On Stardust and time with friends

God taught me something yesterday...well many things actually. One was that flexibility can be a good thing.
Because I was flexible I ended up going to a movie with my sister and two of our friends to a movie in Spartanburg and I absolutely loved the movie. (I didn't end up accomplishing anything that I had planned to do but I didn't mind at all).

When I saw the preview for Stardust I thought that I might enjoy the movie but since I'm not familiar with the original story I wasn't sure if the movie would descend into contrived endings or campiness. That didn't happen...at least in my opinion.

The storyline was one of the most original I have ever read in a book or seen in a movie. I won't get into the storyline because I doubt that I could portray the plot as accurately as it should be.

For the rest of the night I kept saying how much I loved that movie. I felt like saying it more but for the sake of the sanity of those that I was around (:D) I refrained.

The other great part of the night was spending time with my friends. We had so much fun. Nothing unusual occured...just normal laughing, talking and other such things but it's something that I don't have very often, probably because of my own actions.

My hope and prayer is that in the future God will help me get out of my comfort zone and do stuff like this more often.

Laughing and wasting time with friends is one of God's little gifts we can miss when we allow ourselves to get too busy or too regimented. I am glad you had fun.
