EKG Conference.

I woke up fairly early this morning to attend a Sunday School teachers’ conference called EKG (Empowering Kingdom Growth) at our mother church, North Long Beach Christian Fellowship. I arrived a bit late, maybe about 10 minutes (it started at 9am), but thank the Lord I didn’t really miss much. After the morning general session, we all broke up into our seminars according to the age-group that we teach (I teach elementary-aged kids, from 1st through 6th grade). I wasn’t expecting much really. Actually, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But our seminar speaker/presenter, Ms. Helen Harris was wonderful and engaging and you can tell that she knew what she was talking about. You can see her passion for teaching children as she spoke to us, encouraged us and gave us ideas on how to involve and engage our kids during Sunday school. But the main thing that I came away with after the seminar is the fact that I am playing a small part in introducing these kids to Jesus Christ and making them understand who He is and what He can be to and for them. It’s such a big responsibility, but it’s something that I’m excited to take on. I just need to be prayerfully prepared for each Sunday, and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. I shouldn’t worry about minute, insignificant things, as long as I have the enthusiasm and the passion to talk to these kids about Jesus Christ, God will do the rest.

Honestly, I was a bit hesitant to go to this conference, but now, I thank God that I did.

Whoo-hooooooo!!!!!!!

Heroes, Season 2 premieres TONIGHT!!! How am I gonna handle this?! Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Trying to have some semblance of sanity in the midst of chaos.

It’s been quite a chaotic, well, hectic couple of weeks. That’s why I haven’t really had a chance to update at all. Open house has begun for the new semester here at work, and so I had to deal with never-ending phone-calls and walk-in inquiries. This is on top of the usual stuff that I have to do, plus driving out to our La Habra and Chino Hills locations 3 times in the past couple of weeks. Yeah, it’s been kinda stressful, especially lately. But I won’t get into that now. Yet again, I’m cast as the “bad guy” and I don’t think I deserve it. But I digress. Anyway, walking almost everyday helps relieve the stress though. Yes, I have started walking again. I haven’t gotten to the point of running yet, but I will, hopefully sooner than later. We’ll see how long this will last this time around… hahaha Anyway, I’m trying, “trying” being the operative word here.

Well, a couple of friends got engaged this past week… congrats to them! I’m not sure if it’s OK for me to post their names here, so I’ll just keep their anonymity intact for now, until they tell me it’s OK. They know who they are anyway. And I’m very happy for the both of you!

I guess that’s all I have to say for now. Oh, “The Jane Austen Book Club” is going to be in theatres soon (if it isn’t already). Anybody wanna see it with me? My Jane Austen friends, perhaps?

Man, I can’t get enough of “Pangarap na Bituin” right now! Sheesh! It’s a Filipino soap (a.k.a. “teleserye”) that I watch on The Filipino Channel everyday! Dang you TFC! Dang you! hahaha

In remembrance.

Never forget.

God bless.
