Would you like to be young again? Sometimes it’s okay to reminise and want to be young again but I think thats the beauty of life. It brings you through many stages of life and we’ve got to enjoy it. I love where I am. And I love what I can do.

Our chem class went to lower primary today for about 45 minutes to do experiments with the first graders. Not On them, although it is tempting. Hynah. I was prepared and excited before heading over. But I definetly under estimated the fun. Walking into the clusters reminded of the summer, when I was the teacher assistant for R1 and R2 day camp. The teachers were talking to them whilst we prepared and got ready. Once that was done, we were each assigned two first graders.

The teacher have told us that Saejin and Sophia were the quiet ones. I was pleased but I didn’t want them to be totally quiet and un responsive. They were perfect. They walked over and immediatly gave me a high five. They were smart kids and very observative which was good because it made our job alot easier. They were curious. They listened to you. They asked you questions. They both always had a smile on their face. I love the way they look at you with a big grin on their face, it is simply beautiful. It is not a fake smile, which many of us deal with. They were paying their full attention to you. They are honest, you can tell if they’re upset, you can tell if they’re bored, and the best, you can tell when they’re truly having fun. And this is what I saw.

I wouldn’t want to do this everyday because I know my patience has a limit and I don’t want to face to horrors of them everyday. But times like today, I felt like I have forgotten everything in those 45 minutes time I spent with them. I have given my world to them, and it’s beautiful how they have given me the best feeling.

How amazing is God’s creation.

Cheers!

Sometimes you’ve got to let yourself be changed. That’s something I learned. Well.. and having patience. Someone will know about that. It’s been an interesting night, but fun. At times, we are so caught up in our world, that we don’t look at things around us. We don’t let ourselves be changed. It’s so important for us to let God mold us. change us. Into who He wants us to be. Because he knows what’s best for us.

Surroundering to God. How? There’s not going to be a full answer to that question. But first is to lift up all your problems to God. It’s a decision that you will make, deciding that you will give yourself up to him. You won’t be changed in a seconds time, but if you be patience. Psalm 37 says “Delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” It will take time. But have faith and you will be changed.

Tomorrow is friday. So great. Really. Today was a normal school day but we have two new students in our grade, their first day was today. I got a chance to meet both of them and it was really good to talk to them and get to know them. Weeks gone by pretty slowly, but it’s been a good week afterall. Many people who I don’t usually talk to have called me or texted me to talk at random times and it’s such a nice feeling. It was good to hang out with my best friend today. Even though It was spazzing and complaining and me laughing at her. I still had alot of fun and I love it when we have the time to talk about things. Especially about God. It makes me so happy being able to share thoughts together.

It’s almost 1 in the morning. But It was all worth it and I’m smiling.

Cheers!

Two more days till the weekend. It will be good. I’m so excited to see and hang out with the people I’m meeting with. And the things I’m doing. Friday will be a good encounter. Hynah is playing and I am happy to be able to hang out with him again.. Saturday is a pretty packed day, and of course how can I not be excited for Church on Sunday? I can’t wait. Hang in there guys, we’re almost there.

Sometimes life hits you in the head. For the past few days, I haven’t been talking to one of my friends due to various reasons. Hearing from someone that he’s not doing well hits me hard. I’ve thought that he’s doing good. He looks happy around. The reasons are stupid.. or maybe I just don’t care anymore. But I know deep down, I care alot about him. Sunday we talked about friendship. Fish Kelly talked about being disciples of Christ. And yet I’m still the way I am. Being an ambassador, and being the social person I am, I don’t understand.. It’s hard to communicate, It’s hard to get through to you. But I know with time and Christ in me, I will gain the trust and will be easier.

Any Prayer Requests?

Cheers!

Have you ever thought about that? Probably not.. because I haven’t either. Why would anyone go around thinking to themselves why they’re on earth? But it is an important question. During FISH, Kelly spoke to us about this question. It was a really simple and short sermon but strong.

19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Matthew 28:19

This is what God said to us before he died. The most important thing he wants us to know. Imagine yourself being on your death bed, what would you want to say to the world? What do you want to say to your love ones? This is what God said to us, and therefore we must go and spread the gospel. Share God’s love with others.

It’s not an easy task. Many of us spent a couple of days learning how to share our faith in DCLA, a christian youth conference held every three years in washington d.c. Trying to share you faith and God’s love is hard, there are going to be arguments between friends and disagreements. Share it gently, it will take time but God is working in you. Although it’s hard …

 33“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:3

You are no where near overcoming the world, but that doesn’t matter because God is in us, and he has overcomed the world. Whatever troubles you have, He is there- right in your heart. When we were singing the response song – Lord, Reign in me. One of the lines stuck out at me.

Over every thought, over every word
May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord
Cause You mean more to me than any earthly thing
So won’t You reign in me again

It’s not an easy thing to do because we are filled with sin. But God died for us on the cross. He went to hell for three days. None of us want to go to hell, that’s for sure. So think how amazing that is. That he went to hell for us, for all our sins. I pray that  as the song mentions.. over every thought, over every word, May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord. You don’t have to say in their face that they should believe in God because He great. Just by the way you interact with others, by your actions.. it’s enough for others to know that the Lord is in you.

The first FISH wasn’t the best, personally. But this one was amazing. And I felt God working through Kelly and to let many of us know this important message. I thank God for that, I thank God for everything. And I pray everyone have a good week. Now go and be disciples of Christ. And everyone say……….. Amen.

Cheers!
