Have you entered a situation where you weren't prepared for? Sure you have, and I hate it when it happens to me because I like to be as well prepared about things as possible. God continues to teach me, how He is in control of things. I'm thankful for what He did today despite my early bummness about it. Anyways, I got lots to pray and praise tonight so I wanna do it before I go to sleep.

If You Believe

Wow, it's been a while since I've last blogged. I've had some time the past week, really talking to God and wondering how He is using me or others. Even today's worship sermon, gosh that really spoke out to me. Well it frustrated me that I was 10 minutes late to service and as soon as I sat down, I felt so sleepy. But as soon as GrandPastor B, preached His Word I was just left in awe.

I believe this all started that Special Prayer Meeting for Team Taiwan. After that prayer meeting, I was bummed that I did not get to go to be a part of it. Although, I understand that God chose me to stay because there are still plenty of people to spread the Gospel to. He has put many people in my life currently, who've been inquiring bout my faith. Like GP B said last week I believe this is the easiest time to share the Gospel. I've been praying really hard for these people. It was even a challenge as B mentioned about using Bible verses and add them into our own personal testimony. I'm also thankful to Him, because He does not need me to evangelize but yet I am in this position. I just gotta remember that all things are done in His strength.

Also, if ya go to Stef D's link, you can see my kids. I love Lil' G, who is the one grabbing his chicken in the music pic, with the red shirt on the lower left.

Dare You To Move

Wow, what a day at work as we had a field trip to MSU. To make a long story short, all you saw was an explosion between myself and my boss. The worst part about it was that it was in front of the camp. It sucked even more that we are both believers and many people around us know our faith. The arguement got so far that our secretary had to pull my boss away from the bickering. I was upset for the rest of the day and it was nice of my kids to show their sympathy for me and understanding my point of view. I thought it was gonna be a sucky day but it was nice that the counselors also agreed with me too. I'm glad we all went out to Popeyes after work in the D to chill and hangout for 3 hours. I definitely needed it and glad that for the most part my boss and I worked out things after.
 
The best part about this field trip was this girl came up to me and asked me where I went to high school. It was Jill Brundriks, one of the smartest girls in our class at least in my opinion and one of the kindest too. I'm glad to hear that she is getting married soon and hopefully we'll keep in touch. We had french class together and of course she remembers me as the goof off in class. I still have the Christmas present she got for me back in my sophmore year.
 
Back to the whole drama with my boss and I, I know one of my probs is submitting to authority. At the same time, I believe that we should challenge those above us in the heirarchy system if something does not seem right. It's like if my boss told me to jump off a bridge, then am I going to do it? I'm glad to hear that my kids, counselors, and even our higher up staff members agree me. However, none of them wanna say anything because she is our boss and don't want to get into an arguement or get fired. I guess I'm different like that, especially with my kids, I want what's best for them and I'll defend and stand up to anyone if I have to. And we all discussed it over at Popeyes, Friday will be a long day at work already. I'll go with Ayinde's plan for tomorrow and just keep my mouth shut and be a robot.
 
Drawing Me Closer

What a day, nothing better then driving out to Canton for work. Then making your way over to Detroit to run things there. In 2 weeks, the Canton camp will have a closing ceremony where my Detroit kids will be invited to see. I'm in charge of running a lil' show for my Detroit camp so that don't feel left out when Canton does their thing. So what do I have in mind at this point?

Well I'm gonna try to get high tech and do a powerpoint show.
Then I'll move on and do a tribute to the Detroit Pistons with my kids.
3rd I am gonna try to squeeze in a song, sung by Yan Zi, performed by my girls.
Finally we'll cap it off with the finale in which I worked on with some of my kids today. What is the finale? My kids will be doing a dance/skit performance to Jay Chou's "San Nian Er Ban." Let's see the Canton camp top that one off. Now the tough part, is me choregraphing the dance moves while making sure I translated this song correctly. Plus I wanna squeeze in another Jay Chou song, hmmm probably, Qing Tian or Dui Bu Qi.

Finally, the countdown has begun to the KUMC tournament. The games and competition has finally heated up. I'm glad at least C. Jung was with me today. The comp. was pretty good today that it felt good to kick it up a notch at the S.S. level. It would be cool to get some love for YCF, plus free all you can eat bulgogi but there is Fun at the Park.

Ye Hui Mei

Spreading the love, was what happened at ACA today! We had a Christian Evangelism team from Milwaukee come in and share God's Word and do some skits as well. I was excited and pumped for my kids to be hearing the Gospel. However, since this is "reglious" thing we had to get consent from all of the kid's parents to allow them to hear/see this experience. I was bummed that there were at least 7 kids whose parents did not want their kids to take part of this experience. One of my girls came up to me and said that her mom does not want her to believe in God or that Christian stuff. I was bummed but I didn't let that hamper my day.

I had my kids lined up and all fired up ready to go. The Milwaukee team consisted of 30-40 team members and they set a stage right in the middle of our street! I mean if you've seen where I work at, it is not the safest part of the D. I mean we have broken class, hookers, druggies, and homeless people all over the place. But the team set this stage up so huge where we had glaring speakers, and a nice stage so everybody on the streets can see.

I was playing the cheerleader, as I had my kids chant out, CBC, God, and Jesus at different times of the day. The Milwaukee team was even sharing the Gospel to all those who live or were out in the streets. They were just spreading the love and going out of their comfort zone to meet/greet people no matter what they look like, or the amount of money they make, or even if they live in a house. For myself this is something that I need to work on. What a blessed way to end the day at work. At the same time, as I was watching Mission Possible of Milwaukee, my thoughts and prayers remain with Team Taiwan.
