A day in the life of Mylene and Jase

ok... tonight... me and the youth leaders from our youth group are going to have an open forum with the girl (churchmate) who had been ignoring me... i just found out that her co-leaders in the youth group... nino, ian and john have probs with her too... so the youth adviser decided to have a meeting tonight... an open forum... to let her know that hey, she's doing something wrong...

so i prayed about it... i don't want to speak out of irritation or anger... and not to make myself sound like a better person or something... i also talked to the guys (ian,nino and john) to be careful what they say to her... i don't want her to think we're ganging up on her... so... here's hoping things will work out... coz we are all leaders in the youth group... and we're supposed to be a team

later maybe

Praisey · 12-18-2002, 01:11 AM

whoops... i've been bad in keeping up with this journal... sowwy

... anyways... things did work out... she's not ignoring me anymore... and actually said some nice things about me and even thanked me for all that she learned from me... that's a shocker

... BUT she's not exactly friendly either... i think she's still got some issues... and she will deal with it on her own...

anyways...

have you ever experienced having doubts in your relationship and just when you've said... oh Lord give me something to hold on to... He does!! hehee praise God for His grace and patience with me

God is sooo good... i can never say that enough... and i think i say it more when i'm in a valley experience... not that i always want to be there...

but you know what i mean... it's when you're experiencing tough times that you feel God and His love the most...

I LOVE MY LORD SO MUCH!!!

anyways... might come back with more of my goofiness.. hehe

hey haven't heard form you in 10 or so days now...

anything new? have a good Christmas?

Praisey · 12-28-2002, 03:30 AM

hey you! wb! how was the mission trip??? or should i check out your blog? hehehe

christmas season is always hectic... i did a lot of last minute shopping for nieces and nephews and friends... and asked my eldest niece to help me wrap them all up...

then i cooked a mean spaghetti

the little kids (nephews and nieces) loved it!!!!

then received a lot of gifts from friends in church... and money too!

so... anyways... lol... tell me about your christmas

GMartin2R · 12-28-2002, 03:44 AM

actually, check my website would be best for info on my trip... i posted 25 of the 27 pics i took there and i did a much longer writeup on it. just go to the pages called "my life in a nutshell" and photo gallery page 3-4

but christmas was good. nothing surprising or unusual about it other than running into a few people iknow from college at the christmas eve service. it's funny, dad told my aunt that i was incredibly easy to shop for and considering what she got me i agree. a 12 pac of dew and i'm in good shape... that's all of maybe $4 max. lol... but i got other things that will be neat too. including a gas card, which is nice cause i drive to classes in the mornings and it's about an hour drive there and another hour back. so free gas is a great thing. lol well i better hit the sac... or at least head that way...

Praisey · 12-29-2002, 06:48 AM

just a few more days and it's a new year... sigh... will it ever end hehe

well... maybe i should post this to the reasons to smile thread... but... i opted to just type it here in my blog...

last night... me and honey cutie had a misunderstanding (actually just on my part hehe

) and i was miserable and he was too of course... something about me being so impatient about getting married hehehe

now don't you dare laugh

and i realized... men are about planning after the marriage... y'know about money and house and insurance and all that!!!

and i am just eager about getting married and honeymoon...

so yeah... i have to admit... men are the more responsible one hehe

so anyways... tonight... we kiss and made up!!!!

and i understand him more... and admitted that i was being a cry baby brat

and he was such a sweet honey... understanding and letting me know that i'm not being a brat... just his baby

so anyways... i'm gonna head home... and try to dissolve all the food i ate... goodness gracious i ate tons!!!!

and this coming new year... just what the sermon was this Sunday Worship Service... believe that God is good all the time.. and obey Him one day at a time

it's the first day of the New Year for me... and phew... i got through the New Year's eve party last night at my brother's place... i ate plenty again... hehehe

... and my schemy niece decided to add my name to the list of females to sing in the Videoke part of the party (and there's a price) and i shouted NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to my brother... because i knew i'd win hehehe... kidding

as usual... my dad is his usual grumpy self last night...

but we (my dad and my brothers) are used to do that already... we stayed for the night... and went home this morning.

a new year... 2003... when oh when is the Lord returning... sometimes i really long for home (heaven) and well... what to do but wait patiently and persevere... why is waiting always hard?

anyways... looking forward to this new year... i pray that i'll be a better daughter for God... and that by His grace will obey Him one day at a time

these past 3 days has been kinda hard... although i'm not the one affected directly... well ok... let me start at the beginning...

last thursday night... i found out that a friend of mine's mom is in the hospital and comatosed... she was rushed wednesday early morning to a different hospital coz the previous hospital she was in was soooo inept... even the doctors were inept... you see... she was confined there and they (the doctors) thought she had pneumonia... so she gave them this medicine for pneumonia which has a very bad effect on a person with a brain disease (which at that time they didn't know)... so i think after a few hours... she went into a coma and was transferred...

now as i'm writing this... she's out of the ICU... but not because she's woken up... but because the doctors gave up on her... they found out in a cat scan that she has a tumor in her brain that caused the coma... and well... they're just waiting for her heart to stop beating

last sunday... i was the one who led in the worship... we (the Music team) and Ian (my friend) was there... and the last stage of the service our pastor called him and asked him to update the church on what was happening... and so he told us... and i was trying so hard not to cry coz it affects my voice so much and i still have to sing one last song (hehehe this is kinda funny when i think back on this)... but after singing the last song... i came up to him and hugged him and he cried sooooo hard... and that's when i cried too

and in this morning's quiet time... as i was talking to the Lord... i realized some things... how there are a lot of things that goes on in our lives that we are so clueless about... but in the middle of the storms of life... God is constant.. reliable... trustworthy... because well... He is God! and because He is God...He is absolutely in control of our lives... there isn't a thing that happens in our lives that He knows nothing about... and more so... He's actively involved in our lives... to will and to act... according to His good purpose.... knowing that He is in control of every little thing that happens in us gives me great comfort... knowing that He desires the best for us... knowing that He has chosen us to reveal His glory to the world... humbles me...

what are we but just clay in His hands... jars of clay... so breakable... so weak... so vulnerable... but He has chosen us to reveal His awesome glory to the world... sigh

and because of this morning's quiet time... i'm ok...and i know Ian's gonna be ok... and his family's gonna be ok... and his mom's gonna be ok... because there is God... because He is I AM

Praisey · 01-25-2003, 02:27 AM

i don't know what is up with me or him!!!!!!! grrrrrrrr!!!!!! somehow we just didn't understand each other... goodness gracious... why are men so dense sometimes!!!!!???????

cries... relationships can be hard... but why do you hold on... because you love him... and because you know... that if not for the Lord working in this relationship it's tantamount to nothing...

i hate myself for being so sensitive sometimes... and i hate it that he doesn't understand that when i'm like that it shows that i really really do love him... why is it that when i'm upset he automatically thinks i love him less!!!!!!!!!!???????

sometimes i just need to be with him... and he needs me to listen... so i listen... but... sometimes... sometimes i feel so taken for granted... like i'm just there as his sounding board and not his girlfriend...

cries... i hate this day

Praisey · 01-25-2003, 03:14 AM

i'm sorry about that... i don't hate this day...

why do ppl desire relationships... when i think it's the hardest thing in the world... oh yeah... i know... God designed us for relationship... especially with Him...

ups and downs... like rollercoasters... it's making me dizzy!!!!!

i grumble a lot huh... yeah... coz i'm a girl... got a prob with that?

i love him... so much... but sometimes... he's a lot like a man!!!!!!

but hey... at least i know he's a man... and not like keanu reeves... oh why did my mind went there?

sigh... ok... i'm gonna go... and try to have a sound mind and a praiseful heart for Music practice tonight...

Lord, make my heart right before You... use me as a vessel ...

i'm gonna lead worship tomorrow... and this happened... boohoo... gosh i'm a dumdum
