Saturday.......

So yea, last night was PraiseFest. That was awesome!!!! I am so glad that everything went as it did. even at the beginning when it seemed to kinda just go pretty slowly and all. Not a big deal at all. Cause God was in charge. We made that clear from the beginning, that whatever happened was cause God had it in His plan. With that in mind it was a lot easier to let things not affect me too much. I was really stressin at the beginning but I realized that it would all work out.

Thanks soooooo much to everyone who came to support us!!!! You guys all rock. I only mentioned a handful of groups in my last blog, but I wanted to make sure everyone knows their support is greatly appreciated. And I don't know how much we made, but it doesn't matter cause all of it is going to a great cause.....Gawad Kalinga baby!! Yea the presentation was awesome. Hope we can make a difference in someone's life over there.

Today has been the most unproductive day of my life. And I don't really feel bad about it. Well maybe a little, but after working on PFest all week it feels so great to just sit down and not do a single thing. If school wasn't in session I would be in heaven. I slept in until about 12 today which is kinda abnormal for me, I generally don't sleep in too late. But it was the best sleep I've had in over 2 weeks since coming back to Irvine. A bunch of YFC peeps went to Long Beach this morning at 9am!!!! I don't know how they did it. No one got to bed before 3am Im sure....at least I didnt. And as sad as I am that no one is here in Irvine to chill with, I don't think I would have gone to the day of recollection with them even if they'd gone later in the day. I am so spiritually tired right now......don't misinterpret that, I am on a mountaintop right now, especially just after 2 spirit rallies in 1 week, but it takes its toll on me and I just need to relax and chill on my own. I hope God isn't offended haha.
So I did the napoleon dynamite dance last night.....yea that was my "surprise" that I was telling people about. There's actually a great story about it. I was actually not going to do it originally, we were running low on time and people were saying it was gonna get cut. At first I have to say I was a little disappointed, but I realized the dance wasn't really any important part of Pfest and it was God's way of humbling me. I told them it was cool, and I felt really good that God gave me the grace to accept that. I was honestly not even tripping out about it. Then Toni runs up to me and says....."We can do it, only if you can get ready by the time the slideshow is over" I was freaking out cause I didnt know how long the show was but I knew it wasn't much longer......and I hadn't been expecting this at all. So I ran and got changed and literally like 2 minutes later I was doing the dance. I messed it up pretty bad, but I don't even care.....it was the most blatant form of deja vu ever cause our mini skit had been about a girl who had wanted something really badly, then lost it, then been given even more than what she had wanted. I dont know if that makes sense, but I see the connection. Whatever the case may be, I made a fool out of myself yet again, and will forever be remembered as "one of those 3 white guys in the crowd, the one who danced" but all Glory to God for giving me such a great lesson in humility.

What was my favorite part of praisefest? Well I think that's an easy answer......Praise and Worship baby!!!!!!!! I loved the songs we did....seriously every single one of them. I know I complained about "Lord Jesus We Enthrone You" cause it was hard for me to learn, but it was awesome also. The entire time I was thinking how cool singing is!! I love it!! and I think people who suck at it like myself enjoy it more than people who are good, that's why it's painful to watch american idol. That and the people who suck think they are God's gift to earth, which they are, being a child of God and all, but they stretch it a little. Those people make me embarrassed. and I dont get embarrassed easily.

Anyway I hope everyone had as good a time as I did, and I hope God touched you like He touched me!!! Take care everyone
