• Wow....great weekend. I had so much fun, hehe. I'm using red this time. I haven't used red before, hahaha.

  
  

  Anyway, so Friday I went to Teddy and Ivo's church. It was fun. Got to hang out with everyone again before I get really busy and before everyone else goes back to school. Heard Camp Crossroads was awesome. I heard a few people got saved and gave their lives to the Lord. That's so awesome, Praise God!!! I heard the speaker was really good and that's just awesome. =) Afterwards, we went to Village Inn again, yay!! I was so hungry that night, lol. Then me and Mike went over to the twin's apartment again, hehe. We planned on playing mah-jong for the night and watch the Korean soap opera. We played Mah-Jong, but only like 6 rounds, haha. We were all so tired, it kind of sucked that we were tired, hehe. Teddy kept winning too. We think he was cheating. Except you really can't cheat at Mah-Jong, lol.

  
  

  So on Saturday, I went to my CARE group leader's "bbq". We didn't really bbq but we were at a park and everything. It was really awesome meeting some more people from my church. Heard some really awesome testimonies from people. Things that I've thought about and read about in the Bible and actually heard a testimony about it. I was like....WOW!!! Praise God!!! It was awesome. So exciting, hehe. Got tons of encouragement because it seems like everyone from my church knows who I am. Someone is talking about me. =P Nah...I'm pretty active and I've been up in front of the congregation a few times, hehehe. So everyone seems to know about me and they end up meeting me one way or another. Such a blessing, Praise God. After the picnic I went and picked Tom up from his apartment in Golden and then picked Spencer up in Littleton and met up with Mike, Tivo, Andrew, Connie and Thomas at Mike's restaurant. Gosh, Mike really blessed us when he let us eat for free as well as cooked for us. That was so awesome, Thanks a lot bro, you rock!! =) After dinner we went and saw Bourne Supremacy. It was really good. It's a good movie, hehe. Then we just all went home after that. Of course we talked in the parking lot for an hour or so before we went home, but yeah, hehe. Talking in the parking lot is like tradition now, hahaha. We always do it even when everyone's like, let's not do it, haha. Praise God.

  
  

  So Sunday Tom came to church with me. Wow, the message was just awesome. First time I've heard Rick Renner preach live. I've heard one of his messages but that was only on tape. It's really different in person, as usual, hehe. His wife Denise is such an amazing singer. She trained all her life to sing opera. She was offered a contract to sing professionally. God told her to give it up and preach the gospel. Such a humble, God fearing, God loving woman. She gave up everything she trained to do to preach the gospel. Wow, what encouragement. If she didn't preach the gospel, she'd be making TONS of money, but decided to give it up for God. And boy...does God honor that. Her voice is SOOO amazing. Such a small woman in size, but when she opens her mouth....she connects with heaven. It just blows people away. You are literally just speechless when she sings. WOW, HALLELUJAH!! Message was awesome.

  
  

  After church, Tom and I went to volleyball for a little while and then met up with friends to eat dinner at Yen King in Littleton. It was really good, Praise God. That wasn't the main reason I went there though. My friend Crystal asked me to go visit her while she worked and I said ok, I will. So I dragged everyone else along, haha. Thanks everyone for coming. It was a lot of fun. =) On top of dinner, it was Tian's birthday. Happy Birthday Tian. Finally 18, hahaha. Just kidding. Hope you had a good birthday. =) So I got to see Crystal at least one more time before she left for school. Such an awesome girl. Thank God for her, hehe. After dinner, some of us waited for Crystal to get off work. I promised her I would wait so I waited, hehe. When it was time for her to get off, she told us she had to work an extra 30 minutes, haha. Some people had to go home or take people home so they left. It ended up being just Mike and I waiting for Crystal, hehe. After she got off work for real this time, lol, the 3 of us went to the Barnes and Nobles down the street and got some Starbuck's coffee. After Xiao dropped Tom off at home, he joined us. =) It was a lot of fun just sitting and talking. So after coffee, Crystal left to meet up with some other friends for a movie that we weren't invited to, haha. It was a girl's night out so it's all good. Girl's need girl's night out just like guys need guys night out. Of course my reasoning is a lot different than what people think, haha. I think of it more as a fellowship time and as a time of sharing with each other that you normally wouldn't share with the opposite gender. Those times are really important too and they are just great. =)

  
  

  So Mike, Xiao and I talked a little longer...in the parking lot, haha. Told you..it's tradition, lol. Then Xiao went home cause he had to work today. Mike and I called up Julia and went to her place for a little bit. We ended up playing DDR for almost 2 hours, haha. I still had to go to work today, lol. It was a lot of fun though. I wouldn't have traded it for sleep, hehe. I had lots of fun with Mike and Julia. Praise God for friends like them. Love them so much. =) Thank You Jesus, hehe. Then we talked with Julia's mom a little bit and I kinda forced Mike and myself to leave, haha. I had to leave soon otherwise we might have stayed longer and I wouldn't have gotten any sleep at all, hahaha. It was a fun night. Praise God.

  
  

  So I went to bed at like 2 am and I had to wake up at 6 am for work, haha. I was sooo tired at work, lol. I kept leaving to go to the restroom to catch like 5 minutes of shut eye. There was no other way, haha. Couldn't exactly put my head down on my desk, lol. Finally lunch came around and I took a nice long nap in my car, haha. Work is going good. I'm learning more and getting the feel of things and how everything flows and works together. Praise God for that. I rememeber when I first started, I didn't know where to begin, what to do, I was so lost. The people who are over me are great people too. They are really patient with me when I go up and ask questions and they do a very good job of explaining things and answering my questions. I'm not saying I annoy them or anything, hehe. I learned a lot of things just by working on them myself. I would ask them questions just to make sure I was doing it right. I don't want to mess anything up. That's not good, hehe. My schedule is a really interesting one too, haha. I work in 2 different departments, I think that's so funny. So on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday mornings I work in vender document control. On Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays, and Fridays I'll be working in design document control, hehe. I think it's really interesting. I really can't take any glory though, it all goes to God. If it wasn't for Him, I wouldn't have a job and if it wasn't for Him, I wouldn't be able to work as fast I do and I wouldn't be able to learn my job as fast as I have. The people over me are always so surprised when I finish my work so fast. I'm just amazed and I have to thank God for that. Gosh...God is so awesome.

  
  

  God has been teaching me so much lately. It's just so awesome. He's always teaching me a lot, haha. So I can't really say that phrase anymore, lol. He's always teaching me and teaching me and teaching me. Every chance He gets, He'll grab my attention. I feel so bad because there are times where I don't spend time with Him even though I know I should and I want to, but my flesh is just too strong still. *sigh* Gotta fight it somehow. With the Word of God, that's how. I think. Well, I'm almost done reading the Bible. Two more days, hehe. Tonight and tomorrow, lol. After I'm done reading it all the way through, I'm going to really study it and dig in deeper. That'll be so much fun. =)

  
  

  Anyway, this has been yet another super long post. I get yelled at by my friends, hahaha. Love you guys, hahaha. I can't help it. I have a lot to say, that's all. =) Praise God. It's time for dinner and then I'm going to bed. I'm still really tired, lol. Praise God and Hallelujah. God is good, ALL the time and all the time, God is GOOD!!! Praise God Praise God Praise God Praise His Holy Name. Thank You Jesus, I worship You Lord and may my fear and love for you continue to grow in the Name of Jesus. Take care everyone. I love you all and God Bless you all abundantly.
