Worship Symposium

-
i have an hour before church is gonna start, so i decided on reflecting on this past week, because even though it was just the past weekend that was symposium, the past week has been the most 充實 week! i praise the Lord God Almighty! Interim class seems like FOREVER ago because of how much stuff has happened this week, but yet, it only just ended Tuesday...crazy. like i said on facebook, having symposium is bittersweet. symposium was draining me dry of my energy, but at the same time, it was very reviving! i thoroughly enjoyed the worship services that we had, not just the ones we led, but the opening and closing service in the CFAC. God is so good! i'm not a huge person about the musical aspect of worship because i think it's such a little part to worship as a whole. but that's what was amazing about worship symposium, it didn't just focus on the musical part, grant it, it was a big part, but it also showed us that that's not what it is all about. also, reverend denise kingdom-griere did an amazing job preaching!! i heard her twice and i still loved it! if only i could become a black woman preacher! God is so good! all glory to God for symposium! right before symposium i was bummed because: 1) the preparation for it has been tiring 2) people were returning from all over the world and telling great stories 3) everyone was on interim break while i was working...BUT when symposium began, i could not thank God more for the opportunity He has given me. i have so much more to say about symposium, but i don't think ya'llz wanna read about it. so i'll just journal. as the focus of symposium was, as the apostle Paul wrote: Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I say, Rejoice! (Gospel Choir busts out: Rejoice in the Lord!)

Personal and Communal

my worship team had to lead calvin's chapel and LOFT (sunday service) all week last week...so i was hecka busy and there was almost no breathing time. but PTL! because homework was light, hahaha. anyways, so then i had to be at all the chapels (even though, i technically should go anyways :P) but it made me love calvin's chapel and loft! i went to VERY few of the services last year, so i wasn't too interested, but being sorta "required" to go, i really enjoyed each time. sunday after LOFT i was SO hyper that i was sitting at my desk flipping out, i kept telling everyone how hyper i was and everyone just thought i was crazy...i had so much extra energy with nothing to do. ANYWAYS, the point is: our relationship with Christ is both personal and communal. last year, God was kept reminding me the importance of a personal relationship with Him, and last year i learned to push myself to move forward...so like no more parents/brother reminding me to do what i'm suppo...

Lovey Dovey

this post is gonna deal a lot with 戀愛, haha, don't blame me, it's just what's been going on lately. because there's quite a lot, i'll try to condense it as much as possible. i'm also just jotting these down for my sake, because they work as a good reminder for myself, so don't feel obligated to read it. ha. 1) the things one does for the other this is coming from watching a lot of friends and the study of Exodus. so in Friends, Ross pretty much does ANYTHING for Rachel, he skips his dinosaur thingy for her, he does this and that for her, he's always sacrificing his own things for her. But Rachel never realizes. of course, being a TV show, she does eventually find out the stuff he does for her and goes awww. but anyways, it's just that, the receiving end never really knows what's going on in the sacrificing end, and kind of just takes everything for granted because...well, you're getting your way. anyways, i saw this in the study of Exodus too...

God Is So Good!

"尋求耶和華的甚麼好處都不缺。" 詩篇34：10b "God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me!" Man, this song perfectly captures my thoughts. God is SO good to me!!! 祢太愛我了。My ticket to Israel and Egypt was bought yesterday, and i've been trying to get a ticket for the longest time, but time just never seemed to be good enough, and when i finally settled down on one, my program's itinerary was changed...i was like RAWR! So i sent the updated itinerary to my agent, and PTL! I'm on the exact flight as the group, except I'll be flying from Phoenix and back!!! I'm so thankful, God knew before that the group flight would be changed, so no ticket was prepared for me, but now everything works out! 哇，太奇妙了。NEXT, I've been researching netbooks because I don't wanna bring my apple abroad, and netbooks are just easier...and I researched before I told my mom I was gonna buy one, cause then it'd be easier to convince her. So I also prayed befor...
