Wedding Crashing.

Today I crashed a wedding for the very first time... 
and i think the best part about it, is the fact that i had no idea i was going to go to the wedding until 40 mins before it started.  My Omi ( grandmother in german) called me up and asked me to go.  Now to fully understand the context of this, it would be helpful for you to know that my Omi lives an hour and 40 mins away. so we rarely get to see each other and she has been asking me to cut her hair for her for about a month now, but i have been too busy to make my usual trek down to her house.  Now the wedding she was at ended up being about 5 minutes from where i live so i told her yesterday to give me a call if she had time in between the ceremony and the reception and i could come pick her up, show her my apt and if there was time give her a haircut.
 But she one-uped me and called me this afternoon at 2:20 and told me to come to the wedding ( i actually know the couple getting married so it wasn't a complete crash) so i quickly threw on a dress and went. then after the ceremony ( i had to intention of going to the reception un invited) i absconded with my Omi to show her my apartment and give her a quick haircut and style so that she could arrive at the reception in style. 
  My Omi is an amazing woman, if i could be half the woman that she is i would consider myself lucky. she is 81 and still has so much energy. Not only that but she is a good woman, an amazing cook and loves Jesus so very much. She is mother to 6 children and raised them well, all the while struggling to learn a second language in a foreign country. i am so blessed to have her as an example in my life, and to be able to spend the time that i get with her. i should make more of an effort than i do. i should.
     so that has been my sunday, a bit unexpected and a lot of fun. i started out the morning by reading in 1 Corinthians 13. " Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails"    Man, wow, i feel like every time i read that passage its a good solid slap across the face.  Reminding me of how i need to be living and treating others. I see it so exemplified in my Omi and my mom and i want to be like them. i want to love like they do. fully, without reserve, without thought of self gain or anything like that.
God is doing big things, big things and its got me excited.
