Sleepover

I had a small group sleepover last night. Not too many girls came, but those that did had a good time. We choreographed a dance to Ashlee Simpson's "L-O-V-E," painted our nails crazy (I currently have dark purple with white tips), made smores, watched Clueless (well, those who stayed awake). Lots o' junior high fun. What we didn't do was have any deep meaningful conversations or discussions. Part of me feels like I should have been shepherding/teaching/imparting Biblical truth (other than telling onscreen Dionne she should "stay that way until you're married" when she remarks "technically, I am a virgin"). On the other hand, I don't know these girls super-well and some bonding time was probably in order. Hopefully, I've laid the ground work for future conversations, rather than just missing an opportunity to have one.

I always felt that way with my freshman group of girls, and I think part of it is you have to build up relationships, and part of it is just the age that they are at. They are not very self-aware or easily able to express ideas or emotions because their brains are not that developed yet. So, don't feel bad. I'm sure they all had a super fun time.
