Hey,
VBC's over and maybe it hasn't hit me yet and maybe it has but it's saddening. The last 2 days were pretty amazing. I should probably talk about the zoo because I don't recall having the opportunity to write about that.
So on thursday we went to the zoo and I didn't really know what to expect. At first I was really excited and this was like before the camp started and halfway through the camp I was still excited. I guess I was always excited about it but I was also scared that my kids would run away but overall it was an amazing day. Also, they said that it would have a thunderstorm that day and we prayed the day before that it wouldn't thunderstorm and it didn't. It was actually one of the hottest days ever =P Which was kind of crazy. And the kids loved it except we didn't get to see all the African animals. And Frieda was really good.
So overall it was a really great day. Except...I say this with I guess some kind of shame/regret that I was kind of distracted. Dumb eh?
But anyways, altogether it was a great day. And God was really blessing us with the kids and the weather.
The night before was our second ever K-cab meeting. And I guess the main thing that happened that night was the fact that we got our cell group leader pairings. Mine were B Wong and Nat Tay and I'm actually really excited about that. I know Nat doesn't think she can commit very well but it's nice knowing that she's in my cell group and well I"m really excited for just K-cab in general next year because it looks like it's going to be one heck of an exciting year =) Unexpected and full of surprises but awesome. And getting to know Brian and work with him seems...well just like a really great experience. Haha i seem to be using awesome, great, amazing and synonyms of those a lot. Not very descriptive =P
So proceeding onto Thursday night, I went to Destiny's for Pei Ying's goodbye party. It was the first time I've ever been to Destiny's and probably the only time I'll go in a long time. I don't know, i felt kind of antisocial in that place. I sat in the middle of the very long table and across me was Ben who I was pretty used to but like...of all the people there, I was probably the least apt at socializing. Like on my left were a bunch of girls who kind of knew each other and they seemed well...pretty into their conversation of sorts and then on the other side were like another group and so I guess...well I never really feel all to secure when I go out. I just don't do well in those situations. So I guess I felt awkward. And then I did like the dumbest thing and I spilled red bean milk tea over Cherry. And I tried to apologize and then she went into the washroom and I went outside. Later on I found out...well she didn't seem mad and I was just being dumb. And so on this walk outside I guess I was just trying to figure myself out. It was nice outside. There'd been a tornado storm earlier and a rainbow but as the sun was almost done setting there was a nice highlight against the darkening sky and out there I guess I prayed a little and maybe calmed down. I felt bad when some of them came out looking for me. But anyways, I guess when you look at it in the scheme of things, it doesn't matter all too much if I had super funs or wahtevs because that wasn't the point of the night. The point of the night was for PY and just giving her a good night before she left to Brazil. And I think she had that.
Haha it's funny how there's one more day that I have to I guess...talk about. I feel like I"m rambling and I"m not quite sure who I'm even talking to nowadays but I'm just...writing I guess. To whoever. Maybe myself ,in the future, a couple years ahead when some things have changed. No clue.
So yesterday was the last day of VBC and I guess I hadn't really thought it fully through. It was the last day with these kids. And when I think about it, it's not REALLY the last time i'll see them because i think about half my kids go to church but still, it was weird. Sabrina had left and Val was her replacement...well technically my replacement because i guess I got bumped up to crew leader but it was usually just me and 5 of the kids because Val was with Frieda most of the time. So I guess it was hard for me and I felt bad during the scavenger hunt because I wasn't really being a good crew leader. I half yelled at them a lot because I was beginning to get frustrated. And so I felt like the last day with them wasn't what it could've been and in that aspect, I was sad.
Before I get onto the night, Evelyn reminded me of something that I guess i haven't really remembered in a while. She was taking pictures with somebody's camera, I can't quite recall who's but that doesn't matter. She showed me the picture and I said it was ugly and that's when she told me something I hadn't thought of in a while. For a while it's been an on and off kind of thing where I'm just not very secure because sometimes I don't feel like I'm...very decent to look at. Like it's probably the weirdest sounding way to put it but I guess with my mom telling me that my acne is exploding on my face and just seeing other people i guess i feel insecure often and i've just let it be. She was completely serious as she said to me how dare i mock the creation of God and that I was wonderfully and fearfully made. I haven't thought of that in a while. I guess I always saw that as applying to others but not really myself. So I guess it's something to think about. and for whoever reads this. Thanks EV mak.
Closing ceremony was pretty good I guess. The skit was the funniest and probably the funnest that we've ever done because it was so relaxed. We should probably do it like that next year again. Just points of where each skit is supposed to lead instead of solid lines because then people are a lot more natural and as long as they stay in character. The song was pretty fun and I think it went well. And PY left. it was pretty awesome to just pray for her as a drama team =P and just talk a little more before she left. We'll miss her.
And I gave out the pictures I developed. Except for Frieda =\ which kind of makes me sad because I won't see her for maybe a year because i don't think she comes to church. but hopefully she will tomorrow.
And so now, I guess I don't have much to do. I actually have a plane letter to work on. Should get started on that. =)
Thanks
-Chris
