103-jaw-dropping

My Top 3

yes, this is indeed what friends do when bored.

back to my post’s heading.

jaw dropping. that’s the only word i can use to describe this past weekend. it’s been full of blessings, love, eye openers. let’s start.

30 hour famine. i was so glad to see all the new faces, and especially the middle schoolers. this is one event where the number of middle schoolers maybe outnumbered the high schoolers. or..were close to anyway. and it just makes me so happy to see the youth of our church bond together overnight while playing games and participating in activites. i think lighthouse has grown a lot considering “cliques” and excluding people. friday night was good-although i was a little hungry from fasting ><;;

volunteering at laguna gloria was pretty good; we had four volunteers for seven kids though o_o but that’s okay, because we did paper mache that day, so it required a lot of work! and jonathan called in themiddle and i got to talk to him for like. fourteen seconds (≧▽≦) but either way..then i went back to lighthouse for thirty hour and slept/sat around with kku, james, and michael until the other kids got back from handing bags out to the homeless downtown.  then we played some games, sang songs, and broke the fast together. it was such a fun day! (no homework, either!)

then kates and i went back to my house, and we played on the webcam, talked about some stuff, ate, etc. then it came time to go to praise night! we drove kku and christine as well. when we first got there, i was a little anxious. i didnt really know anyone there except a few kids from acc, and i wasn’t sure if i would really be able to connect with what was going to happen. after a little while of trying to search for people, moving seats, and taking pictures, the night finally started. who knew that david jung was the lead worshipper? i’m not sure if spoken word was presented before praise or the other way around, but either way, it was great. david led the audience with maybe seven-ish songs? i was so surprised at how everything worked. it was something similar to a concert, to be honest, with backup singers, multiple instruments, and with everyone crowding up around the stage.
though david sung a few songs that i wasn’t familiar with, it was amazing to be able to see people from everywhere, not just akpc, and of all ages as well, singing and praising God with all their hearts.  everyone was gathered together that one night for one purpose-to praise the Lord! and oh, how great it was! the night proceeded with skits, dances, and more songs.  after a concise, but nice sermon from their Pastor Yu, the praise team once again closed the night with a series of beastly songs. it was so cool to be able to see a true worship leader, able to lead the people in getting excited to worship our almighty God.  After the songs ended, my hearing was fuzzy, i was sweating like crazy, and i was truly, honestly, very very .
joyful for the blessings God has showered over me, joyful for all these fellow believers, worshipping the Lord alongside of me, and oh so thankful for my life, and for God putting me exactly where He has intended me to be.

after that, david invited all the people up on stage with him to sing songs. isn’t that crazy? there was a huge group up there! it was such a happy night! then they had food/refreshments for us in theirfellowship hall, so i walked with jooyeon back there, and we got to talk a little bit and got each other caught up on what’s happening. and man, i’m kind of thankful i’m a nerdy asian girl who doesn’t get herself involved with too much drama. because honestly, high schoolers are crazy! @_@ but yeah, i met some new kids, and went home after a little bit.

after showering and watching a bit of SNL, me and katie decided to settledown in front of my laptop and facebook for a billion hours. and then we got into bed. and ended up talking for a long time. which i was really thankful for; it’s been a while since i’ve had a meaningful conversation, let alone God-centered ones.

i guess something that we both realized was that Lighthouse…i guess we both feel as if the upperclassmen, or the people who are supposed to be “role models”, aren’t as spiritual as we should be. and kates asked me-what do you think we should do about that? i was kind of surprised. what can we do? but, i responded, saying that we should probably just try and focus on our own walks first, and hopefully when we’ve become more stable, i think it’ll be natural for us to develop stronger relationships between us and it’ll be easier for us to understand each other andbuild community. that’s what i idealize, i dont know if it’s true though…and we talked about some other interesting topics, which was really good and healthy and all. : ) it was. very good; just, really refreshing and all.

church. breakouts didnt do much for me : | but i did get to talk to sammy au, who i havent seen in a month or so. he makes me so happy! and he’s such a cool kid. man. i dont want this year’s senior class to graduate! we’re all getting old too fast!

in the evening, the fengs and kus came over. had a good time justhanging out and  being like kids; robert from TAMS also called! so we caught up on the phone. and, i guess what really just made me happy was being able to talk to kku, which sounds a little weird, but it seems as though i dont get many chances to talk to him and to see whats really going on in his life. and like i said in an entry earlier, he’s something similar to a brother to me. sometimes he really annoys me, but i cant help but tell him things i would tell a lot of my girlfriends. he’s nice like that, though.

and then i went to bed late because i had to cram all my homework into two hours -_-; but i texted daniel, who’s so nice and adorable.

and since i’ve been thinking about relationships a lot, i found a helpful site.
here are some things from that

i guess i agree with these; i think these are just good reminders for myself of what i want from a relationship, as well as how to stay on track and not deviate from what kind of relationship i should be engaging myself in.

it’s eight fortythree and no homework has been done.

goodbye!
