ok eric...

i was told today that i didn't update my blog enough. so there. it's updated.

today was the last day of gladstone christian klub - a high school club that i run, attended mainly by teens who don't go to church...krazee kewl eh? i can't believe that i forgot to bring my camera! it would be so neat to see who comes out every year...to see them grow up - physically... and today we had the big group - 12 people who came pretty regularly throughout the year...

it was some fun times... eating pizza, laughing... chillin'... thanks for what you wrote in the card. aw, i love you guys tons!

i never would have imagined that i would be back in high school doing christian club stuff. i mean, i thought about it while i was in high school - as a speaker came to our club at killarney and said that we could do the same thing when we're in university... but i didn't imagine i would actually be doing it. perhaps you can say it was a idea that i spoke aloud and God took it as a desire and a dream and made it happen.

GCK (easier to pronounce if you call it GeCKo) is really something i look forward to. something i enjoy... just spending time getting to know them - at lunch hour, on email, msn... and 730am phone calls :p

loved getting together and talking and praying on wednesday mornings too... eric and mary, you guys made it special... or else i'd be sitting in my (ok ok i mean, my mom's) car all by myself.

today as they exited the room... i was on the opposite side of the room, so i didn't really give them hugs. i think if i did, i would have broken down and cried. yes, i'm a big little girl.

praying with them, seeing them learn about God and become inspired, watching their faces change as they hear speakers who strike a chord in their hearts... make it all worthwhile. in my life, i always ask myself "is it worth it." this is definitely one of those things that's "worth it." honestly, it's worth all of it. everything that may appear to be a sacrifice to others, everything that looks like it was difficult to do...it all has been worth it.

i think anytime you make investments in people, it's worth it. spending time, pouring into others lives... heck, i'd even forgo my sleep to chill with people (now for me, that's real sacrifice!). if only someone would pay me big bucks to do that... :]

anyways, i'll miss you guys this summer...yes, you too (whoever you are that is reading)... do email (spam) me... and i'll do my best to write back.
