Thanksgiving Weekend

I had an awesome weekend. One of the best I've had. I am so thankful for what God has given me in my life, SO thankful. But I just feel like there's something missing. I'd tell you more about my weekend, a lot more, but there's too much to say. To whoever is reading this, talk with me. Connect with me.

I love you guys.

This week hasn't been very exciting at all until Friday. All I did was go to school, stay home, and be lazy. On Friday, I went to GPC and had fun. I learned about another parable, the one about the weeds and the crops. It kills me to think that most of my family isn't going to end up in heaven. They're the weeds that won't end up in the barn after being plucked. My mom, dad, brother, cousins, uncles, aunts, grandma. I love them, so, so much. It's depressing.. But I'll continue to pray for them. So enough of the sad stuff.. After small groups, we had praise. I needed it. The state of being in worship just feels so holy, and good. I feel that nothing else but God matters. Then after church, I went to Sam Back's house to stay the night. Sam wasn't back yet, so Grace and I made delicious fried rice while having a deep conversation. Kids our age shouldn't be going through so many problems.. It's upsetting. Then at around 1AM Sam came back. We talked about stuff.. Haha. Good and bad stuff I guess. It's funny how I can feel pretty comfortable about talking about things that I don't normally talk about to some of the people at GPC. I've only been going there for a couple of months, but I feel at home when I'm with these people. I feel different.

The next morning, Sam dropped Grace and I off to volunteer for Milal (밀알). We help kids with disabilities there. Towards the end of the volunteering, we did tae kwon do for exercise. I got so into it, hahahaha. (I'm a freaking ninja, you best believe it.) Then after Milal, I went to the mall with Grace Back, Michael Kim, and Brian Na. It was pretty fun. We went around stores asking for job applications. Poor Brian only got around two applications because of his age, Hahahaha. Prayer meeting that night was unforgettable. I've never been to one of the prayer meetings on Saturday, so it was quite the experience. I learned that everyone one of us has our own personal issues, even if they appear happy and joyful on the outside. In my prayer meeting group, I finally said what I've been trying to say, and it felt good.. Even though I was crying like a baby. I know now that people have my back.. And that I can go to anyone for help. And I know now that I can stop putting on a mask of fake happiness, and I can wake up and know that there are people that love me. I am not alone. Thank you God.

My First Blog Post.

As you can see, this is my first blog post. After reading some of my friend's blogs, hearing about their day, and what they have to say about the world, I thought, "This is cool." I found that this blog site was a perfect opportunity to say whatever is on my mind, say how I'm feeling, or express my opinions on random topics. It fascinated me to read these blogs of my friends because I never knew that they would think that in their head, and it was cool to see things in their perspective. And now you get to see things in mine.

Today was actually pretty decent. I woke up tired (duh), and went to school. I fell asleep during my first class period, so I guess that's not very exciting. I did a presentation in Spanish today about the Harry Potter Puppet I made.. It was pretty good, haha. And then after school, I went home and took a nap. I woke up an hour later to my alarm clock being obnoxious, so I set it so that I could get 20 minutes more sleep. (I needed it) Then after the 20 minutes, I woke up again and saw out of my bedroom window, that the sky was dark. Everything was dark and I could hear the sound of water dropping from the sky. I saw occasional flashes of light and heard huge banging sounds. There was rain, lightning, and thunder. After noticing this, I got out of my bed and went on the computer. I made this blog, and here I am! Typing and typing. I'm also waiting for Josh to pick me up at 6, so that I can go to church. I'm really excited about that. It's JP and Andy's birthday today, so it should be good. It's currently 5:38, so I should probably go. This first blog post was.. interesting. Hopefully I can write more later today or tomorrow. Adios.
