| long time no post, its been a long while. wow college one year done next year coming up so fast. lots to learn and areas to grow in. im pretty excited to see what God has in store yet not so excited for the classes part haha.
summer's been busy... thats understatement, its been VERY busy i feel like i have no time literaly. it's been good to just learn how to time manage better though. with school 9-3 work 4-7 its been tough but God is good and gets me through each week. i've been learning about God's sovereignty and how i should be able to trust in Him despite the matters and just fear Him alone nothing else. mmm thats all i have to say.

| first quarter of college is done.
i believe it went by really quickly 10 weeks goes by faster than you think. so many things happening so many changes and adjustments that have been going on and still am getting used to. the whole idea of having huge lectures wtih iek 300 people and the curve system. the whole idea of living in the dorms and on my 'own' supposedly. being able to set my own scheudle, working in between class... its all so new.
as for spiritually its been real challenging. God has definately put some obstacles before me but He is definately faithful and has helped me get over them, but im sure there are still more to come. God has been teaching me about His unfailing love and how He will never leave me nor forsake me. its pretty awesome although its been tough in the dorm just fiding good influences but... God is still faihtful and has His own plans. i guess i'll have to see.
yeah and CHRISTmas is approaching so quickly it seems liek time flies. i guess it just doens't feel liek the CHRISTmas time.. strnage but i should be praising God all the same. it shoudn't matter everyday should be dedicated ot Him. im pretty excited for baja though, i realy miss mexico !
mmm overall this quarter was prettya wesome. meeting new people and just getting to know them so quickly lol i love my suite... and my hall is chill overall :) we'l see what God has planned for next quarter. whoo in 3 weeks.. until then IM ON BREAK yay

| college life.
soo the first week of school finally came for me. mmm i guess its pretty much been awesome haha like i love my suite and my hall is pretty chill. i love how if you leave your door open like people walk in and out just to hang out. lol
i've gotten to know my suite (all girls) its pretty cool how we all get along. this week was welcome week and there were different activities and stuff to get you oriented with the school and such it was cool. wednesday there was this mixer thing to get both middle earth and mesa mixed up but it was just like a dance party haha it was oaky for an hour.. then got too hot. lol my classes are pretty cool i like my professors so far but it seems like im going to be a nerd and studying a lot. there was a club fair this week and there were soo many clubs. i know im interested in finding a fellowship, but the question is which one. i guess i'll have to see where God wants me.
mmm well im done for now.

| update time? sure thing.
summer is passing by so quickly. even though i have a month left, i just kinda want to get started. i'm pretty eager just to see what its going to be like at UCI. yet i feel like i have done nothing this summer just because i was supposed to get a job but didn't and kind of gave up. pretty sad but whatever. this whole summer i've been dreading the week that i'd have to say... "see you later" and i've tried to stay positive about it. i really know God has plans for them in college and what not but its just so hard. now that the time is here i just don't know what to say. i've cherished every moment with the guys. it seemed like there were so many "lasts" during this summer, but i have to say it's been one of the most active summers i've had. maybe its because i can drive myself around now i don't have to wait on my parents to give me rides or anything. i think it was worth it. i cherished every moment. :]
what really surprised me was how i was asked to cabin lead at the last minute. crazy what God had planned. after graduation i was kind of looking forward to college camp and being with the 'freshmen' plus i have been hearing all this stuff about it i really wanted to go. at first i was really bummed that i couldn't go anymore but i think i was more surprised that God wanted me to go to interhigh and cabin lead. i felt so unprepared and just so young, but i knew God had plans. it was a hard adjustment because i didn't know anyone from interhigh. all of them were older and kind of knew eachother i felt so isolated at first.. kind of reluctant and shy. i met all the cabin leaders for the first time that friday we left for camp. however i think the experience and just the joy from serving there this year was just so amazing. i praise God for having me serve there instead of going to college camp. i learned just as much if not even more than my own cabin. i realized that God put me back where i started. back in the day my first time at interhigh was where i starated to grow and see that God is real, and i wanted my cabin to see that as well. i have to say my kids in my cabin were pretty awesome. although they didn't quite let me sleep so much and were really hyper and wore me out i love them. :) i really appreciate how they were open after i shared... just to share wtih each other and be vulnerable. after that first night session about dropping the penny, God ahs definately blessed our cabin times. we often went over an hour in discussion. it was pretty funny. it also happened in small gorup time after morning session. pretty awesome. i love how they were so open and just willing to learn about the Lord. one of hte biggest lessons i've learned during this time was even though i felt alone and isolated from the guys/ yuki that they'd still be praising the Lord right beside me i just can't see it. that was real encouraging for me because many times, i felt so alone. And it can be applied to right now as of how i'm feeling. God is faithful. i'm so glad i was able eto serve this year. its funny though because i never pictured myself cabin leading at interhigh, i always thought oh maybe one day ill do senior high, but not interhigh. this year's theme was also amazing "trust in God's unfailing love" and i hope that i will continue to do so. His love is unfailing.... unfailing .....unfailing.
anohter highlight of this summer was campland in sandiego. wow that trip was beyond my expectations. i really was looking forward to it but it just surpassed all awesomeness! getting away from home and just spending it with my brothers and sister in Christ was amazing. like a mini retreat after mt hermon. every day we were in the water.. literally. well i wondery why. haha this place was mainly an RV place wtih showers and a convenient store. although this place wasn't REAL camping it still was really awesome. we actually stayed outside on our cots rather than sleeping in tents. that was really fun. so much fellowship. we cooked every meal ourselves and we wer ealso able to be creative. beach volleyball games and jumping into the bay. kayaking and trying to tip eachother over while finding the lost island. some of us getting hurt while going crab crab to look for some appetizers. lol visiting.. LA JOLLA (with a J sound) AHHH MORE STRUCTURE... lol must rebuild. can't forget HOOPLA. but my favorite parts were the night time camp fires & morning quiet times. it was so refreshing. the first night mann we had a crazyy worship session at least like 2 hours. i played all the songs that i had and knew & turk and yuki filled in as well. soo it was amazing to have worhsip. im glad we brought our guitars. it was a blessing. and also to see kevoo was pretty awesome he visited us our last night. and then that last night was amazing. just to hear everyone's testimony was just... a blessing. i loved it. praise God for the opportunity to share how the Lord has worked in our lives. and every morning waking up to the sunshine and spending time with the Lord. that was great. i loved it. i really missed being outdoors when i got home. haha but i love how we were able to eat crabs every night and not get a diesase.. lol praise God for keeping us healthy. we had boiled the crabs then fried them and put salt and butter ti was tasty but i couldnt eat many. BUT CRAB ROLAMBO was soooo good. haha andd fruity fry ooh man i felt like i had gourmet camping food. lol good times. all in all it was one of the best trips i've had in my life.
college group... rock garden. its different experience. a lot mroe chill and yeah laid back apparently like college camp .. but i wouldn't know i've never been lol. but i really enjoy it. i like how we have time to write encouragement notes and prayer requests i like how wer'e able to intereact more.. i like how wer'e able to share our sin and our praises with eachother tis amazing. i like how we just hang out at church after dinner for like an hour more to hang out. im still getting used to it. im getting to know people so tis cool. i like it. i hope i'll be able to open up more later... right now im still kinda reserved. but hey im a freshie right.. haha one of the few left here at wpc. lol
journey college group. tuesday nights been a d ifferent expereince. ive enjoyed it because i've been able to meet new people and see some old faces. its cool because its different than rock garden but essentially the same. im glad that warren invited me and jeff out. its been cool just to hang out with them and also meet new people. we have been learning about different religons and how we can defend our faith in a sense. my favorite sitll was when we learned about islam and we had to do this hands on experiment of what it's like to be of islamic faith where you have to cleanse yourself before going into hte mosque & girls had to wear the headdress it was funny... washing our feet and face and mouthes legs... everything haha prety funny. made me grateful that i don't have to do that. dont know if i'll be going out anymore to journey tis kinda far... and yeah ill try maybe. we'll see.
songs of joy. oh wow i can't believe its halfway over. i can't believe im practically in charge iwth murdle and lisa... i can't believe im teaching! lol but praise God for hte opportunity to share. i feel like its a different feel and yeah lot more things to do and be in charge with but yeah. i like it... i enjoy this ministry. its really honed my leaderhsip skills and yeah i'd love to share my love for worship. my patience is tested but its cool i enjoy it nonetheless. however i do miss going to service but its okay. its for God. next year will be interesting... lol lisa will be in the background and murdle and i are practically in charge. wow. pray for me if anyone reads this far... that i will not doubt what God hs hplanned for me in this... i feel sometimes that im not worthy or not good enough but thats selfish. God put me here for a reason and i should trust that He will be glorified nonetheless.
staying out late... eh i shouldn't do it anymore. i need to get in good terms with my parents like kiyoshi & jeff said. lol been staying out until like 1 or 2 .... and yeah parents are kind of mad at me now. but i think i pushed the limit when i stayed out utnil 3 and yeah they were really upset. soo yeah i think im not going to stya out as late anymore. no more late night hanging out. i have to be home by 12 anyway.
hmmm anohter thing that's been on my mind. this conflict i got myself into. how i kind of let it slide ... but iono. ive been praying about it and still feel guity sometimes. i pray that this is in God's hands. God is faithful and answers prayers. i know it.
last hangout last thursday... all the guys plus me haha pretty fun. actually realy awesome. beach volleyball... water... beach volleyball again then more water. eating at fuji burger and then watching a movie based off of mafia the game called cry_wolf pretty funny. we had the sudden urge to play mafia afterwards. ahh good times. breaking the screen door almost at jeff's house. so memorable. good way to end wtih a blast. glad i was able to be 'michael' with you guys. lol
hmm im really happy ive been ableto meet new people. i can't wait to build friendships. i love meeting new people. yeah we'll see what happens. God is so amazing i was able to just rebuild a friendship with a friend i met at driving school and ive been able to bring her out to college group and the post rally its been pretty awesome. glad we were ablet o reuinte since she moved to irvine. whoo im excited. :)
ehh im surprised that if anyone has gotten to this point wow.... props to you. haha sorry to vent out whats been goign on. just ubeen crazy. so many things going on. so many changes. its crazy. but i kinda wrote this out just to let it out... and just see the blessings that God has brought this summer. i loved every moment of it... good and bad. spending time with the guys... yeah been super awesome. doing random things haha going to beach alot...all the surprises! and just yeah everything im so grateful for this summer. its not the last time ill see everyone. we're all still connected through Christ. we're more than friends. we're family. yesterday i felt pretty lethargic and just.. upset but i see it now just a great opportunity for God to use this and work in their lives and for them to be light son their campuses. im praying for hte best. :D can't wait to share the blessings that are to come. haha ZENIORS '08 can't wait to open that restaurant with you guys when we all retire. haha it'll be funny. but i feel that i need guidance. im kind of confused and just... stuck dont know what God wants me to do now. we'll see what happens. just keep praying just keep praying . haha yeah i hope for the best of you 'freshies' :] i'll miss you guys.

| so...i have no more high school days of actual school left. its pretty crazy. last week was intense reminiscing and not really studying... just trying ot enjoy what i have left... all that i took for granted these past four years. everything. but these last few days were meaningful and amazing. praise God. and just for the realization that i've been looking for friends but realizing that they're right in front of me. all this time.. since elementary school... right there.... and i really enjoyed spending time wtih my ecr friends this week. "make new friends, but keep the old. one is silver and the other gold"
its been crazy as i've been looking back how God has worked in my life just so many blessings. ike pono & the growth, ho'a group coming together, seeing the underclassmen grow and take leadership, making new friends, doing random things and hangouts, car times... everything. and just realizing... one of the greatest accomplishments for me in high school was building a relationship with God a deep and just intimate one... and how i've learned how to rely on Him more than myself... trusting in His plans. its just so amazing what He can provide just so mcuh better than my plans. last week was the senior panel and it was a blessing to hear from my brothers and sister and how they have grown so amazing. :)
kari... if you read this. i luhh yuhh.. haha hopefully i don't embarass you but you have inspired me... and blessed me and just yeah really been a little sis to me. you always make fun of me.. for my stupid things i do and stuff i say on accident XD haha you never fail to embarrass me.. lol especially letting me run into the sign. i think you've known me longest at church... lol since what you were in 4th grade and i was in 5th wow. good times. its been fun in bball with you but im blessed that we really got to be close this yeaar... doing our little bible studies and car times :) amazing... God really has helped you grow this year... keep challenging yourself. never stop trusting God... seek Him in hard times. let your light shine. encourage your parents.... its a blessing to have shared that moment with you... of celebration your dad... praise God praise God... :) for He is sooo good to us. and keep reaching out to your mom :) hehe encourage her... start that bible study too! thanks for listening to me...and praying for me. i know you can be a leader... i see it... you've grown so much... just trust God to use you next year. don't worry too much about colleges and stuff. i love you <3
to my brothers ... haha mannn good times... serving along side you :) way to be a team... ZENIORS 08 whoo!! i'm so blessed to see each one of you just always there to encourage and build up the body... and just how you reached out to everyone... i was blessed to hear your testimonies during senior panel.. super encouraging. although i've been only one of hte few girls in our grade.. im still blessed to just fellowship wtih you guys... ahah so fun you bring the fun to our hangouts. God will provide for you guys in college and yeah keep seeking Him first. haha i am also glad to have been "honorary man" as Michael !! XD haha thanks for keepign me accountable and just being such an inspiration to me.
recently i've been able to minister to my friend at ROP nursing class.. its such a blessing i never would have expected something liek this to happen. God never ceases to amaze me. so last week she asks me to come to bible study on wednesday wtih me... and i was super surprise dand yeah it was a blessing cuz she really enjoyed it... and she came to ike pono during senior panel and she enjoyed it. that was just such a great blessing... so unexpected and just so amazing. it just opened my eyes.. just to see that its so easy to minister to others.. we just have to take the opportunties God provides for us.
this past week.. as i said earlier i was able to hang out with my elementary school friends. so on the last day of school we go to the beach and ti was just a blessing to hang out with them... see how long we've been together... i feel like i've abandoned them through high school kinda distanced myself and tried to find new friends but yeah...i really miss them. i really care about them... lol we practically grew up together. i hope i can rebuild that bond... a better one and just be closer to them. and a person in particular... lots of stuff has happened between us but i feel that God is calling me back... i hope that i'll be able to minister to her...we used to be close and yeah now... not so much but yeah i hope that will change.
last ike pono .. senior farewell just a blessing. i love them so... everyone ... including staff. :) soo amazing and has blessed me through my high school years. definately provided growth and accountability. i'll miss my brothers though... once we all part.. but i know GOd has plans for us all. and that its not forever good bye... we'll see eachother eventually :] cuz we're family. i think.. it was jsut emotional for me cuz it wont be the same... like being a part of ike pono is different than just visiting or like yeah iono. maybe someday on staff. one day... i hope to be on staff... but i ahve lots to learn. still learning more and more about GOd.. jsut like mel said... you realize how much you dont know about God. all in all this year was a super blessing. to see everyone step up and just yeah take charge.. and how everyone just kinda gelled together. i'll be praying for the future years. and hopefully it'll be even better!! :D
graduation next tuesday... whohoo. somewaht excited but don't know what to think yet? lol confused at the moment. still reminiscing. anyway... i think im done ranting for now.
