It's been almost 3 weeks since i quit jacob, i quit because a) i wanted to focus on serving at church b) my weekends are all booked up for softball and church stuff c) manager= no good

For the last three week's i've been feeling kind of lost. Since i dropped pneumatos, i feel like i haven't done much in terms of contributing to the church. I feel as if i've totally dropped EVERYTHING or something. Last night i had a meeting with osgood, and we talked about what i need to do for VBS (i'm coordinator this year)...and while we were talking, i started to freak out.
All the responsibilities and the weight of the position started to kick in.
I am actually terribly anxious about screwing up, but yet i am SOO looking forward to it! I really look forward to doing something so big because i know I will learn a lot about organization and leading. There's also no room for screw up. I think if you push away my "easy going" side, i am actually a person who cannot admit to failure, i have a very perfectionist side too, i just give up easily. I want to get everything done the way we plan it, but sometimes i'm really lazy. Anyway, all in all, i am actually very anticipatory of VBS! God is going to continue to mould me into a more effective leader...We have lots of great ideas, great people, great kids, God will work in wonderful ways i am sure. YAY!! omg!!

Something i'm very worried though is....bling bling.
I have so little income nowadays i am like the penniless sitar player in moulin rouge.
Maybe i should perform sitar in the streets to make some money. Just kidding, i don't have a sitar.

God will provide. I really want to concentrate on serving this summer.

I want to start updating more on my blog, it helps me reflect about my days.
Nobody updates, what a pity. Psssh.

Gendiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! My dear! Ha ha...I feel the exact same way about pneumatos! Keep giving your best to God, and I assure you that you'd be amazed by how He uses what we think are our weaknesses and turn them into something good!

"When I came to you brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him cruicified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power" (1 Cor 2:1-5).

May you be strong in God's power!
