Ketchikan, Day 6

I woke up this morning to a blinding headache and the heavy-lidded feeling normally associated with "I want to go back to bed, but that is currently impossible due to the migraine attached to my spinal cord." Ah well. I fought the urge to get up, but then I realized that if I didn't get up and take something for my headache, I would probably die. So I got up.

As Kat was still sleeping, I tried to be very quiet in leaving the room. I grabbed my computer and its power cord--for some reason I can't remember, they were in separate pieces--and made my way ninja-like from the bedroom. I got to the door before it dawned on me that it might be hard to open it without making a lot of noise. After all, my hands were full. I did manage to get it open without too much of a hassle, but after I was out of the room, I remembered that I would need to close the door behind me.

Hmmm. Predicament number two. This was remedied by me perfecting an acrobatic move otherwise known as "I'm too lazy to put down what I have in my hands." This entailed the use of my right foot as I used my toes to grasp the door handle and close it. Yes, I am a ninja. House of Flying Daggers influenced my behavior this morning because that was the last thing I did last night.

Anyhow, this blog is about yesterday, not today, so back to Sunday's events. Sunday was such a good Sabbath. It was the epitome of good Sabbaths. I went to early service with Tyler, and prayer was very powerful. I can tell that God is moving powerfully in this church and that revival is coming to Ketchikan. I feel blessed to be able to see the brink. During prayer, I wrote a prayer in my notebook because I was feeling distant, and then God answered my prayer in service. What gives?! I'm getting somewhat weirded out by all of this...prayer Tuesday, and now this. Seriously, it's weirding me out, but at the same time, it's exciting and it's confirming a lot for me. This isn't really explaining it very well...

Anyhow, after service, Ty and I cleaned the guns from Saturday. Me, the anti-gun girl, has not only fired them, but cleaned them as well. This trip has certainly been educational, amongst many other things. :)

We met up with the girls after second service for lunch at Ocean's View. (I know that means nothing to most people who will read this, but tough.) There was a mixup with soup at lunch b/c I ordered a bowl, Princess had a cup as a side, and I ended up with hers. (Sorry, P!) It was a big "cup." Anyone could make that mistake!!!

After lunch, it was naptime till small group. Okay, there was some conversation and snuggle time with Tyler in there, because it really hit me yesterday that I would be leaving tonight. That hurt. At least it's only three weeks further before Tyler comes back to school. If we can handle two and a half months, we should be able to handle three more weeks. Ideally.

But small group was really good. Again, there's all this confirmation and pointers. It's a lot to come to grips with, a lot to take to heart, a lot to keep in mind. But it's so good. I think this summer has really been preparing me for this past week, because there's a lot that I wouldn't have been ready for had this summer not been like it was. That probably doesn't make much sense...but in other news, my headache is gone! :)

There was some good chill time after small group. ("You know you're charismatic when..." :) ) Kat and I discussed Narnia and God. It's going to be sad not to talk with her as much as we have this past week. MSN is going to be my new best friend again. :) We talked about not being able to room when I leave. *sadness* I really don't want to leave, but I don't have much of a choice in the matter because of RA duties.

I watched part of House of Flying Daggers last night before bed. I was going to finish watching it this morning, but then I started blogging, and well, this blog is getting ginormous. Plus, Kat and I are now watching Lilo & Stitch and a Hilary Duff special on tv. TV bouncing is fun. :) I'll just have to go up and bug Ty at his apartment in the fall so that I can finish the movie. Like I wouldn't be doing that anyway...k, I'm gonna go now.
