those ballots will affect you in some way, and if everyone who thinks that their vote won't make a difference would stand up for what they believe in and vote, then it really would make the difference. That's all I have to say about that issue..the end. haha
Today, we went to the beach and just walked around and hung out..I have to say that Im so thankful for who came with me..we're a fun bunch..lessee..it's Andrew from Canada, Joel from Virginia, and Janelle from Hong Kong/Indiana :) We had such an awesome time today...just hanging out and looking at shops..there will probably be some pictures posted on facebook by either joel or andrew..so check em out :) We found a really good mexican restuarant and watched the sunset, then we came back to my aunt's house and she made us spaghetti (a great reprise from dorm food!). It's been a great day, and Im not really looking forward to the long drive home tomorrow, though I have missed some of my dorm mates, so I.ll be glad to see them again! :)
That's all the time I have to write today, Andrew wants to check his facebook..lol. Sorry if some of this was scatterbrained, Im still a little wore out from yesterday.
