Christmas fun, random thoughts, and...Jesus??

Yesterday we went over to some friends house to make gingerbread houses, and decorate cookies. As I was building my gingerbread house, I had a random thought... What would Jesus' house look like if he was building a gingerbread house?? What would His house look like in real life?? I imagined a perfect house... even nicer than the ones that you see in contests and stuff. I imagined a small cozy house much like the one in the book The Shack. With flowers, and warm cozy fires, and Him inside baking goods, and waiting to show us His love. Then other random thoughts came to mind... would Jesus have a huge mansion much like that ones that the Bible says that we'll have when we go to heaven? Does Jesus even need a house?? hhmmm.. So many questions to ask Him. :)

Toby Mac Concert

Oh, wow, what a night!! hmm.. where to start... Well first of all Monika surprised me with four tickets to the Toby Mac Winter Wonder Slam Tour on December 13. I had been wanting to go to this concert since I heard about it! I wanted to go soo bad, but it was really expensive. So that wonderful sister of mine came into my room one night and handed me an envelope... ah man was I excited!! December 13th finally arrived, My mom told me that my youthpastor had backstage passese and wanted to know if I want to go with him... So, Eleven of us piled in the church van and headed to the Mabee Center for the Meet and Greet with Toby Mac. All my friends kept making fun of me 'cause I was in awe of Toby when I saw him! We saw him in the hall before we went into the area where Toby was supposed to be and I spotted a guy, and he looked just like him, and I kept staring at him... And of course I was right.:) It was Toby. I looked at Logan and I was like "Umm, thats him guys!!" hehe. When the concert finally started Courtney and I ended up on the seond row. Ah! It was amazing!! That night pretty much mad entire year... hmm.. maybe not... but it was pretty stinkin' AMAZING!!!:)

Washington?

There's this girl, Madison, in my class that is gulable beyond belief. As we were sitting in History class today my friend Angel and I were talking about how Madison believes everything that we say to her. So Angel goes off and says, "Oh! Madison! Kristin's moving to Washington! Did I tell you that? I just found out this morning", and of course, Madison believes her. At first she thought we were joking, but then she realized that were really being serious, and that I really was moving to Washington. So I went on and told her that I found out last week during Thanksgiving break, and that we were moving because of my dads job, and that we only had three more weeks together. At that point she was freaking out, and wasnt really sure what to believe... So we were talking about it all through that hour, and it got around the entire class, and I ended up having a ton of people coming up to me after school and asking me, " Is the whole Washington thing true?"
But as the day went on, I was feeling bad for everyone that thought that I really was moving to Washington, so I had to tell everyone that I wasnt really and that it was all a joke. But, hey, it was stinkin' fun!
