you are a beautiful person inside & out... and i am SO thankful to have you in my life!!! you are a blessing~ i love you, babe!! looking forward to many many years of memories, laughs, good times... know that you are in my prayers!!!

its a small small world.

i went to a wedding this weekend. guests of the groom.
(didn't know him TOO well but he invited our whole youth staff so about six of us were there with some of our kids).

give up?

i saw MARGARET~ in fact, the bride was her cousin! is it crazy or what?

this was the first time we saw each other since we left berkeley... so random, no?

anyway, it was nice seeing you, babe~ x)


p.s. i miss everyone ALOT~ i don't know why but i feel SO nostalgic...

i feel lazy & unmotivated lately.

i NEED to exercise.

there's a new LA fitness opening in my neighborhood.

maybe i should join the gym.

memberships are HECKA expensive though.


dang~ i should have taken MORE advantage of the RSF.

i have not been this physically exhausted in quite a while.

the past week and a half has been SO crazy... and this week will get even crazier. joy.

despite my physical weariness, God has been faithfully filling me up & keeping me going through it all... many MANY blessings! xD

- praise team practice for the upcoming women's night was awesome! its been SUCH a blessing being able to serve together with these ladies... each and every one of them! i can't wait for our praise & worship night! xD

- youth group spring rally 2005 was amazing! seriously, God was SO good to us... tremendous blessings! getting ready for it was long & tiring but SO much fun as well~ i love our youth group kids!!! you guys light up my world! x)

today was full of blessings as well... church picnic... hanging out with friends... missions training... all in all, a long but fruitful day~ thank you LORD for all the ways you pour out your goodness into my life!!!

its been another loooOong day~ i should probably be sleeping right now but here i am blogging... hahaha~

well, since i'm here... how about a quick recap of the past few days~ xD

1. sea world with my cousins, grandparents, and their visitor from korea~ watching the dolphin show... in the rain, wearing our ponchos, drinking hot chocolate(YUM~ YUM~ xD)... yea, it was an interesting experience~

2. friday night bible study~ sharing time with my girls was... AWESOME~ yea, we are struggling... but what a blessing that we can lean on each other through it! i LOVE you girls!!! college outreach put on a pretty powerful skit, too... definitely made me think! thanks guys for the challenge~

3. sophomore DT girls sleepover~ YEA~ YEA~ it was SOOOOOOOOOO fun!!! xD we really know how to have a good time~ hehehe~ my first experience of the naked game... blue candy so good! i want spinach dip! use and abuse them! hahaha~

4. youth group morning prayer & pho~ as always, i got jacked the whole time! hahaha~ will some things never change?

5. spring rally prep~ lots of poster painting... let me tell you, we have got some very talented, artistic kids in our youth group! the posters looked beautiful, guys~ goooood job! YAY! xP

6. our first ever YAG singles fellowship~ basically, lots of food & chill time... good stuff~ there was SO much meat... no veggies... hahaha~

7. missions training~ you know, i'm only JUST starting to get to know them... but i'm seriously SO excited to be preparing to go out with THIS group of brothers & sisters! i look forward to the times we'll share together~ xD

8. DT~ where do i begin... God has blessed me with two amazing girls this year & i truly cherish the times we share~ that we can be open about our fears, our struggles, our frustrations, our uncertainties... i can't believe its already nearing the end! awwWw~ *sniff sniff* i love you girls!!

9. china team fundraising Bowl-A-Thon~ seriously, its SO much fun hanging out with this bunch... i always have a good time when we're together! xD

10. tuesday night prayer mtg~ i realize i've been lacking in doing this as of late... bad me... but it was really refreshing to spend time praying together as a body & lifting up the needs of our church to Him... thank you LORD, that you hear our prayers~

11. WOH praise & worship night planning mtg~ God has truly blessed the women's ministry at our church this year... and i have been so blessed by the sisters i've had the priviledge of serving with~ you girls are a blessing! x)

12. tonight's WOH praise team mtg~ it was such a blessing to see all the girls come out even though alot of them have midterms tomorrow! thanks girls! its been a LONG stressful day just trying to get everything together for the meeting(i even missed YAG bible study... booOo~) but meeting & praying together with the girls for our praise & worship night was just the encouragement i needed~ God is good!

anyway, i think i should stop before it gets any longer... my whole body is hurting... need rest... the only thought going through my head RIGHT NOW is:

dang~ i can't believe i stayed up til now(its 1am)... i'm gonna be hating it tomorrow...
