Well. I think God has for sure been answering my prayers with my roommates. Being with them has been such a great sisterhood! It's nice to be able to share with one another and just have the conversation be fully about God. Nothing is more satisfying than He is! But it's also a good time to hang out with some random new friends!
Yesterday, in order to remember the Sabath, we decided to be lazy and just revel in God. We went to church in the morning and met up with one of our friends from studio! She was so happy to be with us! After church, we went back out our apartment, sans our friend from studio, and just hung out, doing a little bit of reading and researching. After awhile, we decided to pack a little snack/lunch (oranges....and LOTS of CHOCOLATE!) and a blanket. Then, we hopped on the tram and went to this huge park near our place. We sat down on the GRASS (there is virtually NONE in Rome) and just relaxed. After awhile, this group of guys came in front of us and started playing FOOTBALL! Not soccer, legit football. It was so hilarious, never have we seen a group of guys, our age, who couldn't even throw the ball! Obnoxious. After awhile, they started playing a mini game and we got to watch them be obnoxious. Then, Katelyn ran and grabbed the ball when it landed by us and asked to play so eventually, all three of us jut got up and played with them. It was quite a lot of fun, especially since these guys were only about playing, and not about trying to get something else! There english was very nice so we could communicate.
After awhile, they had to take a smoke break and it was getting late, so we packed up and went home. Once we got home. We decided to do a reading for class. Then, we got bored so we took a break and made popcorn balls! (recipe will be at the end!) We gave one to each of our roomies, then pulled our beds together and watched Prince of Egypt! It was quite a wonderful night! I think God just wanted us to revel in our sisterhood and in Him.
God has also been helping me a lot with my patience with others, and it's been so wonderful, knowing he is there when a situation is getting tense or stressful because I can just lean on Him and know that everything is going to be OK.
If you want to know an extra interesting story, ask me about the dream I had. It is rather odd and I'm still not quite sure of the significance of the whole thing, but I liked it!
RECIPE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As usual, you must make the popcorn from scratch.
Heat up the oil (1/2 cup)
put the seeds in the bottom. (I/4 cupish...)
Be sure to stir the whole time. Once they start to pop, put a lid on and shake it, alternating between putting the pot on the heat and shaking until all the seeds are popped!
Put in a bowl and let it cool.
Now, heat up some butter and marshmallows.
I would say....like 2 TBS butter
A whole pack or marshmallows?
Chocolate Powder (2TBS)
Once thoroughly heated, quickly add the chocolate powder and mix with a pinch of salt. Stir together and take off the heat (it should have been medium heat). Slowly add in the popcorn and stir it together like you would with rice crispies. Once it's all mixed, pull off some globs and roll into balls! If you want, mix in some M&M's or nuts or sprinkles or chocolate chips whatever you fancy! Enjoy and happy early Halloween!
