not for use with hot liquids?

Hey

So firstly, isn't it just kind of ironic that a thermos says on the bottom "not for use with hot liquids"? Kind of defeats the purpose right? Haha just thought it'd put it in because I was washing a friends' thermos and i was reading the bottom and i'm like...what.

Anyways =) Yesterday was another meet up and honestly, i'm so glad that we do it. We haven't done it for 2 weeks. Or I guess I haven't been there for 2 weeks and it's just great to be back with Simon and PY in Freddy's office talking about random things. I kind of regret not being able to hit like the actual prayer earlier because PY ended up leaving before we actually got to pray. We got some good stuff done. She worked on her sketch and it sounds absolutely amazing. Maybe the images dancing in my head are much less abstract so i'm sure it's even more amazing with the spectacular lights and sounds =) It was amazing how we prayed at the very end in Freddy's car. It went for like 10 minutes or more and it was so long that my dad was looking out the window wondering why I hadn't come in yet but it was just amazing to pray with them. That's what I wish it was like every week when we meet up. Also not at like 11 at night =P earlier. So we can all pray. And indeed the sleepover sounds like a wicked idea =) It'd be amazing to have us all there and just talking and praying. It's been so long since we've all been together and just prayed for each other. We've all got so many stories to share and yet so little time with each other. I"m excited to see what God has in store for us because He's done such amazing things through this amazing group of friends already.

Today I volunteered at the Torch Relay at the Civic Center helping little kids make their own paper torches =P It was pretty fun I must say and even though the actual thing was hectic and full of frostbite-feeling fingers, it was still amazing and I got a lot out of it =) Firstly, I got to spend a day with my friends =) I don't often get to do that. I got to work on my patience. A whole lot of kids. A whole lot of paper folding. A whole lot of tape. Thank you God for that opportunity. I also got to see a whole bunch of people from UHS in the morning because apparently they all wanted to see the torch =P And I saw some random kids that I knew. Some from SI, some from Kin Village and some from my old elementary school. I guess I got to see the torch. Not THAT big of a deal =P So many people are like "it's the only time it'll ever pass through Markham" but really, everyday is the only day for something. So really =) Also, P brought some warm beverage for me which was amazingly kind. Thanks for being such an amazing, caring friend =) Sorry I didn't get to say bye. I got tied up making more torches for the rushing children leaving on the buses. And so the entire day was a bunch of ridiculous and at the same time, really fun =) I love volunteering. Especially when I see children. Because sometimes that just negates all the bad and evil that's happened. My fingers feel alright. Didn't think they would. But I guess they did =P I guess it's time for me to depart and study for Bio and just prepare for the last day of school of the yea. oh man. =)

p.requests:
-  I think i've been really thankful this week. Keep it up. there's always something to be thankful for
- being a shining beacon for others. that keeps popping up in my subconscious prayers
- not sleeping too late

love you guys =)
