the weekend. ♥

this weekend was especially great:)

it was leadership training & pastor conor had great things planned for us to do!

first we handed out 1000 cups of free hot chocolate at a local high school's

football game. all the cups had our youth group's logo on them which i thought was pretty cool! 

then we went back to church, stayed up very late playing games like 

psychiatrist & hide & go seek. 

SUPER SLEEP OVER:

that was taken at approximately 4am. i am in the middle & probably not asleep.

but i can pretend.

in the morning we woke up early & ate breakfast together 

next on the agenda was the Milwaukee Art Museum aka

the place to go for inspiration. the inside inspires most. the outside is the part i like. 

we wandered around in there for a while & then got together & talked about it. 

Nick, the junior high pastor, brought up something that really got me thinking:

if you ask an artist what their favorite thing about their masterpiece is, the reply will be something you would

have never even pointed out. something so intricate & complicated that you may have never even noticed.

in the same way, if you were to ask God what his favorite thing about you is, you will get a reply you would

have never seen coming. He knows you better than you know yourself. :)

this is johanna. she is seriously the greatest person ever. & she's beautiful. i love her.

our next stop was this lighthouse. it was so awesome we got to go all the way to the top & see this view:

breathtaking, really. 

i love my friends
