Sold Out

Ok, now that i have gotten some rest, here is an extended version of sports day(s). on friday, i went out the school at about 8 and later on, did softball throw, 800m, high jump, 4×200m relay, and medley relay. you know the results for those, so i wont go through the burden of telling you again. on saturday, i went out at about 8 again and later i did 100m, 400m, and 4×100m relay. high jump started at about 1 meter and we worked up from there. like i said, i have done better in practice so that was kinda dissapointing. in softball throw, i had also done better in practice. in practice i got around 23.17 meters and in the event, i only got around 20 meters. sorry for all of you out there who only speak in feet and inches, but thats what you get for living on the wrong side of the world! haha. or not. ok moving on. i had fun on sports day(s) despite the fact that i had a wicked cold so it made it hard breathing but i still did well. and in the end, beta won!!! go beta!!! (oh and in case you didnt get it, the little song thingy at the end of my last posting was the beta cheer.  i cheered so much yesterday that im surprised that i can still talk. although im used to talking so….yea. ok. nevermind.

today in church, 3 of the senior guys spoke to us which was an interesting diversion. they spoke on temptation, depression, and pain. i won’t go into detail on every one, but the last one, pain, really stuck in my mind. The guy who spoke to us about that is our school president. He is a great guy. he said that God, has gone through so much pain that we cannot even imagine. he asked us how many other religions do we know that their god went through pain. he also said that when we are experiencing emotional and physical pain, that we should go to God, because he knows best what we are going through. he said that all through the Bible, it says when we experience pain, that we should look ahead, to heaven, to the good things that are coming. he also said that eternity is a really long time and that heaven is a really great place and he encouraged us to look ahead to the good times and all the joy that we will have. he mentioned that in John 16:22 it says, ” Therefore you now have sorrow; but i will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.” so, just be encouraged, if you are going through a hard time that it will pass and that God knows your pain so talk to him and that in the end, you will have great joy that no one and nothing can take from you.

well, only a few more weeks of school left, 2 weeks and 2 days to be exact. holy cow, its been going so quickly. i cant wait for break cuz when it comes, i can sleep in and chill out. cuz i need the rest really badly!

well, i better go do some homework(oh goody), but i just wanted to give you a better overview of sports day(s).

 

You are so awesome, God

Ah, don’t you just love the end of the school year? it’s so exciting! our school sports day is coming up, in 2 weeks, and everyone is getting ready. the school is split up into two teams, alpha(red) and beta(blue) and the whole day and a half is competition between the two. After school almost every day, the sportsy kids go out to the field and train for the big day. Today, i practiced high jump, hurdles, and different types of sprinting events. Not to say that i am that great at these events, but hey! a gurl can wish can’t she? high jump is really fun if you can actually jump over the bar, but when it gets too high for you to jump over, so that you jump into the bar, it really hurts! i did that one too many times i think. hurdles is also fun, as long as you don’t trip over the hurdle. okay, don’t get the impression i do this all the time…i mean, im not a total ditz!hehe, but its fun anyway.

Banquet, which is a dinner and night of fun for the 11th and 12th graders, is coming up, too. All the parents of the 11th and 12th graders, who put the night on are practically living at the teen centre and all the kids are getting really excited…its the talk of the school. along with sports day, that is.

All the academic stuf is wrapping up too with tests and the end of textbooks. its so exciting…i cant wait! all the band and choir members are practicing and trying desperately to get ready for concerts and all that jazz…haha, get it? jazz? sorry, ok that was really lame!

im trying to write this while watching a rerun of full house so if this doesnt make sense, im sorry. but i usually dont make sense, so this shouldn’t be anything new.

  I wanna sing of Your mercy
