This weekend I got to take a very quick trip to Chicago with my friends Cassie and Kami. Our purpose in going was to visit our friend Anne who lives there, and also to visit the botanical gardens down there (well, that was Cass and Kami's agenda at least,they are addicted to gardens! not a addiction, eh?). We ate lots of fabulous food in India Town and China Town, which could have been worth the trip down there alone! We also ate some amazing Chicago-style pizza. Our friend Anne moved to Chicago about a year ago to work as a physican's assistant at a clinic. It was awesome hearing about her job. She works in a Christian clinic and most of her patients are lower income and without insurance. The staff their see their patients and then they pray with them to be physically healed in addition to other prayer concerns. This is awesome!
We visited Millenium Park on Saturday, which I loved! See the picture of the cloud, which is a huge metal thing that is reflective.
Saturday night I attempted to dye my hair brown. But did it work? No!! It may be just a smidge darker - the shade it usually looks when I haven't watched my hair for a couple days. Ha!
I went with Anne to her church on Sunday and was very inspired. The church is called New Community Covenant Church and the woman preacher used my absolute favorite Bible passage as a springboard for her sermon: Acts 2:42-48. She then tied talked about why Life Change is a core value at their church and it made so much sense. It's in the times of Life Change that people draw nearer to God and that He challenges us and changes us. The church is probably one of the most ethnicly diverse church I find this so BEAUTIFUL! People of different races and ethnicities and nationalities worshipping together! AWESOME! A little slice of heaven.
I love Chicago. I could picture myself living there for a few years someday....
