'Breathe them deep into your lungs'

rdm_ation This weekend was awesome. I went on a 'camp' with N's church group, and it was so lovely just to be able to stop and relax for a day.
I did feel a bit anti-social, because I got there and had no energy so I chilled with my phone's slow internet and my Glee playlist on my ipod, but then I got dragged into a hilarious game called 'last word' that had us all in hysterics. And ate copious amounts of amazing food, and general silliness.
I got home, and have just been messing around here.
I did have a couple of moments on the weekend that I want to share though. It was a bit strange to be back in a Bible study kind of thing after a year of struggling with my faith and not going to church - but I couldn't have asked for better people to go back to it with. If/when I move over that side of town, I will definitely be going to church there. They feel like home.
In a related note, 'Steer' by Missy Higgins was played while a reflection time was happening, and I freaked out. You see, the very first time I went to this group (they call it 'Deeper') this song came on my ipod on the way home and I was struck with the utter relevance it had to how I felt with them, that I had once again found a spiritual home so to speak. For it to randomly be the song played today? Mind-blowing.
Just one more thing to say. I find the most wonderful things on tumblr. This is a song I love, covered by a different artist that I adore - and that sings in a pretty different genre. Somehow it works. Love her <3
That's all from me tonight!
Happy, relaxed Lauren is happy.

You turn over one of each, and you have to name things that start with the letter about the topic. There's also a randomly timed buzzer, and you have to be the last appropriate response before it goes off. It got so ridiculous and funny :D

Date: 2011-05-30 02:29 pm (UTC)I know right? It's a bit ridiculous. Even tonight, when I told myself I'd go to bed at midnight I'm still up half an hour later XD
Love You
Date: 2011-05-30 02:20 pm (UTC)Also, sometimes I envy you your faith, and in that respect, I'm glad you've found somewhere that you can feel at home in it again.
Much love
Ame.

It means a lot when my friends say that to me, honestly. Much better than criticising me for it anyway.
Love you too
