new

its a new month.. its a new week.. it was a new day.. everything is new again.

its hard for me to accept the fact that i'm getting older. why? because i know that the older i get, the more changes i'll have to go through, the more pain and suffering i have to endure. but at the same time, i know that with the pain and with the suffering comes the joy and happiness
and the love you feel which occurs afterwards. "man's greatest vocation is to love and to suffer."
in an attempt to change things up in my life, i've been taking on a lot of responsibilty--none of which i doubt i'm ready for, but i gotta face it sooner or later.. but the sooner the better, right?

so anyway.. i 'man-ed up' and patched up a few things with my mom. [i got into a little argument that turned out to be bigger than i thought..] today, i tried teaching my brother how to play guitar. i cooked lunch/dinner for my dad today and even discussed shopping with my mom. i'm trying to teach myself piano with chords and i never realized how much i suck. haha.

outside of my home, i've become a lot closer to a lot of people in LF. it feels great to bond with so many people. sure, the situations arent so much on the good side, but i'm very greatful that these situations are bringing us closer as a family of Christ. boys are complicated; prom is hectic; ministries keep you busy; but the most important thing that i have been reminded of this weekend is that a community will always have your back, they'll be there to catch you if you fall, to help you heal your wounds, and to listen when you have something to say. =) praise God! i love you, LFers!! =)

watching moulin rouge at the evangelista's during the greeter's ministry meeting brought back a lot of memories. watching it today adds on to the many memories i have attatched to that movie. makes me love it even more.

the team meeting did too. i missed last year's meetings.. haha. its odd to say, but i'm kinda feeling excited for the LSS! =)

this weekend was very shaky from the start, but the ending was great. Thank you Lord!! =D
