what a nice day today ...

i was thinking to my self today, "would i still blog if no one read my blog page?" ... i think i would. blogging is a good way of gathering my thoughts and recording my thought process

anyhoo (<--- i started saying that 'cuz of david lau) i found out my grandma is really cool today. even though she doesn't really know english, she likes watching football with our family. today she was even cheering when some dude evaded many tackles. it would've been a lot cooler if she weren't cheering for the eagles, though ... :-(

my auntie gave me eight rolls of life savers! WOOHOO!

I was warning our head sponsor, Steve, that our skit was going to be lousy 'cuz we had no idea what we were doing and 'cuz there were only three of us and we were all shy people. he told me that most actors are actually introverts! amazing! a shy guy like me can actually be an actor someday! :-D

Good day today.

At first I was kinda bummed that i wasn't at cal poly, but God really gave me a great day at h2o. I really learned a lot about evangelism and about "raising the flag". I learned how to casually tell people I'm a Christian without any commitment on their part and without sounding preachy. I had a good talk with our head sponsor, Steve, and with Kristen and Angela, too. The worship set today was especially good, too. Even the skit with my CT (consisting of me, angela, and joey) went surprisingly well despite not planning anything and ad libbing the whole way through. :-)

From my devotional:

"Unhappiness on earth cultivates a hunger for heaven. By gracing us with a deep dissatisfaction, God holds our attention. The only tragedy, then, is to be satisfied prematurely, to settle for earth. To be content in a strange land ... We are not happy here because we are not home here. We are not happy here because we are not supposed to be happy here ... And you will never be completely happy on earth simply because you were not made for earth. Oh, you will have your moments of joy. You will catch glimpses of light. You will know moments or even days of peace. but they simply do not compare with the happiness that lies ahead." -Max Lucado

ebay packages #2 and #3 came in today. hopefully #1 and #4 will come in tomorrow ... i'm going broke! :-)

went to school today to help mrs. ng w/ the regional science bowl practice sessions ... ah, science bowls. memories. i think college has made me dumber (i almost spelled it "dummer") 'cuz i didn't know the answers to most of the questions, and they weren't even using the regional questions! they were using ccs questions which are exponentially easier ... then marcus was trying to teach me all of this complex lighning math stuff and formulas how to get complex numbers ... oooh ... i don't feel very smart anymore ... not that i have in the past ... berkeley has really humbled me in that respect ...

going to cal poly in 01 days. i'm excited, but frightened. i'm not the greatest driver and i don't really know if i'll be able to handle the drive there, especially in the van. (*sigh*) ... prayer requested. :-) thanks. it will be exciting, though, renting a hotel room for the first time by myself ... oooh ... excitement. hope i don't get eaten.

/Though the road is long / I will still press on / Though my strength is gone / I will still press on / Just to hear my Father say / "You're home, my son / You have finished the race / Well done."

i was just reflecting on pastor steve's message yesterday. one thing really stuck out in my head. it wasn't anything i hadn't really heard of before, but it got me thinking nonetheless. he just said that spiritual maturity, or maturity in general, wasn't an emotion. it's a conscious decision to see things how God sees them. Spiritual maturity doesn't come from having a lot of Bible knowledge, or being able to discuss Biblical matters with much elogance. Spiritual maturity results from action - from giving legs to your faith. Spiritual maturity is knowing what the Bible says and doing it. something i need to work on.
