Hey
I guess yesterday's post wasn't quite very coherent because it was super late and I was...really tired =P Which usually happens when it's really late. So to start, I can't believe it's September . September indicates the start of school, the start of autumn, the start of a new year at KNA. It just also means the end of summer, the end of this break and the end of this year at KNA. I could write a lot about it. And I probably will. Haha I should be sleeping but oh well =)
This year in KNA was...a year of big expectations. After the VBC rooftop fellowship, my relationship with God grew. I understood the real sense of fellowship and just how crucial it was because it creates an openness that spans beyond things of this world. It's amazing. And so I guess throughout the year, I really wanted fellowship and accountability within K-cab and KNA. I also got to do leadership. Serving in AV taught me a lot, gave me more time with other people and was just awesome =) Also ended up planning the repentance program which was...some crazy stuff. God really worked that night. =)
My cell group was really interesting. Slow to start, a little unstable but none the less awesome. Love you guys. And I had my very first accountability partner. I've never called people over the phone before. Vince was the first person that I had consistent 1 hour convos with =P And to this date, the only one. He's absolutely amazing and I miss him. He's on a boat too. another one though
I miss everyone actually. Sam's hugs and witty jokes, Nat Tay's laugh and her ability to out-man me =P, Steph's smile and encouragement, Freddy's down to eartness, PY's spontaneous singing and sheer coolness, Vince's accountability, Silas' Mac promotion, V-shizzle's gangster qualities. The list could go on =) And they're like all serving in KNA. WE'RE all serving in K-cab =)
well usually the people who read this are in K-cab. =) And it's just so exciting becuase I read Freddy's text today and seeing that the theme was Home it's like...it's gonna be awesome =) Excited i am. Excited to the core =)
Well I should briefly talk about the cruise itself. Yesterday we went to Bar Harbor which is this little quaint town in Maine. Nothing super special. Just cute. I wrote miscommunication because it seems a lot of that is happening these days. Yesterday my mom got frustrated because there was a lot of miscommunication and wandering and separation. I hope today was better. I think it was.
My sister also tried out for Princess Pop Star. Sang A Thousand Miles. Didn't win but it was for fun =)
Today we were at St. John in New Brunswick. Small town. Canadian! Texted people =). Well just Freddy and Sam. Wanted to text a lot of people but I didn't quite know what to say. I"m not very good with texts. But I'm just happy I got to communication with people.
On my mind...a lot of stuff. After writing about KNA, that's what my heart is set on. I said it today to my cousin. This cruise...it's so foreign. It doesn't satisfy me. At all. It's nice. It's got a lot of stuff to do. It's fun. But yet, i don't feel completely satisfied. Actually not even half satisfied. It's a lot of living in the moment. Something I don't really do. And all this busyness and overeating just makes me feel disconnected. I'm thankful the Lord has given me this vacation. And maybe this wasn't to necessarily to give me time off but rather just show me how awesome everyone is =) How I should cherish them. It's more of a vacation for my mom. She doesn't have to worry about very much. Which is great =)
Another thing on my mind is the girl. I haven't talked to my sister about it yet. And I want to before she leaves. I really value her opinion. Not just in fashion but also in Christ, in the world, in everything. She's not perfect, but she's my sister and she's awesome. I've been thinking about the girl.
Just in general though, I miss everyone. I could cry. Maybe =) It's just a longing for them. Like I can imagine myself going back on Sunday and just hugging people like crazy because I'd be just so happy to see them.
And I guess the last thing on my mind is God. Big topic =) But partly covered already. I haven't really been doing devos. At all. And it's cause this sad feeling because I"m spending time watching movies and not spending time with the God who created the universe. But I"m glad He's shown me things on this cruise. The world is different. Maybe it's being in a church environment all summer. The seculararility is so different. And it's like there's such a big need for God. Maybe that came out weird. Oh well
And also, God's just spoken to me in general about treasuring others at this moment it's my KNA friends but it's true with all people
And so this is probably the end. The cruise is almost over. It's a sweet and bitter thing. we'll leave that for tomorrow though .Goodnight and...god bless =)
