Good Bye 2006

What an amazing year this was.  a lot has changed. hahaha.

I just want to take this time now to remember some of the great moments of this year! (in no particular order of course)

 

1. Camp!  Super super super best 4 days ever in each year! hahaha.  I met Najee there! I met Ian E there! I met Ams...ok, not really met, but really talked to for the first time.  :D  Also got close with Justin Jamon, Jeff, Jason, and the whole group. hahaha.  guys, sana we wont repeat what happened to me this year right?  or maybe this time it will end well. Heeheehee.

2. Youth LIVE Website!  Forums!  self explanitory.  It rocks!

3. I joined the worship team!  It was a hard 3 days of training, but i learned so much.  It was bitin pa.  :(  Sean ROCKS SO FRIGGIN HARD!  Wish he could continue teaching me.  I got to play in the first (of only 2 ever) live feed services. =D  It was soooooooooooo cool to serve God by leading people to worship him.  It's one of the best feelings to be playing up there and see that the people worshipping are closing their eyes....you know they are not looking at you, but singing for God. Looking forward to playing again some time in 2007

4. Became the Missions Team Head! Although it was sudden, and really stressful, its so cool that God put me in this possition.  Just before it happened, i was telling God i wanted to play a bigger role in my ministries.  Especially the missions team.  Cuz i felt like i wasn't needed there, like in cribs and stuff, cuz i could hardly help out.  I told God, "why did you bring me to this team? Please show me why."  And then this happened.  i was really freaked by the whole idea that kuya brian was leaving us.  so i set out to find us a new leader...  Then..... oh boy... God has a sence of humor talaga.  Pao Manzano pulled me aside to talk to me.  At first i thought it was about something else ;) ;)  but it wasn't. Thank God it wasn't!  He told me he thinks i can step up and take this possition.  He told me also, not to pray about it too long, as in don't use prayer as a way to delay it cuz i'm scared.  And i already knew that's where God wanted me and that was the answer to my prayer.  Soooooooo, here i am.

5.  Inside Out.  Another amazing event.  God really taught me not to trust myself and only to trust Him.  He also showed me the importance of trusting your team to get the job done.  At one point, i really tried to do everything myself, purposely giving few assignments to the others, and i almsot burned out.  I really want to just drop it all and forget about it.  But, when you have no where else to go, and you just give everything to God, He will take care of it.  man, i miss P. Ro already.

6. I met my sister Nix! =D  I first noticed her cuz the first time i sat in at Grow kids, she was wearing a youth LIVE shirt :))

7. Met Ben after camp. :D

8. got mistaken as being part of the choir countless times! wahahaha..  And part of mamalujo!

9. EK with the fellowship team! I rode the space shuttle as my first rollercoaster!  i even rode it twice.  Played paintball for the first time there too.  I Shot justin! hahaha.  Maow shot me in the face.

10. Watched WWE Raw live in manila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Cena and Edge Rocked My Sox!!!  I also saw the smackdown superstars in galle.  Saw Lashley face to face! and King Booker!!!!!!  wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!

wow, that's already 10 great moments.  You know what?  I'm sure there are so many more i just can't think of now.  2007 is an empty page just waiting to filled with fun memories.  And you can watch it all unfold right here on multiply! (hahaha, advertisment!)

Praise God for everything He's done. He derserves it all.  \m/

12. Youth Sundays!!!!!!! All of them. The one with the maskara skit and the last one.  hahaha.  I love performing on stage because i get to be bad to people! hahahahaha.  First i was a sin, then i was a guest at a party/person in a church who disliked najee, then i was a bum who jason king li tried to witness to but me and luigi seriously gave him the worst time in the world!  Oh yeah...
