Apostrophe?

I dunno if I had an apostrophe or if I just found a new way to think about something...either way, it's definitely interesting.

Today I went to my old church with my dad since my mom's up in New York. During the Sunday School hour, the high schoolers went up to the Fellowship Hall to have kind of a mixed class with the adults. The class...wasn't too hot, although there was an awesome joke...

*pause for retelling of awesome joke*

A long time ago, two Irish men lived on opposite sides of the river. Every morning, they would go down to the river and shout at each other. Patrick would yell, "Clarence!!! If there wasn't a river between us, I would beat you up!" and Clarence would yell the same thing right back. One day, a covered bridge was built over the river, connecting the two men's land. Sitting in the house, Patrick's wife asked, "Well...there's a bridge, why don't you go over and finally beat up Clarence?" and Patrick says "I'll go down and do it right now!" So he heads off for the bridge. Before he crosses, he looks up, sees a sign, and heads back home. His wife comments, "You're back early..." and he says "I saw a warning sign...it said "CLEARENCE 13 FEET 6 INCHES"...he never looked that tall when he was on the other side of the river..."

*unpause*

After Sunday School was done, Wendy (youth leader when I was in middle school, amazing women, she's been there for me during everything with my parents) came and found me and we just started talking. For like...ten or fifteen minutes we just sat there and had an awesome conversation about everything that's been going on in my life.

At one point, I was telling her that my classes are harder this year and I have more low A's and some high B's and it really bugs me. And she just looked at me and said, "Rachel...God doesn't care about straight A's."

OH. SNAP...

She went on and talked about how God knows the grades I'm gonna get, He knows the college I'll get into, so I don't need to stress about those things...instead, I need to focus my time on Him and my relationship with Him.

That was just like...WOAH...

It was an awesome conversation.
