i still can't believe it!
my group won 2nd in the 'wonders of science" poster competition!
whoohoo!
thanks to our darling clara!
haha!
some of the presentations were so boring we slept through them.
and we were such pigs! taking so much chocolate and marshmellows.
beatrice's group won 1st for poster! YEAH!
and the guy said:
WELL DONE CHIJ!
and i was like, jumping and screaming:
"yes!yes!yes! they won! they won! ahhh! oh my gosh!"
the funniest part was that when we didn't win 3rd, i thought there was no hope. but i couldn't even remember our group's name at that time! and then...
the second prize winner is...
LIVING WATER..!
and i started screaming. i seriously couldn't help but be shocked.
I LOVE YOU CLARA!
yeaps!
today was a beautiful day Lord.
thank you for all those angels you sent to me!
there was a group of NYC people who came down to our school to perform today! they were sort of like this youth group, in which they dance and sing praise and worship songs. it rocked! they were so cool! :D but we had to leave halfway so we didn't really see all of it. :(( but what they said really made sense. don't let any one limit you. and it's His air we breathe, it's His world we live in. He created us! have you ever thought of what that means? no, i meant really sat down and though about it and all the things he did for us? if you really did, you would cry. because this past year has been real hard. the hardest so far. and so many things happened and they happened so fast. there was actually a time when i whispered to God:
" Dear Lord,
things really aren't working out for me now.
these past few weeks has been just crap.
please let today be better. "
and that day was a wednesday. it was during cat class in school which was right after morning assembly. and after recess, BAM. it was a miracle and i almost cried.
mrs alex came looking for me and told me i won the commonwealth thing. i was so damn happy and the first thing i thought about was cat class. and i wanted to cry. i was so shaken i couldn't say anything to mrs alex. i just stared. great wasn't it?
there was another time beforewhen i was in church and it struck me real hard suddenly: what if God doesn't exist. how the hell do you know that this is real? look at your life. after p5, when you chose to be more spiritual, where was he? you life just went downhill from there didn't it? where was he when all those things happened to you? then i prayed:
"dear Lord,
if you really exist prove it to me"
and less than a week later, i broke down crying in church. all i did was look up at the altar and i began to cry. because i knew, and i was just so sure, that he was real. that he was there. that he has always been, is, and will be there.
