a blabberful.

-exams next week. NEXT WEEK. how crazy it THAT...i can't believe it either! not ready at all.... :(
may 29- bio. calc
june 1-chem
june 12- exsci (so much to learn in so little time....)

-got tutored in Calc. i think i understand graphs and asymptotes. i think. need to practice.

-YTS. Youth Takeover Sunday-- went well i think, i'm so proud of the team!! improved SO MUCH since the first practice...and having a new bassist and pianist. wow...they were ALL so amazing. cheers to fiona, john, melissa, peter, edwin, and james....and of course alex who coached us the whole way. XD i have to say not many of us were very confident, but had replaced that with nervousness, since it's a first for a sunday and all (except for fiona, i guess)...and i was shaking so much i could breathe deep...but in the end, it went well. the experience of seeing so many just WORSHIP...wow.

-and God always provides. [this calls for another :D ] had to do children's sunday school after the service, for which i hadn't even thought of anything...but i was told to give them coloring sheets for a coloring contest for VBS. yay, and it lasted the whole time. we even had some jokes and crazy IQ puzzles, (none of which i could solve..haha). josh is a genius. i had fun, i hope they did too.
find the next symbol in this sequence:

-softball practice was amazingly cold and windy. BUT it was good anyways, we got to practice the stuff we'd already learned and did more batting. i want to be able to hit on green...need batting gloves. haha my hands were so numb AND painful they stayed in the shape of the bat handle for a while. it feels so rare now to have practice...i dont see how i went to every practice last year since may, but this year's schooling gots priority over softball. :( so when school ends...i'll be there! at every practice...except for the ones in june 18-22. :P if i can't help it. hope leaders can talk more often. praying for O's....

-most people know already...but i'm not going to prom. just the expense, and i wasn't too excited about going...have plenty of acquaintances but i wouldn't feel comfortable spending the night with them. :P i know i'll regret it. but the deadline has passed, so on june 22 i'll be out with a friend who's also not going to prom. well, quality time. sorry to carmen and deb :( but i know you guys would have a great time anyways! feeling the karina-type parties....feel like dressing up and going out for no reason at all!

-going to athletic banquet though. my friend lied both our ways into taking the night school exam early so we could go. (they both landed on june 7) so, going to athletic.

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the JOY of the LORD.

I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the JOY of the LORD.

YES, LORD....

I'm pressed by not crushed,
persecuted, not abandoned
struck down, but not destroyed.
And I'm blessed beyond the curse for his promis will endure
That his joy's gonna be my strength.
THOUGH THE SORROW MAY LAST FOR THE NIGHT
HIS JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.


that's exactly how i felt from friday to saturday. every day's meant to be a second chance for me to glorify God....seek him first, before doing anything else....let the JOY of knowing JESUS be my STRENGTH for the day. step by step...experiencing God in each step.
