today my life begins

A brief run through on what happened throughout the past few days:

8/20/11: What a weird/crazy/amazing night:) Sleepover with grace and sharon! and kind of with esti HAHAHHA.
8/21/11: I actually skipped small group (not on purpose! i lost track of time :(..) and went out to Dunkin Donuts with Isaiah and Jun! It was the first time that I saw Isaiah since like.. December, and it was pretty fun :). We just caught up for an hour and exchanged cell phone charms. I felt really terrible when I returned to church though, because apparently loads of people noticed that I suddenly disappeared during small group time (I was at church before it started) and were asking where I was. I felt especially sorry towards Sarah teacher, but I apologized to her later on! Anyways, after service, I said goodbye to the Ecclesia bound kids, then Sharon and I went to eat suhlungtang with my parents and some other people. They went to Paris Baguette after, so I shared a patbingsoo with Sharon and she ended up coming over to my house. The funny thing is, we both knocked out on my bed for a good 30 minutes cause we were so tired from the night before. Hahahah we're cute! 8)
8/22/11: Went to work. Told my kid's parents that I was going to quit -i did it on really short notice cause I was too scared to call them- and I felt pretty bad about that too but it was okay. Having a job this summer taught me so much, and although it was kind of a pain in the butt sometimes, I don't regret one second of it, and I was at peace knowing that I was able to give my parents $800 and still have some money leftover for me to spend. Working isn't easy, but you reap what you sow! Anyways, I'm going to miss Kevin and Eugene a lot :(. I grew really attached to them during this summer, and although I won't see them after this/next week, I'm going to make sure to continue keeping the little monsters in my prayers.

Yesterday, I went up to visit Ecclesia with Andrew, Sharon, Danica, and Justin. The ride up there was relatively short, although we had some trouble meeting up cause THERE WAS A FREAKING EARTHQUAKE IN VIRGINIA THAT WAS FELT IN NEW YORK hahah but it all worked out in the end. We got to Ecclesia around dinner time, and as soon as I stepped into Mount Alvernia, I was overwhelmed with the sweet, sweet, nostalgia that fills me everytime I go up there for Ecclesia. Honestly, things were kind of different because I was a visitor, and it was kind of weird to just spectate and not be in the midst of all the action and work. However, I realized a little later though that it was in God's will to bring me to E11 as simply a visitor, and that my sole job during my two days was to simply pray for the candidates. I was so blessed through all that went on, and I absolutely cannot wait to serve at the next Ecclesia!!
