Masquerade, Soccer, Kawhia

Hey!! Well this weekend was pretty awesome. I didn't get ANY work done
(oops!) however I did have fun :)

Friday
The boys put on a masquerade dinner for us girls so all Friday
afternoon us girls were running about curling hair, putting on makeup, making
sure our masks matched our outfits, and what not. When we were all
through we looked SO good. yes i know i just sounded like Teen Girl Squad,
but that's how we looked: SO GOOD!! Man i wish you guys could have seen
it!! If you want just e-mail me and I can send you a picture or two.
And don't even get me started on the boys!! I seriously don't think
there's anything better looking than a man in a suit!! NO JOKE! OKay that's
just my humble opinion, but still!! So the boys escorted us to our
tables, Ben and Simon played giutar, we had pasta and bread and really good
dessert cake. Then came the best part.......DANCE PARTY!!! oh yea! WE
danced and we danced! It was just at really good night :)

Saturday
So then after all the dressing up the night before, a few of us went
and played at the soccer tournament. Yes i know i told you that I would
die.....I was joking people! Obviously i didn't die....but i sure did
feel exhausted! We lost all our games :( I really don't think I'm made
for soccer. It took me a little while to figure out a strategy for
playing, however i was on the social team and all the really really good
players were on the serious team. Then again they lost all their games
except one (WOOHOO!!). But everyone on that team were really good players.

After we got back to school a few of us watched Hitch. I like that
movie. However I'm realising that "love" doesn't happen like it does in the
movies. It takes time and really getting to know the other person and
putting God into your relationship should be the first thing that you
do. And in case you're wondering....... NO! I'm not dating anyone,
there's nothing happening over here! I'm not even ready for that kind of
thing anyway. So if anyone did come up to me and ask me out or something
like that, I'd have to decline. I'm mainly not ready for that kind of
thing because i have things to work out from my last relationship. Yes i
know that that was like a year ago, however the feelings of rejection
and hurt are still there so i need time to fully work through that and
realise that the only person that I need acceptance from is God....and I
already have that. Like i know it in my head, but it hasn't sank down
to my heart yet. Once i fully realise what kind of a person that God
sees me as, that will biuld up my self confidence (which does have a
tendency to be lacking), and then I'll be ready for that kind of
relationship. Plus, all in all, I know God's got a guy picked out for
me...somewhere. I'm just going to have to trust Him with it :)

Sunday
Today me, Jen, Michelle (George), and Spence went to Kawhia to do the
service there. Me and Jen gave our testimonies and Spence spoke on
Jer.29:10-14 (which was really good). We also spent a couple of hours on the
beach with a family from the church. The beach was pretty good because
the tide was going out and when you dug a little bit in the sand there
was hot water coming up. We probably would have stayed longer however i
had music practice for Fellowship tonight. So ya i got back and
practiced the melody line to the two songs that i"m playin for (woohoo!! no
bass line for my alto tonight!!) and other than that I've been in the
computer room talking to David and e-mailing Adam back and forth. So my
day hasn't been too exciting. But I have excited/nervous for my playing
tonight. I haven't played a melody line here in like ages! I wish i
could play more however a sax can be kinda awkward with giutars and a
drums, it just doesn't seem to fit as nice as it would in a big band....you
know what i"m sayin? :)
