Ugh it feels so long since I've posted on here. Kind of like a week, oh wait that'd be because it's been a week. So much has happened in that week, Upward on Saturday, work, Relay for life, work and then church just for the weekend. And then a week of struggle, pain, shame just a lot of crap.
I guess I should start with Saturday, my team continues to surprise me it's pretty much amazing how cool those kids are. David, Josh, Jeovany, Wyatt, Charlie, Eduardo, Alvaro, AJ, and Ryan a some really amazing kids. After our game, during which I felt like I was about to pass out from overheating, Ryan helped me out during the late game that I was ref-ing. That kid is really amazing, defensively I think he's a genius, he's always always in the right place in the right time. David has improved so much as a soccer player, and is more and more actively participating in the games and practices; honestly it's a challenge with him sometimes, but he's truly a great kid. Heck in the first couple of weeks he was answering questions about God, in ways that I couldn't it was great... Jenny and I have figured out that practices work well when I lead the lesson portion and she leads the devotional, neither of us feel completely competent in our areas but we both go into it with a lot of prayer and it helps amazingly... I want to see if I can get David in on three different periods this weekend. He's played in one for a couple of weeks and two last week, so I want to see if I can get him in and playing for half of the game this time. Wyatt and Charlie work wonderfully together, and Eduardo and Alvaro are crazy on offense, Jeovany that kid is a soccer player, he may be built like a lineman but he is an amazing soccer player... I'm worried about AJ; he's good when he's showing up, but he hasn't been at a game in a few weeks and then hasn't been at practice and apparently hasn't been at his afterschool program either...
Work was alright, I mean it's work right, but I got to work with a lead who knew what they were doing, I hadn't closed with a lead like that in about 4 weeks, it was great, even though it took forever...
Relay for Life was great International Neighbors raised over $600 for Cancer research, I'm so glad. I was also glad to be able to participate, because my Great Uncle had passed away at 65 from Cancer, so I did 6.5 miles in his honor. I love that man Reverend Robert T. Appleby, and he loved us...

On Sunday I started my new position, well sort of, because that position isn't going to be official until this summer, Training Mentor, I started the newbie on her training which was prety darn cool... And on Monday I started as a CSO, Certified Sampling Officer; Robe and all...
Church was alright, I mean it wasn't great, I found some truth in what was said, but I didn't find myself being in the right place to find God on Sunday night.
Monday was crazy, I had school, then ran from school to work, from work to pick up some kids, then to soccer, then to the north side of town to drop off a kid, and down to the south side of town to pick up someone for Bible Study and back to the middle of town for Bible study, South again to drop someone off, and then finally home. But the rest of Monday was the impression that was really placed on me, I was fully under attack on Monday night. It got sooo bad, I ended up taking a walk at 1am, and ended up at Craig Hall, and then hung out with a friend, until 3am, and finally made it home around 4am... it was just not a good night... Tuesday night was much of the same, and it was another scary night... On Wednesday Jamba got a new menu board which was a really long close, it was kinda crazy, just that it took forever to do it... Working around people, I'm trying to clean the store while they're trying to fix the menu board, which looks nice. Really ya'll should check out the Forest Ave. Jamba from 2-9 tomorrow just for the menu board.
I finally had a night off last night, which was great because I was really tired from school, work and just everything, so Lian and I hung out after Ballroom, up until she had to be at school for her small group stuff, and I had to be at Augies for Large Group set-up... We learned a bit of West coast on Thursday in dance it was pretty much amazing. Large group was pretty good, so was dinner, next week I'm trying out Sweet Pineapple Tamales, hopefully they'll be great, because it totally looked like it was gonna be great, but I stuck with the pork... I think I'm gonna have one Beef, and one Pineapple. Ooh I love thursday night market...
Today was pretty much amazing. I went to class, then came home and relaxed for quite a bit before dinner with my parents, brother, sister, and a buddy Jarod who's birthday it was. Came home and watched the Sharks in game 5, steal one from the Stars. I gotta be honest after the 2nd period I was about ready to shave my face because it looked pretty hopeless, it was 2-0 after the first two. And the Sharks stormed back in the third with 2 goals and then an overtime goal by Joe Pavelski to take the game, now we trail by only one game in the series which is pretty great after being down 0-3. Game 6 is on Sunday at 6, which kind of sucks because church is right then too, and I've got friends coming with me on Sunday... Oh well church is outside so I'll be checking out the scores during the game, I know what's wrong with me, I'll be respectful and only sneak a check in the scores, plus it was described as more of a baptism and a bunch of worship music, rather than a full church service...
Alright well a coach and a ref needs rest, so I think I'm going to try and hit the sack, but knowing me I'll be up until at least 4am, man I just pray for this community tonight the sirens have been going off all night, and it is just a lot of activity.
Oh new baby in the family Marcus J. Appleby born on Monday 6 lbs. A new baby in the house my buddy resides Genevieve Hosanna Grace Lynch... Plus Shawn Aaron Wun is now a month old. Another praise of all these births is that these children were born into loving christian families. I'm so excited for John and Jo with the birth of their second child Marcus, Dan and Mischa with their second child Genevieve, and Aaron and Kimberley with the birth of their third child Shawn. I don't think I know anyone else who's prego, so I think I'm alright on birth announcements for right now, but if God is blessing another family with another child right now I hope that they welcome that child with open arms and an amazing amount of prayer...
