weekend!

ah, my favorite day of the week has arrived... friday! for many reasons. i don't have to make the long commute to work, it's right before the weekend, and i get to start off my weekend with FNA! heck yeah.

so, it looks likes a few of us don't ever check emails. when we meet up for the 5k run, please be sure to encourage the remaining few to keep checking. they've missed out on so much already!

i am so encouraged with this team already. you guys are like a breath of fresh air after a week of staleness. i thank God everyday, and ask for perseverance just for the opportunity to fellowship with you all in preparation of this summer. i hope you've been able to raise some funds for this upcoming run. if not, it's ok. as kristie's QT post said, God will provide at the proper time. let's not be discouraged at how seemingly little we may have raised, but instead remain encouraged that there are still people out there who are willing to give up a little of what they have!

on a more personal note, if you guys could pray for me. not just as a leader, but as a student. for those of you who don't know, i started going to seminary a couple of months ago, but i fell way behind due to all this new work and stuff. but before it gets too late, i scheduled my first exam tomorrow. that means i'm left with today to do a review. it's been too easy lately to fall asleep because i get tired, but just for this one last push, pray that i can find strength.

alright, back to work.

man, did i mention how EXCITED I AM FOR THIS SUMMER? you guys have no idea, really. expect GREAT things.

GLORIA DIOS!
