we didn't come to worship under any other Name

Hey 

Woke up this morning and I ended up making breakfast and everything for myself. Usually my mom's downstairs but I came down and it was still dark and it was kind of fun just doing everything. And letting my dad sleep in =P 

Got to church and worship was good. Short. Fast. Got to chill on the stage for a little and it was nice not being super rushed and stressing about time. Driven didn't have any AV person so i did some rush AV until Ben came then it was fine. We prayed in groups before service. And it's something we haven't done in a while. We've been so rushed these last couple of months that we didn't get to really pray for a bit before worship started. The sermon was good. It's a message I think I need to hear. Like i know it. And it's probably something that's been said at least 20 times to me because I've been here for like...7 years. It was about reaching out to other people and not to let culture , area and laziness get in the way. 

Children worship was...it was fun today =) The kids did the actions and it was just kind of less stressful because when we stared at each other between actions we were all kind of laughing because we weren't completely sure about them. And she looked happier. Which is good. She looked so tired in the morning, hope she got enough rest. 

Got to practice some stuff with the youth worship team for the Christmas Eve Chinese Service. Was pretty fun =P Gonna try and do some black gospel with Jeff. And Kevin when he comes to a practice =P It was good, just joking around and singing and just...having a blast =P 

Did my testimony today for the video and I was kind of nervous about it because it was kind of rushed and when I got there we were an hour behind because some people had taken more than 30 minutes which is reasonable and understandable. I kind of had some freak out ness for a while. Like Si ended up not changing anything but what took the longest was me doing it and just kind of sitting there going over the points. In the end I ended up looking super nervous, kind of serious and at the end i go ridiculous. But that's alright i guess =P 
I'm actually kind of hoping my school friends come. I don't know if they would because they're....well they're not really strongly religiously affiliated and I don't know if they'd see it as a big thing. Plus they might have work. But we'll see. I kind of invited them. Need to find out what time it is though before I tell them again. 

well i guess it's time to go.

p.requests:
- discipline; not getting lazy
- for school...i guess not to be so rushed as to not spend time praying. even when i'm walking.
