Later a really long day at work and a quick trip to the gym only to find out that my class had been cancelled due to the instructor being ill, I decided to pick up the phone and text a few friends to see if anyone was interested in attending this evening's Single Life event at Big Valley Grace.
After a few back and forth texting and a quick dash home to change my clothes, Leslie and I met up to attend the event and boy am I glad that I went. The music and storytelling by Fernando Ortega was amazing! Just listening to him opened up my soul and brought contentment into my day.
The message for this evening's event was delivered by Eric Heard who is the Pastor of Small Groups and Spiritual Growth at Mariners Church in Irvine, CA. His topic was the 7 myths associated with singleness and it was really eye opening to hear him talk about some of the most influential people in the Bible being single. He was also a great storyteller and had us all in stitches with his antidotes.
But the best part of the evening was getting over my fear of attending a singles event at the church. I had a lot of preconceived notions about who would attend and what it would be like and I was more than pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed myself. I will definitely be going to other events in the future!!
