The last youth sunday

Yesterday, november 26, was our last youth sunday.  It's really sad that it's over now, but youth sundays have provided a lot of great memories. :)


On my first youth sunday, the one with the skit where P. Ro and the quest guys got together in a dream, that's when i became friends with dave.  We were both backstage people.  We had to keep running mics back and forth! HAhahaha. Then there was the one about the 7 sins.  That was really fun because i was on stage that time.  :)  Not to mention that our team was great too!


But anyway, back to this time.  When we opened in prayer that day, P. Ro said something. He said that he felt like we just had another retreat.  And the more i thought about it, that's what it felt like. There were like 30 of, practicing together on thursday, firday, saturday, and now it was sunday.  We all knew why we were doing this.  This was for God.  And it was a hard, but amazing 4 days.


I was really really tired the whole day (espeically during service team's shoot)  because i hadn't really slept well the whole week. Always got home like around 11, and slept at like 12:30ish and had to be out of the house at 8 the next day.  Cuz to make it to the practices, me and my bros had to ride with our parents to the office/college in the mornings.  Also, i had no voice!  It was really funny when i was trying to sell tickets with no voice.  I would just try to say as little as i could.  But i got a few people to go check out the booth! yey!  That day, I also learned that i am a good guesser! (right angel?) heehee....grrrr....oh man....


THe skit was good.  Me, dave, and tims, already had our own script for the party scene while the dancers were up there! it went something like this.


Me: Great party!


Tims: YOu know how much i paid for these sancers?  1000 denaury (spelling?) each!


Dave and me: Woah!


Tims: Yeah, and i'm inviting them back tomorrow! Hey, it's my son's birthday coming up! He's gonn be 200!


Me: Really? That's still young!


Tims: Hey, Isn't that Jesus beside you?


Me: Yeah.


Tims: Touch his cloak!


ME: *touches it


Dave and TIms: Woah!


Me: *Touches them


Dave and Tims: Oh my! I'm healed!


SOmething like that! hahaha.  Najee was awesome too.  She acts really well.


The whole day, i also kept joking dave that my "man dress" would fall off on stage! and at the vester it ALMOST did! hahaha.  Good thing it was ALMOST! 


I guess the day i enjoyed best was saturday.  There was something that had been bothering me for a while, but i was finally able to straighten it out then. :)  It felt good to be able not think about it anymore and know that it was all ok.  It was also PH's brithday!  he had a great party, and he even cried during the song.  awwwww.  Good job planning Tims and Angel!  Then, that night we got to play scum! hahahaha.  some people almost died in that game! hahahahaha.  Then we went to 7-11 with angel and arrow, and we tried to get angel drunk on sprite! One can isn't enough however. maybe 2 will do it? hehehe. 


There's just so much to think about now that it's all over.  it was just great. :) Praise God no ones costumes fell off on stage ;)


I'll upload the pics on tuesday or wednesday! I want full size and i'll only get use fast internet then.  so... i guess that's it. (sorry my thoughts are all jumbled on this entry) TC everyone! Come to links this saturday!

0/3 so far :(

Today startd out ok.  I went with my parents to the Messiah thingy and took pictures.  It was fun being a photographer. :)


At 12:30, i left to go to galle. I had to walk maow there cause he had to go to choir.  For me, i went to GCF to see all the leaders who were going on their retreat.  I went there cuz i wanted to see angel before they left, but when i got there, they were all in the bus already.  She saw me and waced, but that's all i got.  I was supposed to go with them, but there were 3 things that made me not go.  i'll get to those in a bit.


So i went back to galle to kill time till 2:30.  I was supposed to meet najee for lunch with her mom, but she couldn't make lunch.  But we were still gonna meet at 2:30.  So anyway, i killed time by walking around till 2:30, then i was waiting for her to text me where we would meet...... NO text.  So i waited....No text.  so then i texted Ams to tell me when she would be at the youth center cause i had to meet her for a missions team meeting at 3:30.


So then, i sat in the food court till about 3.  Naj never texted.  So i was thinking to myself that there was no time left to do anything with her if she didn;t come soon.  So i waited and waited.  I literally walked in circles around galle till 3:30.  Then that was it.  There was no waiting anymore.  I had to go meet ams.


I was pretty bummed cause one of the reasons i stayed was to meet with najee.  I was supposed to join her and her mom one time, but i couldn't so this was supposed to be me making up for it.  But.....It's didn't happen.


Then while i was walking to gcf, i get a call.  And it's najee saying that she left her cellphone at home so she wasn;t getting my texts and she was sorry she couldn;t make it.  But she was still coming to the missions team meeting anyway. 


So i go t to GCF and as usual, the Youth Center was locked.  So i had to go down and tell them to open it.  It took em like 15 minutes, but they got it open eventually.


The second reason i didn;t go was cuz of this meeting. We really needed to plan something.  But for some reason i couldn't get my head in the meeting.  And jam didn't seem to like my ideas.  And i dunno.  It wasn;t that good.  I really felt like a bad leader for not being able to handle that simple meeting.


Najee told me she was really sorry about what happend.  I knew she already felt bad so i just told her it was ok.  It really wasn't so bad, it was just.....disappointing.  Oooooh, and najee, if you're reading this, it's ok.  Really. Things like that happen. :) I forgive you k? :D


Once everyone left, i just waited in the YC for my parents.  I finished up the stuff we didn't do at the meeting... It was sad for me cuz i was doing it by myself... But it was ok.  i know not everything is supposed to be fun.  it also made me feel bad cuz Ams ditched her friends to come to that meeting, and thats the kind of meeting it turned out to be.


Then, when my parents finally got me, did they ask how my day was? no. They just talked about their day.... I didn't want to bring up my day anyway. :|


So yeah.  1 reason i skipped the retreat didn't push through, and the other one didn't go well.  i kept thinking about "what if i just went."  but you know what? i'll get over it.


The last and final reason i didn;t go to the retreat was cuz maow and i are watching cyber sunday tomorrow.  It's a WWE thing and sunday is the last showing.  I don;t wanna risk being late for it cause we talked about watching this for a long time.  We've missed a lot of the PPVs already cuz i always had something.  So this one should be good!


So even though my day wasn't good, i know that God made me have it for a reason.  I dunno what it is, but God uses everything. 


ANGEL! Tell me all about it k?  :D
