My 21st Birthday!
My birthday was a blast! Definately not at all what I had pictured or thought my 21st birthday would be like, but one that I will NEVER forget! It all started with my first gift from Tiffany & co. and ended with a dance party and late night movie with the people who mean the most to me here in Hong Kong: Our Youth Group. We had so much fun! I even had a homemade cake, compliments of Joseph Ariwi, and it was mmm mmm good! I got some great gifts from some students in the youth group that I was not expecting at all! I was so thankful beyond words to see how much everyone cared. Overall it was great! The best 21st Birthday Ever!
My Family In Hong Kong!
Can you believe that my family was here?!? I know me either! They flew in on the 18th of March and were here til the 23rd. A very short but O so memorable trip. I can't even begin to put into words what a blessing it was to see them, fellowship, love on eachother and argue just like old times. It felt like I was with them all along and that I wasnt living in a foriegn country. Even though we hadn't scene eachother for 8 months it felt like I had been with them all year. I was so thankful for the time we had together and I praise God for providing for them to come see where I live and what I do here. I know they had fun, despite the initial culture shock. I love them!
And COLDPLAY!
Yes I said Coldplay! Live and in Technicolor! WoOoHoOo! It was the best concert I have ever been to my life and the most expensive concert at that! I had been wanting to go but didnt have a ticket, but in line with my spontaneous nature, I recieved a message the morning of the concert which requested my presence at this once in a live time endeavor. Of course I said yes, paid the money, sat by people I met the night of the concert, in the very back, but thanks to the awesomeness (yes it's a word) of Coldplay they came to the back and played a few songs. hints my amazing shot above this text with my amazing Nikon. :)
Wow it has been an amazing month eh?
And that's not all! I started a new class called BECOMING. It is geared toward the girls in our youth group and we meet every other Saturday to talk about life issues that the girls struggle with. By God's grace our past two meetings have been awesome and I have had more girls turn out then expected! I'm so thankful for the fellowship it provides and the Word of God that penetrates our hearts. Be praying for that to continue to grow and that I may be able to teach exactly what God wants these young ladies to hear in order for them to Become God's best.
Our Discple Now (DNOW) weekend is this weekend! I"m swamped at work busy with last minute prep and tons of other things! I'm excited about it but worried about a few things that may fall through. Please be praying that Everything gets worked out and that the weekend will be a success! Sorry for such a late post! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers!
Much Love!
