lead me on Jesus, lead me on :)

i haven't written in a while.
i went to agincourt pentecostal church on sunday. eric just started his volunteer work last week, so i'm now on the market for a church once again. :) cornerstone is a really cool community, don't get me wrong. it's just not MY community. i mean, if i was an older person, like 26+ or so, i'd totally go to that church. it's a pretty happening place!
so yeah, i didn't really know what to expect, bu i was really surprised at how "not pentecostal" it was. i don't know. whenever i think of pentecostal, i think of some like crazy pentecostal action going on - like full of the Spirit type things you know? so i'm all expecting this to happen, and to my surprise it was QUITE 'normal'. a lady spoke in tongues, but someone interpreted it. that was pretty cool!
they had this ROCKIN' choir that sang joy to the world. i think i almost died when i heard them. like, CD quality hello! :) it was awesome stuff. i wish i was sitting closer cuz i couldn't hear them too well, but WOW. great stuff! and the message was pretty solid. it's VERY Biblical - the pastor was busting up Scripture from all over the place! he was basically talking about failures, and used rahab the prostitute as an example. i thought it was really cool how he talked about her and showing how she's in the family tree of Jesus and all this neat stuff. :) very cool! i didn't really see a lot of young people in the congregation, maybe because they don't go to the 11 o'clock service? so i'm going to check out the saturday service at 6:00 pm :) they have this like fellowship for 19-24 year olds called resonate maybe i'll check that out some time.
i'm also thinking i might want to take a peak at unionville alliance church and see what they're all about too. i'm really loving the whole diversity thing. i love it. it's much more of an accurate picture of God's universal family and what heaven is going to be like :) but yeah, i feel as if i'm slowing 'drifting' away from my asian connections or what have you. i'm at CCC, and most likely a non-chinese church. the only connection i have w/ chinese people are my friends in design, and my friends from churches (like sharon, justin, jer, JON :P, etc.) which is a little bit weird. i dunno. i know i'm chinese for a reason. haven't figured out why yet. it's not a big deal to me anymore - not like before. but i do think about it still.
i have an exam tomorrow and on thursday - and then i am FREE!! :) isn't that wild? i'm so looking forward to it. :)
oh, i forgot. last thursday, my friend andrew calls me up because he has a project due on friday. so i'm like yeah i can come over, i have nothing to do. so guess what. i end up "sleeping" over at his house because he needed help on his project and by the time he started working on it, it was like 1 am. so i wasn't just going to leave and go home. i was getting pretty tired. at about 2:30 am, i told him that i was going to sleep and told him to wake me up when he needed help. so he woke me up about 4 times. i basically woke up at 5:30 am, and decided that i would give up on sleeping. i only slept for like 2 hours that night. but yeah, i helped him as best as i could. i think he appreciated that because i like made myself sleep there just to help him.
i'm becoming pretty close with him now. i've been finding out a lot about him, his family, his whole deal. which is really cool. and vice versa. perhaps one of these days we could talk about some God stuff :) i dunno! i don't want to be like forcing it on him or whatever, but yeah that'd be cool. :) very very cool. i do know he used to go to rh3c, but i don't know what happened to him. so we'll see what happens in the future :) on saturday, i basically hung out w/ hiim the entire day cuz we went to cpused to check out the mac sale (which was not worth our time) and then we ate lunch and played games for a few hours!
i think i'm getting used to being in the design program, and just talking to like more people now. when i think about it, i've met a lot of people this term or just have realized that they know i exist :) let's see, i've met: travis, kathryn, lindsey, amanda, silvia, tim, archie, jen, sam, abigal...... hmm, might be more, but i don't remember. i knew some of them from last year, but i didn't realize they know who i was :) lol! so that's neat.. of course i don't know them all personally, we're all more like acquaintinces, but over time i'm sure that'll change somewhat! :)
OH, and guess what? i checked my marks for type II today - and YEAH i got a B on my project 3 and project 4! sweet action :) like hello. a B for my event mark (that's HAND DONE stuff) - isn't that nuts???? soooooo amazing. i thought i would like totally bomb that one since i can't draw worth a rip. and even the chemise, cuz my mom isn't the greatest semstress in the world - but i got a B on that too.. so cool! :) i know i doubt God a lot w/ respects to the design program... but He's always carrying me through it... as long as i try my best, He'll do the rest :) it's as simple as that!
this has turned out to be QUITE the lengthy entry. goes to show that i should write more often so i don't have to bore everybody with the length :p
2 exams to go! i need to study soon... :P i've been watching smallville lately, so good :) i've downloaded like almost all of season one now .. hahah... clark has to hook up with lana! :) i'm waiting for it to happen.. i think i need a life.... :P
g'nite :)
