Prayer&Fasting

So from Monday-Friday of this week there'll be prayer&fasting at church from 8pm-whenever.
I didn't go last night but I went tonight, & I was glad I did. I know that the purpose of the prayer&fasting is not for any reason of self, but I was just blessed from the experience, knowing that God receives our worship& hears our prayers. The fasting part is supposed to be a kind of self-discipline of the body so that our spirit overcomes our flesh- the part that makes one hungry. It's my first night of fasting this week so I guess it's normal to feel a bit hungry.

I know that we are praying& fasting for a purpose, to gear up and prepare for something big that is about to come. To gear up for battle, this spiritual battle just beyond the horizon. And as I'm writing this, the song "Battlecry" comes to mind. The more I listen to that song, the more I understand it. The first thing that caught my attention was of course the amazing drumming in the song, but beyond that, is the message, of being on the frontlines of a spiritual battle and calling out a warcry, a battlecry. I know everyone has their own personal battles, but I also believe that there are corporate battles that churches/ministries face. And I believe that it requires personal as well as corporate prayer& fasting in order to succeed.

Thank You Lord, Thank You for Your amazing promises, promises of healing, promises of provision, promises of guidance, promises of blessing, and even promises of discipline when necessary. Thank You Lord because You are, INDEED, Good.

SORE.

I haven't felt this sore since the crazy condition drills in football wayy back in september -_-
I just woke up like an hour ago, so I don't think I'll be sleeping in awhile.
Went to the Cabrillo beach today! or technically yesterday, since it's past 12am, whatever.
Twas' funn! Estabillos, Garratons, Libramontes(Manny), Pangans, Cruzes, Dj, & ate marrisa was there!
Got there before 10am while everyone else got there earlier.
The lil kids were just running around and playing with sand the whole time lol.
Baby seth looked so G with his "beach" outfit, hehe
Basically what happened was:
We grilled, ate, played with sand, played volleyball(So sore I could hardly spike the ball), grilled& ate again, played with sand again, this time burying ronnie! ahah & then kuya sonny busted out with the guitar and we just started singing praise&worship songs, soon later the people next to where we set camp started singing too!
It was real foggy when we first got there but the sun came out hours later.
Thank God for whoever brought the sunscreen, I didn't feel like getting sunburned today lol.
Had to cut out the sleeves of my shirt cause' SOMEONE didn't want to let me wear his tanktop, *ahem DJ.
But whatevs, he was jealous of my sleeve headband soon after.
Stayed until 6ish, got home at like 7pm.
Knocked out in the car & just barely made it to my room, where I kept on waking up every hour until 11pm.
& there you have it!
My 1st official beach trip of the summer, lol.


Well I really should sleep soon, still gotta wake up early tomorow!

OH YEAH, & the Libramontes are finally coming back tom! but not in time for church =/
oh wells, we'll see em' sometime this week i'm sure of it!

PEACE.

Finally

So I finally got a gym membership @Bally Total Fitness.
Hope I start working soon so I can pay that $30/month, ahah.
Today was chillllll, woke up 11ish as usual.
Chatted with long-time-no-see glen, talked bout how he can sleep over after work& what not.
I wonder if he can get me hired at that chinese restaurant he works at, hmmmmm.
I can already imagine it, "Doo yu wan sum COK wid dat fly lie?!" lmao

Anyways, Rocky threw up his food today :/ weird, he seems fine now though.
I don't know why Dj was so scared of him, he's wayyy nicer than Hopey, ahah.

Well workouts starting tomorow! Gotta look good for Eunice's debut :D
