Refreshed
This past week has been one of the most refreshing weeks ever for me. After taking 2 sessions of summer school it finally came to end. Here's a list of things I did during my week long summer break, and my reflections on them.
-PIHOP: I finally got to go to PIHOP after wanting to go last summer! It was honestly such a refreshing time of worship. Everybody was open and free in the room. Just walking in to the room, I could really feel God's presence in that room. The worship was super simple and reminded me of united pursuit. The lyrics we were singing were basic sentences with less than 10 words, and we were singing them over and over. Yeah, it was really cool seeing how the spirit was able to move in the place. A glimpse of what heaven is like worshiping God all day everyday.
-Roscoes: Who doesn't like fried chicken with waffles?! 1st time! oh yes!!!
-CSULB AACF: Got to go back csulb for the first time since I helped one of my best friends move in. Had an awesome time of worship and fellowship. Had a reflection time in where we reflected on are weaknesses, strengths, and how we can grow. That was a super nice time of sharing and getting to know the guys more. Everybody was super welcoming and friendly. Got to Bang! and grab some orange bang from 711 with my best friends.
-Naruto: Got all caught up!!! Super crazyyyyyy. Honestly loved the part when Naruto met his mom. He finally found out that his parents loved and sacrificed his lives for him. I wanted to cry, hahaha.
-Forgotten God: Got to go through 6 chapters of forgotten God with two of my best friends. It was a revealing and nice time to reflect on my life. One of the biggest points that hit me is when Francis spoke about us as Christians neglecting the Holy Spirit. It seemed super relatable that whenever we ignore where the spirit is calling us to be, we disrespect God. So yeah, that was one of the major points that triggered self-examination of my life.
-Kids: I got to catch up with the kids. I hung out with Matt who is currently a senior in high school. It was really nice time of catching up and see his vision for Hikoi (high school fellowship). Then we got to hang out with another kid his year and his younger brother which I had as my kid for camp last year. After that, I took two of them to my diciplers place and played MJ. hahaha. I'm such a bad influence it was a school night for both of them.
- Yard house and Fellowship: Went to yard house for the first time with the bros. Went to happy hour for 50% off appetizers (yes, so asian indeed). After that, we went to spencers place and shared. We shared about this past year and how it pretty much went. After, we shared about this upcoming year and if we had any concerns. We ended the time by praying for each other. I was tempted to bounce and leave for Irvine, but they told me to sleepover. I did, and it was definitely worthi it. We went shopping for fruit at 1:30 in the morning. Then we ate fruit and played pandemic at the same time till 3:30 in the morning. Woke up at 7:45 to drive to Irvine. Definitely worth it!
Yup, so this caps off my week long of summer at home. Definitely super refreshing and such a blessing. Can't wait to see where God takes me this year of school.
