A parent's love is an amazing thing. And I just learned today (errr...last night) just how much love my parents have for me. If you've read yesterday's post, you'd realize that I had this thing w/ living on campus next year. My parents really wanted me to live at home due to the economy, finances, and just for them to spend more time with me. However, when asked by some Revelle Crusaders to room together next year...I was put into a predicament. So, after talking to my parents, I realized that my parents really wanted me to stay at home, yet at the same time really wanted me to enjoy myself...so they permitted my staying on campus next year. I'm literally blown away by their love. :) (Sometimes it makes me wonder how much God really loves me...cuz HIS LOVE pales in comparison to the love that any human can show, even the love of my parents.)
So, I tried to have a little escape after my discussions last night by going over to AACF...I think that AACF has sorta become my fellowship for solitude and just worshipping God. I mean, I love Crusade, but when I need an escape from studying, uncertainties of the future, I'm glad that I can go to another fellowship to just "chill" despite the "angry seas of life". But it was totally cool...I planned on leaving at around 9:30 upon the conclusion of announcements, but I guess I just stuck around and talked to people until almost everybody was gone. (I got back to my dorm at around 11ish) So that was just really fun...I'm glad that I took that little time off from studying for my math midterm (which I'm still putting off at this moment) from worrying about how everything will turn out and really just worship God. (I mean...the speaker talked about Worship in all that we do, how appropriate was that message?! :) )
Upon returning to my dorm, all my suitemates were talking about living arrangements for next year....apparently that's the topic at hand, and I guess I decided to just start on the worship set...that was fun transposing keys...I haven't done that in a while. Anyways, I should go study for math. So....in the words of Dr. Nick from the Simpsons, "Goodbye Everybody!" :)
Wow, so this last week....a lot has happened...I've gone from a student that would've lived at home next year, to a student that will most likely live on campus (provided that all the reg stuff works out okay) with some awesome people. Steve, Josh and Nino from Crusade...anyways...besides this big change of plans in my life (totally unexpected....but due to God's grace, it pulled through)
Okays....so, what else has been going on these days? Hmm...my mom's bday is coming up, and I sitll don't know what to get her, my chem midterm is on Monday (just failed my Math midterm on Wed...by fail i mean....doing not as good as I would've liked) ummm...what else...of course....there's the CBC College Retreat to Julian....so anybody who actually reads this, and knows what CBC is....please register...ASAP! Thanks!
Ummm...what else, well, the college group is leading worship for the FNF at CBC...only this time we have Dave as our worship leader. Im really looking forward to it! :) Hopefully all our hearts are in the right place...and we'll be able to lead everybody into a moment of worship tonight. People have continually said that "how the music is played doesn't really matter"...it's really where the heart is...While I totally support this statement, I also think that as worship leaders, there is a responsibility held that the team leads everybody into worship, and that sometimes can be distracted by wrong notes, out of tune singing or just the lack of unity within the group. So while the technicalities of music don't really matter, I'd say they're a little bit important too.
Okay, so I"ll be staying at UCSD this weekend, cuz well...I have a chem review session on Saturday, and I don't really think I can sit myself down at home and "study". There appear to be too many distractions at home as well as at school...but I guess one of them has to suffice.
Oh yea....Crusade's GAP (Girls Appreciation Night) is gonna be this Saturday (tomorrow) and from what I understand, more than 140 girls have registered to go...WOW! So many things going on, so little time to accomplish everything. This is where the entire issue of faith comes in. Do I really believe that God can prevail and have what's best in store for me prevail?
On a totally side note...Billy Graham is coming to San Diego during Mother's Day Weekend...Billy Graham? Who is this person you speak of? Well...he's probably the greatest evangelist of all time the world has ever seen. He's spoken to more than 250 MILLION people during his lifetime...so if you wanna hear this guy speak give me an IM! He'll be at Qualcomm and there's an expected crowd of 100,000 for the youth night (So ya...it'll be awesome!!!)
Allright, that's it for now....tired, but excited to see what the future brings. I guess it's time for me to wait for Dave...worship practice for tonight in a hour...need to get to CBC from UCSD in rush hour traffic....dude...that's gonna be tough. Until then....KEEP PRAYING EVERYBODY!!! Prayer is a way of life indeed! :)
