Hey, I thought I'd just give another quick update before I hit the books.
Worship... I'm still trying to figure out the harmony for some of the songs, which is getting really frustrating, but I know I can do it. It is just gonna take some time, and hopefully I can help from someone if I need it. However, today was discouraging! I went to check my e-mail, and I found that my youth worship leader had e-mailed me, asking if I could play this week! ITS MY SISTER'S GRAD THE SAME DAY! =( I'm a little depressed about that, because I LOVE playing on my youth worship team. I had no idea he was going to ask me to play again this month, I assumed the last time I played it was going to be the last worship time too. I just hope this grad is worth me missing it...
China... MY MOM'S COMING HOME TODAY! It will be nice to have her home again =), and from what I've heard from her, she's is so ready to come home. Her flight comes in, in 7 hours =D! But my siblings and I will have to wait a few hours after flight comes in to see her, she only wants my dad picking her up (just for some peace and quiet before coming home).
Grad.... Grad's on Thursday! I'm more or less excited now. I mean, I am excited, but there are parts that I'm kind of dreading (such as the 2 hours of sitting and listening to people talk and so on). Also because of what I told you about the worship. I can't wait to see all my friends there though, it will be fun, I hope.
Anyways, I better get busy with my school.... I'm afraid that if I write anymore, it will just continue to go do down hill in depression.
God Bless!

Worship, China, etc...
Hello, I thought I'd just poste a quick update before I start my busy day.
So the last few days have been interesting. By Wednesday last week, I kind of accepted the fact that mom is away, and the missing feeling is not as extreme. I mean I still miss her, but I've gotten used to not being at home. She's been doing great things with the China Lights! They went treking in the mountains to these really evil/dark places. We've been getting a couple of texts from them too, short, but sweet and to the point ;). So as far as I know, they are all alive and well, just tired, and they are loving the food =P. Keep praying for them please!
Worship team.... Well, Velocity worship is over now, as Velocity is almost as well, they are wrapping it up for the summer with the last two events that I will not be able to attend. Its a little sad not being e-mailed asking to help lead worship, its something I look forward to every month (sometimes more than just once a month). However, I filled out a form volunteering to play keyboard, or sing on one of the church worship teams. On May 29th, at 3:20- 3:45pm, they want me to audition for both ;). But yeah, I'm a little nervious about the audition because they are expecting me to sing melody and harmony at the audition. I'm not nervious about the synth audition though, its really easy =P. Pray for me please! I only have about a week and a half to prepare.
School.. I'm am just trying my best to get everything done, and I'm getting a little anxious now because I have 4 weeks to complete my courses. I know I can do it! I just need hope, and I've seen it, but I need a sign to show that there is hope yet. Another prayer request! Please pray that I'll finish everything on time, or at least just complete them one way or another.
Grad... GRAD IS NEXT WEEK =D! I'm so looking forward to my sister's graduation! It's going to be fabulous! My amazing Ratzlaff family is coming, 5 & 2 guys and gals are coming, my grandma, and its just gonna be a great time! I'm mostly looking forward to the dance though, it was amazing last year, and I'm hoping it will be just as great =). We are planning a get together/ sleep over with our favourite Darby family after grad too, so it hopefully it will work out alright, I'm still not totally sure what we are doing though. Ideas keep getting thrown into a pile and but we never actually conclude anything, but personally I think some of the ideas are a little crazy and dangerous.
Friday... I'm actually quite look forward to tomorrow, well for the most part. I have to go into my school for math tutoring, that will last until about 2:30/3ish. Then we are picking up food (for the weekend) from our grandparents' house. Then the best part! The Wejemufas are coming over! =D It will be great! We are going to have pizza and watch Lord of the Rings (well one of them anyways, we can't really spend 9 hours watching movies =P).
Anways it is now past 11. I should get down to some school. I'll try to blog again if/when I have time to spare. Have a great week!
God Bless!

China and a Favourite Quote
Hello, I thought I should update since it has been a while.
Well, my mom left yesterday for China. I'm happy for her, however, I can't stop missing her. My mom has never been gone this long before, I mean, the longest she's ever been away from home was for a weekend. I'm not going to be able to see her for 2 weeks. I know it may seem cheesy, but I really miss my mom. I'm not used to her not being home and being so far away. It is going to be difficult to talk to her too because of the time difference (she's like 13 hours ahead of us), and because she is going to be busy pretty much the whole time. I've been trying my best not to think about it and cry, but today it didn't work so well. I mean, I managed all day without crying or thinking about her, but on the drive home from my school I couldn't help it. We even went to my grandparents' house to pick up some food, and when I saw my grandma I started crying again, and eventually she started crying too (didn't help that we gave her a family picture of us).
This week I'm on the worship team =). I always enjoy it, so it should be a good way to keep me physically and mentally busy.
Here is a quote I'd like to share. It is a quote by one of my best friends, and it is one of my favourites:
~ Jesse Darby
Anyways, that's all for now.... Sorry about this entry being a little depressing, and my apologies for any spelling or grammar errors, I'm sort of watching a movie at the same time. =P
God Bless!

"A smile is like a fire, if it has enough fuel it will grow in other peoples hearts. And any smile is definitely contagious. In a good smile, your whole face will smile; your eyes, your mouth, your nose...ears... and a good smile shows how happy you are as well. So since you are happy and you're smiling, in reward, your smile will grow in your friends. And if you ask "how do you help your friends each day?" When a friend sees a friend who is smiling and happy at that! The friend who observes your smile, will smile to!"
