| it has been almost 3 weeks into summer vacation and i have done............nothing productive. HOWEVER, i have been hanging out with my long-time church friends (hashi, mike s., jon, april, and stephanie).
it has been SOOO MUCH FUN. the most important reason being that the girls have been getting (earning) FREE EVERYTHING. ahahaha.
we love to play pounce (it's a card game that involves speed and yeah. hah.). we have played almost everyday. we also play for something, EVERYTIME (such as boba, lunch, PINKBERRY, yogurtland, popcorn chicken, etc..). the girls have not had to open their wallets for the past week. it's actually quite nice! AND last night...we played for HIGH STAKES... PASTA POMODORO. the guys decided that they wanted to play shorter games...since they always do well in the "beginning". however, last night they were proved wrong. the girls are just THAT good. hah. steph, april, and i EARNED ourselves free meals to pomodoro. how EXCITING! ahahah. everytime i think about it, i get all giddy and i can't stop laughing..i guess you would say that it's gloating...and it's horrible (for the guys), but i can't help it! free meals? free drinks? free PINKBERRY?!?!? it just doesn't get any better..~sigh. life is great at the moment. it gets better too, because once lyndsey asami is done with school we will for sure beat the boys in the "BIG game". she is the KING, not queen, KING of pounce. a smile just appears on my face when i think about it...4-on-4....guys vs. girls...oh, the anticipation. winner: gets a 3-course dinner COOKED by the losing team. i wonder what the guys are planning on cooking...haha. aside from all of the play...these same individuals created a small group, MJCAM (mission: just create a movement OR mike jon christine april mike. haah). our small group is basically founded on the idea of being more active in our faith. we all came with goals (short-term, long-term, and the far-fetched). we all decided that we want to go to swaziland for a mission's trip. how awesome would that be, to serve God, side-by-side with close friends? i am overly filled with excitement. i guess i lied. i have been a little more productive that i thought.....that being in my faith. i have grown closer to God in the past couple of weeks than i have this semester...i don't really know how it all works...but i guess that's just what it is. we don't HAVE to know anything..you don't NEED a logical answer to every question or inexplainable situation. just take it as is, knowing that it was SUPPOSED to happen. mt. hermon is coming up SOOOO soon..less than 2 weeks..this is my first time on core, and i'm NERVOUS..please keep me and all of the mt. hermon camps (leaders, conferees, speakers, etc.) in your prayers..pray for a revolution within conferees' hearts, steady and firmly-standing leaders. for some reason, i feel like the wind is going to blow in a different direction this year.. thought: it only takes one or several brave individuals to stir the nation's heart, but where do you start? |
