alright it's not my intention to mundanely list all that's happened today so i won't. but i will talk abt the many things that have happened today which have made me glad :) which would then pretty much be a run down of the day's events. haha hope it won't be mundane tho. but no matter anyhow, just need to count my blessings out loud coz i can't keep it in! ok so here goes..maybe u'll identify with a thing or two and give thanks with me! :)

1. i had a beautiful time worshipping my Lord today. and i hear some of u did too :)
2. i thank God for the sermon P.J. preached which i prayed would speek straight into the hearts of some of my cg members which they later shared that it did indeed :)
3. i had a great time with my cg over lunch just talking abt random things and watching nat laugh..and laugh...and laugh somemore.
4. i had an even greater time hearing my cg share about their own encounters with God this week, how and what they struggle with, and how they desire to meet with Him in the week to come (this definitely was the highlight of my day!)
5. i was reminded again of how God, You are so so real. and i see that most clearly when You work in the lives of each and every one of my cg members. :) it truly makes my heart sing!
6. i thank God for how my cg's beginning to bond and share openly and be real. my coals are turning white!!!! keep burning u guys!
7. i had a good time talking to amanda as well :)
8. i enjoyed the impromptu shopping date with limmy! haha discovered tt besides having our height and surnames in common, we've got a whole lot of other interesting things in common too! was definitely refreshing to spend time with someone outside my cg and my usual sphere :) oh and i thoroughly enjoyed grocery shopping!!! haha it was so so fun shopping with someone who likes the same kinda stuff i do..haha
9. i trained home with caleb leng today which was a first! got to hear abt what's going on in his cg and shared abt what's going on in mine and i believe we both left the short but divinely appointed conversation encouraged, refreshed, and affirmed serving in our cgs :) it's great hearing how God's working even in the youngest of our youth ministry!
10. and kor came home for dinner instead of going for soccer so it was nice to have our usual family dinner sharing abt all tt's been going on with each of us, sharing random anecdotes from our week, laughing at each other, enjoying mom's peprika (sp?) chicken, and connecting with one another basically. (psst...and i hear tt the youth team beat the adults for the first time in a long long time at today's match...heh maybe coz my bro din play! ahahahaha)

yup...should stop at 10 coz it's a nice perfect number..haha oh but just 2 more! i love being in contact reguarly with my "long-lost" cuzzie :) ur like the little sister i never had and its lovely having u in church dearie! i thank God for you coz ur real special :) and the 5th season of the apprentice starts tonite! woot! haha looking forward to that :)

ok so i truly am blessed. and i need to consciously count them! and remind myself to give thanks! coz i tend to slump into the pits when i'm terribly bogged down by work. with a 40% paper due on tues which i'm struggling with (isn't as easy to write as i thought...knew it'd come to this..haha), a summary i need to prepare for wed's research class, and thesis proposal presentation this thurs....i'm gonna need to keep counting my blessings and focus on the good things He has done! haha and here's a portion of a song tt lifted my spirit today and i wanna keep singing thru the week! Exceeding joy!
