Hynah is at the airport now and I am slaving away in the school  Kinda unfair like that, when he gest to go on holiday while I am in in school.

I’m definitely gonna get withdrawl.  But maybe it is time for me to actually get my ass to work, and to do something.  Maybe even finish some work in between CSI and GA.   Quality.

I hope Hynah brings back lots of goodies! Ha ha.

Steam?

Maybe next time man.

Cheers,

Last year on October 10th, a beautiful delicate adorable gorgeous baby was born. Lillian Grace LaTour. She’s got such a great family, they love God with all their heart and they love what they’re doing. We always think and or tell our parents that we’re growing up and we’re not babies anymore. Maybe that’s what Lillian’s thinking. Who knows?

But I will always think of Lillian as a baby, I will always want to kiss her cheeks and tell everyone how cute and adorable she is.  She will grow up in a great enviornment, with great parents, and great aunts and uncles. Happy One Year old Birthday Lily!

Having this picture above as my phone background. Everytime I’m at school and feeling stressed or tired, I look at that picture and smile. It calms me, it makes me happy thinking about her.

Sometimes life sticks it at you, and you’re just not in the mood to do anything. You don’t want to listen to anything and you don’t care about anything. You find dumb excuses to explain why you’re in the mood you’re in. This is the time when you just need to relax and pray. Go out, take a walk in a quiet place. I don’t know what I’d do without Stanley, without Seafront.

It’s where I go when I’m happy. It’s where I go when I’m upset. Eitherway, it lifts me spirit and reminds me of the beautiful place I live in and the beautiful things I’m surrounded by.

Enjoy!

Sometimes things just keep coming back to me and no matter what I do, somehow I’m reminded of you. Maybe it’s God’s plan. The big reminder of you yesterday was unexpected, definetly thought about it all day. It’s not even ten but I’m exhausted. I’m too tired to know what I’m writing. But I wanted to update.

I miss you.

How does it feel to be rejected? You feel rejected. That was the answer I gave. During encounter, Tim mentioned how the feeling of rejection is horrible and especially at church, we should always try to like someone, and not to leave anyone out. I can say that I do that quite alot, especially people who annoy me alot. Even though I might be at church, it doesn’t change my perspective of that person and that’s not right. We should always accept someone for who they are and what they believe in.

Worship today was great. From the beginning of the first song, I felt like singing and praising God at the top of my lungs. I sang loud during worship. I don’t care if my voice cracked. I don’t care if the people around me was annoyed. I don’t care if I sing bad. All it matters is that I was connecting and worshiping God. I felt like just being with Him, running into his arms and never leaving. Not caring about anything that’s going on in life and just be surrounded with your love. It felt like DCLA again. We sang one of David Crowder Band’s song and I was happy. I was “this” close to jumping up and down and running around. I love that feeling. I absolutly adore it.

God is amazing, and very un-expectable. He does things that makes my jaw drop and just love him even more! I pray that God will continue to work in his life, to draw him closer to God. It will take time but I am so happy that he took the initiative to talk to someone about it. It’s when i have almost given up hope that God brings it back into my life and shows me the reason i should not give up. He has answered my prayer and continued to guide me through this. I am so excited, you have no idea.

Ashley is leaving tomorrow to Sydney. I don’t have the chance to talk to her very often but we have fun when we talk. Happy belated birthday to her. I pray that she has a safe trip and will have loads of fun there and learn lots (hopefully). I will miss her around church but she will be back in eight weeks.

Even though there were quite a few annoyances today, God lifted that out of my head and allowed me to worship him without thinking about many things. It’s been good. I pray for a good weekend for all ya’ll!

Cheers, Jo.

“when we get bored out we feel like hell” That’s what one of my friends said to me tonight. It reminded me of something that’s very important to us. How many times are we bored out of our minds at home, but we don’t do anything about it except complain about how bored we are? How many times do we think about spending time with God but instead we say .. oh no, I have too much homework, I’ll do it another time ..? I’m sure I have more than I can count with both my fingers and my feet.

I can say, I do it all the time. Not necessarily because I was busy with homework, but just because i’m too lazy to, or i’m watching a tv show that I think is very important. When we don’t have anything to do and we’re just sitting at home, that is the best time to find somewhere quiet, without music, without any distractions, and spend time with God. Pray, read the bible and just have your quiet time.

Sometimes you have disappointments in order to have surprises that make you smile. It might not mean a lot to you, but to me, getting an real email from anyone telling me about their life and what’s going on makes me happy. And today, you sent me one. I felt better from basketball and when I came home, I took a glanced at my gmail, saw your name and had a big grin on my face. The email was nothing special but it was good to hear from you.

Two days. Hang in there folks.

Cheers, Jo.
