Thanks for making this birthday special, y’all!

“May you be blessed by the Lord!” – Ps 115:15

I  public transit.

All I wanted was just to go home... and that took 2 hours and 37 minutes.

perhaps it's time for a little update...nothing much to say so here's a song for you

The Hammer Holds
by: Bebo Norman

A shapeless piece of steel, that's all I claim to be
This Hammer pounds to give me form,

This flame, it melts my dreams
I glow with fire and fury, as I'm twisted like a vine
My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here,

For they, the Hammer holds
And the water, it cools me gray,

And the hurt's subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point,

What is my purpose now?
And the question still remains, what am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here,

For they, the Hammer holds
The Hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly,

Through flesh, and wood reveals
A burn that burns much deeper, it's more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take the life of a Guiltless Man
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the pain
And hurt a little, hurt for me, my future is so bold
But my dreams are not the issue here,

For they, the Hammer holds

This task before me may seem unclear
But it, my Maker holds

( *smile*...that takes care of a lot of things, doesn't it? )

*siiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

What to do? Here’s a question for ya…

I just found out that my relatives are going to be visiting from Aug 19-24. And leisure camp is Aug 23-25… The time you guys went to Lynwood, this same thing happened. Some reasons for going to leisure camp are: 1) I’ve already handed in my form 2) Probably the last leisure camp I’ll ever go to with the Elim/Bethel shift 3) All the other reasons which make leisure camp a memorable, valuable experience/lesson. Some reasons to stay at home are: 1) These are my bestest and favouritest cousins/uncle and aunt 2) We don’t get to see/talk to each other very often…dunno when the next time they’ll come up is… 3) Parents of course want me to stay and go on the “family vacation”/ have fun with family.

I hope if I back out of leisure camp, I won’t damage the costs for renting/playing… But then…I’d be so relunctant to give LC up…and yet…I wanna spend time with family too…

So here’s a question for all you loyal and faithful readers who have gotten this far reading my blog:

Q: Should Elaine go to leisure camp or stay at home with relatives who are visiting from San Fran?

A)    LC

B)    SF

A penny for your thoughts... Time is of the essence!

(oh yeah, prayers would be greatly appreciated too)
