Spider!!!! Part 2

***Read Bekki's post first***

So, during church, really right at the beginning of the preaching, we had just sat down, and I notice this white thing is floating down onto the girls hair in front of me. I thought oh no, she has fuzz in her hair... then it moved... as in CREEPY CRAWLY I HAVE 8 LEGS kind of moved!!!! Omw... ok, if it had been black, that would have been reasonable, I wouldn't have noticed it but since it came straight down and landed onto her black hair and was pure white, then I noticed it. I KNOW I KNOW it probably was NOT poisonous, but come on, who isn't going to get all itchy when they see a spider? Do YOU want one crawling all over you??? I THINK NOT! So, of COURSE I had to let Bekki know, and as you have read from her post, it was not happy news, in fact I quote from her "That spider MUST DIE!". So it sat in the girl's hair for awhile and then decided it was time for a move (since spiders have short lives they relocate often I would assume! See the world in one day!) ANYWAY, it decided to kinda JUMP/FLY to the guy's hair next to the girl, who happened to be sitting right in front of Bekki.. Wrong place to move spider. Lol by that time I had told Jarron and Josh about the spider, so sad to say, none of us had our full attention on the Preacher. Bekki tried to get Josh to give the boy's mom a note, but Josh instead messes around with it and gives it back! Thanks for NOTHING! LOL. So I keep getting chills and all itchy everytime the spider moves.... omw I am getting chills and creepies NOW just thinking about it! So thankfully it moved out of MY view and Josh told us that it decided to jump ship and find new harbor by building a little spider parachute, and head their direction. Ever so thoughtful of those around him, Josh BLEW the spider up towards the front and new destinations to add to the spider's travel journal.. And that was the end of our spider tale, and the beginning of us listening to the service. Don't worry. The whole thing only lasted about half an hour, and he preached for about 2 hours so we still were able to hear what he had to say

*By the way, I seriously feel like I have bugs all over me right now... NOT a good feeling*

Spider!!!!

So last night we went to a youth summit in Lakeside, CA at Brother Bertram's church. Brother Shoemake preached a very awesome (and lengthy) message about revival. At the very beginning of the message Erica felt so inclined to tell me that there was a spider in the girls' hair in front of me. Anyone who knows me, knows my completely irrational and consuming fear of these little beasts. So of course, I am on the defensive immediately, looking around for the little buggers near me. Anywhere there is ONE spider, there are LOTS more!!!! Well. This spider wasn't happy in the girls hair...it had to FLY, yes FLY to this guys hair in front of me. Flip out time. That was all I could see. Nothing else existed other than the white dot on the black hair in front of me. There were four of us enthralled by this stupid beast and I couldn't concentrate on the service. So I wrote a note after about thirty minutes for Josh to hand to the kid's mom: "Sis, your son has a spider in his hair. -Bekki" Well, Josh wouldn't give it to her. So I am paralyzed once again by the white dot. (And it really was just a dot, not large at all). Finally, I pray that God kills the spider, it moves out of my line of sight and I concentrate on the preaching. After church, I am sitting in the seat where the kid was (completely not remembering the arachnid) and FLIPPED when I realized where I was. They failed to tell me that the beast had woven itself a parachute and flew away (away from us, thanks to Josh blowing on it) before altar call. Erica will post her take on this situation later, but I just had to write something about it. Creepy crawling spiders are not of God.
