Passion and Purity Banquet

Saturday, February 25, 2006

So as of yesterday, I attended this banquet of Stephanie’s Church.  This event was called, “The Passion and Purity Banquet.”  Basically, it was about who, what, where, when, why, and how to be with “the right person” on different perspectives.  The message was strong and the overall feeling I received was very pure (heh, hence the title).  I met a new youth group; REALLY NICE group of kids.  Granted, they told me not to feel awkward, but that couldn’t really be helped.  After all, I was in a room full of people who knew each other but I didn’t.  It’s alright though, I felt very welcomed with these guys.  I had a hard time remembering all the names, too many to count.  There were several testimonials and Stephanie sang a song with this one guy (YES I forgot his name).  And when they were singing the songs, I had no idea what the lyrics were or even how the song went, but I kind of was able to guess how the melody went so I just sang with my instincts with the lyrics up.  The food was delicious!  They thought I was being sarcastic when I said that, but hey, it was good.  I chilled for a little bit after the whole event with some of the other youths. I was invited to go hang out with them again on the next time they meet; I want to, but we’ll see how that goes…  I definitely was inspired after this event; I want to write another spoken word now.  I could go more in depth, but I’m tired, I just want to sleep.  So I’m going to head to bed…

…  and just for the record, IT WAS NOT A DATE.  I told you guys, I have no idea why y’all were getting all worked up about it, I told you I was going as one of her guests, most likely there will be other guests as well.  

Question:  A similar question as the past several times:  Would you rather have everything perfect?  Or everything comfortable?  Perfection or Comfort.

Just my thoughts on that question...I don't think everything in one's life can be perfectly perfect or comfortably comfortable, unless you're God that is. But if I had to, I would choose for everything to be comfortable, because I think if you're comfortable with everything in your life, it goes hand in hand with believing everything in your life is the way you would view it as "perfect". Sure there will be flaws, but it's the way you actually perceive everything. It's like John Mayer's song "Comfortable"...once he felt that everything was comfortable, he saw perfection and flawlessness. I read a quote once somewhere, "Being happy with your life doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It just means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfectons." =]
