2nd, fri: got new softball glove!!! =) thanks to Caleb for helping me pick one out! gotta love that word.. "SALE". haha! so excited for this upcoming season! oh! and we saw the most ridiculous thing at market village/pmall. at 3pm, on a friday, ZERO cars in market village parking lot. what the...! and that is what happens when there is no electricity. haha.. so now we've discovered what can stop chinese ppl from working. snow wont work. holidays wont work. but pulling the plug does the trick. =P
3rd, sat: TC REC training (so jokes!), and lunch was even more jokes! then me and rex crashed T3C, where media was practicing, and a/v was also there getting to know the script. and of course, JayHo was there! yes. JayHo. one of the TCjr07 MCs!! haha.. good times. coming up with random ideas. then of course, us (ex)MCs are too cool, that Derk and Candy joined us too! haha.. and here's Rex's infamous quote that made everyone's day!
"why is there no hair on your abs?"
"hair doesn't grow on my abs... OF STEEL!"
HAHAHA... think were talking about pick up lines and stuff. hah.. no macking.. wha?? =P
haha.. anyways, so back to the 27th. wanna blog about that day in more detail.

27th:
AYJCF visit. wow it's changed. didnt know anyone there, xept the leaders and 2 others. but was good seeing matt to, tim kim, jayho, mish, tim jong, willie, (anyone else?) again. and of course, matt wan was the speaker (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!). yeah.. he still came even tho he was sick and was his birthday. but what he talked about was pretty amazing too. kinda what i needed to hear. not what i wanted to hear, but needed to hear. it was from joshua 1. he talked about how moses was such an amazing leader. yet here was joshua. God telling him to be the new leader for the israelites. he more than likely felt fear. how can he live up to moses' standards?
FAITH -----------vs.------------- FEAR
so to summarize it, matt wanted to share about how we shouldn't be comparing ourselves to other leaders we know, cus they seem so much 'greater' than we will ever be. but how every single leader began with a dream or vision. and that we need to lead with faith. not fear. faith that God has called you to do this. not fear of failing or embarassment for stepping up.
this was pretty much the confirmation i needed. and God provided this answer for me. stepping up and helping out scac. thru softball, and worship, and who knows what else to come in the future. to serve and lead.
that was a really brief summary. but thats the main point. haha..
and so here i am, back in rez =( but with my new glove =). ive dropped the softball a few times (oops). haha.. but no one's complained yet. so yay! gotta get my left arm back in shape. haha... i cant wait to pwn some guys again! HAH.
