yesterday i tried to play basketball at this park by my house. every time i go to work and come back i find that i cannot shoot a basketball. then i spend the week before i go back to work playing basketball so i can regain my shooting. and it always comes back right before i leave again. then i have to do the whole thing over again... ehhhh.

| i hate my job but i love the money that i get... so i keep working. ehhh good thing this isnt a life job just for the summer. one of my friends told me to make sure i like what im doing and shes completely right. lol.
im missing the last 3 days of vbs and its really making me sad. i love doing vbs. i dont know if i love kids or if i love working with the youth group. whatever it is i love it. ive been thinking alot lately and for a while i thought maybe my calling was to become a youth pastor. then i was like id have to drop out of school and go to seminary and whatnot. i decided that thats not my calling not because im being selfish but because i feel that God is going to use me in another way. i think maybe either through praise or missions. there were a few incidents in my life that have prompted me to come to this point. here comes a long story...
so growing up in the church, i always looked up to the leaders of the youth group/praise team. when i finally was old enough to be part of the youth group i moved churches. that was ok with me after a little while cus i love everyone at my old church. so moving on... ive always wanted to be part of the praise team because it was my favorite act of worship. i loved all the songs, all the praise, and just all the amazingness that is part of praise. if you havent known me for long, let me tell you that i have no musical gifts because although i played piano for years as a child, i hated it so much that i forgot everything. also i never sang in choir or anything like that or even by myself. i didnt know how to play like 3 different instruments like every other korean kid. but i wanted to do praise. so as i got into high school, my pastor asked my sophomore year if id like to join. i was excited but i didnt know how to play anything. i started out on bass because that was not extremely hard or difficult to learn. one of my friends, albert, at my church was learning guitar while i was learning bass and for some odd reason we ended up switching instruments. so as the years went on i went on to singing while i was playing guitar(which was not very easy for me at the time) and eventually i became a praise team leader. weird. i know. now im here in freer, tx on my summer internship after my first year of college and i realize that one of my few passions is praise. (others incude: God, basketball, friends, and family) im certain that God will use that some way as my life goes on. i know i skipped over alot of details... haha.
heres a picture of work today. err i guess tomorrow since im updating this today. haha.
so you see those big metal stand looking thingys with the legs? my job for the past 2 days and probably upcoming day and a half has been and will be painting those. its stupid. i have to coat each one with white primer. then i coat it again after it dries. then i paint it blue. then i paint a second coat of blue. then im done with one. there are like 8 of these things. i dont know if the picture describes it but theyre like freaking 30 feet long and 6 and a half feet tall(where the legs are). i have so much paint on my arms and hands that after i wash up after work and then take a shower im still covered in paint. heres another picture post washing:
just so you know how i feel. i hate paint now. lol.
