Ultimate Frisbee, Sardines, and Shabbat

Today was a pretty awesome day. No classes. So I spent it trying desperately to read in the library for homework. And with a worship team meeting. And playing Ultimate Frisbee. And celebrating Shabbat. And playing sardines...

Let's start with the worship team meeting. I'm on the worship team here! This is my first time doing a worship team (second if you count the one time I accompanied on piano at the Springs). I'm on a team with two other people. And there's about four teams. So we'll play once a month. Pretty cool. I'll be playing piano. ^_^ So we met to discuss vision for vespers, and then went on our day.

Ultimate Frisbee was pretty awesome. However, I stink at it. I think I had a catch rate of 5%. It was pretty bad. So I walked up and down the field, jumping in peoples' faces every so often. Funny story, I was saying this exact thing to one of the girls on my team, and then paused slight to jump at one of the guys to distract him, and actually hit his face! It was kinda embarrassing, but I didn't hit him very hard, and it was also pretty funny too.

Shabbat shalom! We celebrate Shabbat on Saturday for the most part, so we have a small service, with vespers (which I'll be doing worship during), and I think we light candles. Today was an odd Friday night meal 'cause we had BBQ.

And sardines... oye, that was fun. We did about three rounds, but I couldn't really enjoy it. See, during some of the events of today, I hurt my lower back doing... something. I'm not sure what. But it really, really hurts when I sit in the wrong way, go up stairs, or laugh hard. I feel like a cripple, because while going up and down all those stairs, I was taking my time and holding onto the railing to pull myself up or down.

That's definitely a prayer request now. I think some sleep will do me good, but I really cannot deal with my back hurting right now. Sunday is our next field study, and I need to be able to walk without cringing. Thankfully, my ankle has not been complaining (which has been a real blessing, especially since I was running around in my Chacos). So that's one less thing to worry about. But my lower back really aches. Prayer would be much appreciated for that. :)

Tomorrow I'm going to a congregation since we have a field study on Sunday.

Shabbat shalom everyone!
