this would be at either Abilene state park or Fort phanton(its a lake). picnic basket, pinic food(my version anyway lol) and my scottish blanket.just me and God

noon-1pm: LUNCH

1-2pm: Community Service
*spend an hour picking up trash around campus. very simple.

2-3pm: Scripture Time!
*some more scripture. I'm not good at reading the bible, and I think for China, it's important to be in the habit of doing that because I wont really have a church or people to go to you know?

3-4pm: Panting time!
I want to paint some quotes on canvases...i was gonna just do ones I liked but there's no reason on my walls in my apartment, so I just had this idea while writing this to ask some of my friends what one of their fav bible verse is, put them on canvas, and give it to them? plus, i'm gonna paint something for my Dad's b-day in october. either a sunset, or the Dominican Republic Island( I cant draw or paint so this one problaly wont happen). just for fun...

4-whenever... Movie Time!!
*To Save a Life
*The Nativity Story
*Religilous(misspelled but you can problaly what I mean)
* Passion of the Christ


it's funny coz I've had this idea of a personal retreat day for awhile, and i had the bible time, the painting, the trash picking,the journaling,etc but it felt like it was missing something, something that would make it...special. and then at the retreat, during the prayer walk(i skipped it, i was SO upset that night-that whole day really but especially during the prayer walk time) i started doing my talking outloud to God thing, and crying so hard, and i had this feeling of needing to just get away from everything,everyone, and go somewhere where it was just me and God, but i didnt know what or how to do that, and then later at the devo i told taylor and she suggested going to nature,like fort phanton,etc and it was perfect! so then my mind connected it to my personal retreat day, that was missing something to make it special and it just...clicked. i find it amazing that what my retreat day was missing to make it special was...God time. so am going to have a picnic with God. lol so dorky huh? am way excited! am planning this for the saturday of fall break, so sometime around october. i don't know how cold it will be by then, so that does have me a little worried but i'll see how the temperature is come october, and if it's way cold at the start of october, i'll move it up. or buy an electric blanket or something. lol
