baby_webhead

A few people have asled me before why my name is baby_webhead.  I thought most people would get it, but i was wrong.

Well, one of spiderman's nick names is "webhead".  He has a few others such as "wall crawler" and "web slinger"  but i liked "webhead" the best. 

So like a few years back, there was this comic that came out called mini marvels.  It showed all the superheroes as kids.  i really liked spiderman in it. So that's where the "baby" part comes from.

so put em together and you get baby_webhead.  that's it!

Here's a picture of what the comic looked like. http://www.vzoom.com/manage/cartoon/smallpic/200412192111285195.jpghttp://www.vzoom.com/manage/cartoon/smallpic/200412192111285195.jpg

Sunday thoughts

You know, it's amazing how just a few minutes of hearing God's word can put your life in perspective.  I was feeling really crappy today, right before vesper.  For one thing, i was still sick, and another thing... well... things didn't really go my way.  FOr one, i had to go to an open house meeting instead of to the mall with maow and ben.  Then, at grow kids, i helped teach the lesson, but my teaching really sucked.  I barely used the Bible passage ben started with, and i hardly backed it up with anything from the Bible.  I know what i taught wasn't worng, but i could feel that the holy spirit wasn't with me.  i almost made Nix cry with one example i did, and i felt really bad about it.  Sorry Nix. Didn't mean to scare you.

I also kinda over exaggerated a slightly angry feeling i had right before vesper.  It was half a joke, but half wasn't.  This whole day i really let my human nature get the better of me.

And to think that two night befores, at AG, i was so blessed by everything i heard.  How God was moving in the lives of the people who went to camp and how their fire was burning for Him.  Sometimes I just let things slip away so fast.  I totally forgot about all that happend that night.  I was still serious about what i said at AG, but it just wasn't as great as i made it seem.  It just happened like once.

This whole week, I really thought i was close to God, but deep down in my heart i knew that i wasn't anymore.  I see now that is why God put my ministries on hold.  I'm not gonna be able to play in the band this week, and i haven't been able to go to cribs in months.  It's not right to be doing ministry when your heart is not on God.  God also showed me that He is the only thing constant in my life.  Friends aren't always there, and GOd should be my number 1 priiority, not them.

The message tongiht wasn't amazing, but it still really spoke to me.  From the moment i heard "ANd Jesus called Matthew", I knew God was telling me something.  He's still calling me.  He took a tax collector, one of the worst people, and used him.  I know that God is calling me to turn back to Him.  To be honest, it's the first time a message has meant something to me in months. 

This week, i'm gonna make it a serious goal to do my QT everyday.  Not just read the Bible, but pray, meditate, and grow.  I want to know God again, and love him more than anything.  If you guys wanna text me during the week to make sure i'm doing my QT, please do.  It would help me be accountable. :D  I just thanks GOd sooooooooo much that he always takes me back and forgives me, even though i don;t deserve it.

Sunday

Well actually, the night before, i felt really sick already.  I was coughing and was like feeling really bad.  I had a bit of a fever too.  The whole night i kept waking up.  Like twice an hour starting at 3am i kept waking up.  And you know that feeling when you are sick but you don't want to be lying down cause... i dunno, it just doesn't feel right?  Anyway, that's what i felt.

In the morning, I was deciding if i would even go to church or not.  But eventually, i just couldn't say no.  Right before the 8:30 ygroup started, i texted my dad to tell me when the message in the main service was almost over.  i had to go and watch angel give her testimomy.  So anyway, the ygroup was fun.  Toward the end of the the lesson, my dad texted me and said that he would go down after angel's testimony was done.  So i was like, "ok, i guess she's coming on now." 

So then i left the ygroup.  While i was waiting for the elevator, jamie saw me.  So i told her why i was going down.  While we were talking, the elevator came up and it was full.  So we started to take the stairs.  As we were going down, so many people were going up.  I don't know where they were going, but i was wondering if maybe the service was over.  When i got down, sure enough, it was over.  Jamie looked at me and said, "hala matt.  You're dead!"  I was also like, "crap! I missed angel!"

So then i went down and i saw angel and saki.  I went to angel and i told her what happened and i really felt bad about it.  She was kinda mad, but she forgave me by the end of the day. hehe.  Sorry Angel!!!

During the 11am ygroup, i really started to feel sick again.  i was coughing really badly and i felt like a was gonna throw up.  Which is not a good sign.  So i really couldn't concentrate on the lesson.  Candice made these envelope happy birthday card thingys for Ate Rhods and Aylene, and we were all secretly signing them during the class.  THe problem was, they were all glittery.   So everyone is the class was covered in it! :D

Me and maow had lunch with ben.  There were soooooooo many people in the mall that day cause there was a sale.  We had sucha  hard time finding a place to sit.  But finally we did.  I felt really sick again too.  Like everything on my body hurt. We walked around and played in Tom's World a lot.  I caught myself a stitch doll.  :D

So then we walked back to the YC with dave (who we met in tom's world) and ben went home. We met angel there too.  Then jasper showed up! yey! hahaha.  He taught me a little keyboards and we played some songs and stuff (me on the guitar and jasper on the keys).  Maow played guitar too and dave drummed a bit. 

Vesper ygroups was fun, but again, didn't feel well so i couldn't really focus on the lesson.  After, Najee brought down something that belonged to the room by accident.  So we were gonna go up with her to return it.  Then she said, "let's take the stairs! Excersice!"  So i tried to.  I made it like 3 floors up and that was it.  I like was coughing and stuff.  So i took the elevator from the 3rd to the 5th.  hahaha.

So vesper was fun.  The P&W was really good.  They did this cool part where "home" became "look to You".  That was cool! haha.

This morning, I woke up and my my muscles hurt so badly when i cough.  It feels like i excersiced the whole day yesterday!  Is it possible to build abs through coughing? hahaha. jk!  Please pray for me guys. Thanks! 

Weekend...what a weekend

I had a pretty good weekend.  :)  I worked pretty hard all week to learn the songs i was going to play.  I was late to the practice on friday so i missed the AG.  But that's ok.  I was doing something important.

I had dinner with my family cause my oldest brother went back to the states.  It's sad, but i'm trying not to think about it that much.  I'll really miss my nephew. :(

So the practice on friday went well.  I learned a lot from sean.  He helped me learn His Love cause i was playing some parts wrong.  We weren't able to finish the line up though.  So we scheduled practice before satjam. 

Now on saturday, i went for practice.  We took a while to set up, and by the time we started practicing, more then half the satjam people were there!  But it was ok.  The practice went alright, but i really had a hard time hearing myself.  That, and i kept messing uo the chords.  it was pretty frusterating.  So anyway, satjam started and we had some fun games.  Not everything they said about the boys were true. I think everything about the girls was right, cause they never objected.  hahaha.  So then it was time for P&W.  We went up and started to play.  I don;t really remember it that much cause i blocked it from my memory.  It was pretty bad, as in a kept messing up.  THEN, in the middle of one of the songs, i broke a string!  oh man!  I kind freaked out, but i kept playing.  Then Chico broke a string too!  He stopped playing, and i continued.  Then, I noticed that i was out of tune!  So i had to stop playing too!  SO it was just drums, bass, and keyboard.  I was really bummed out, but i just remembered what sean said during our training.  He said that it's our job to lead these people into worship, and we should not be distractions.  So i just calmly stopped playing and worshipped God.  I was still really bummed out the whole night.  Didn't enjoy satjam after that. 

But then we practiced the sunday line-up.  It went soooooo well and i was able to practice even if i was missing a string.  One thing i'm happy about is that we didn't play "holy holy holy" anymore.  Hahaha. I never really learned the chords to that song. 

Saturday night, i couldn't really sleep.  I slept at like past 1am.  Woke up at 6 and had to rush to get ready.  Call time was 6:30

Sunday, today, was super busy.  Like we had to practice in the morning, play the P&W, and then they made us be the time filler for when we were waiting for the adult service to move on.  Abi would run and  tell us we had to play something to buy time. so we would talk about it while walking to the instruments (that's likw 15 seconds of planning) and then play!  hahaha.  We only had to tdo that at the 8:30 though.  So we played at the 11.  I remember being kinda nervous when i went up, but then someone in the crowd a knew smiled at me, and i relaxed a bit.  That happened at vesper too. :D  So the 11 went ok. then i slept a bit.  We had our open house meeting from 3-5, practiced again, then played for vesper.  We finally got everything right at vesper.  All the sound tech was good, i didn't forget too many chords, and we could all hear ourselves playing!  It was like a super filled day.  I wasn't able to talk to people i really wanted to talk to, but it's ok.  Serving God is more important!  That's what i kept telling myself.  And it's true.  But yeah, i would have liked to talk to them. 

So i don;t really know what to feel right now.  I don;t know if i should be happy cause i played well, and i always wanted to play for sooooooooooo long now, or feel a sad cause my bro left, i didn't get to talk to some of my friends, and i had a pretty crappy saturday.  You have to understand that for me, i only see my friends on the weekends.  Other then that, ym is all i get.  maaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnn.  I'm looking forward to ygroups next week.  It'll be simple and fun!  But i still can't wait for the next time i'm gonna play.

So now i'm here, blogging.  And tomorrow is monday and i have to do school again. grrrrrrrrrr. i don;t wanna! hahahaha. But i really thank God for the oppertunity i got to serve Him today.  so i guess it was an ok weekend after all.
