Anyways, today there was Team Time Tuesday, which is a time that my church's youth group gets together and plays some kind of sport. I;m the one who plans what game is what etc. with lots of help from the other YG leaders. Today was...dundundundunnn...CAPTURE THE FLAG. It was supposed to be epic. But of course when I plan something epic, I end up having to substitute rules and materials etc...and it ends up being...insignificant. The first game went okay, but by the second round, it was a stalemate. Darn. These things just never live up to my expectations. So that basically ruined my mood for the day as a lot of the rules I set up in the beginning were NOT followed. Honestly, I don't like rules, but to make a game a game...there must be rules.
At home, I decided that I didn't get to run around enough (little did I know how tired I actually was) so I wanted to go out and run. Running at night is probably my favorite venting pastime. But after the first few times I was able to sneak out, my father got angry...so now he never lets me go. The only way to is to have him follow me in a car. So by the time I got home I was already fuming...so I kinda exploded a bomb on my father. So I just ran out of the house...and I tired quickly because I was angry. Here is an important announcement: running when you're angry kills you...you literally get tired in like...5 minutes. So I pretend I didn't go running and I go back in telling my dad to hurry up and finish his movie. He was pretty mad that I was rushing him. Because I got so tired from running, I end up riding my bike to the neighborhood park.
As I rode my bike to the park following behind my dad in the car, I looked around and enjoyed the night's breeze. It's been pretty cool this summer. Looking up at the dark sky, I saw the big moon which was wonderfully large and yellow. It also seemed pretty close. Instead of wanting to vent ride, I decided to stop at the park and relayed that to my father. He was pretty confused when I told him that I wanted to stop at the park. Nevertheless, we did stop. I ran to the top of the slide and just watched the moon. It's kind of silly now that I think about it. My father had to coax me down to the little bouncy seat thing. We talked and talked. I basically just ranted to him. Another piece of advice: ranting in the breezy night air when the full moon is out is SO helpful. Thankfully I was able to clear the air with him. He was very understanding. It was just so gratifying to be able to enjoy that scene. Can you imagine? It looked like this, except a little bit bigger and yellower.
Now about that book I've been reading. The BIBLE. Whoo! Yeah, so I've been trying to follow this 90 day Bible reading plan, but it's been hard so I'm super behind. But from a little while ago, I wanted to talk about the book of Psalms. It is a book that is filled with expressions of Christians' (and at that time Israelis') faith. My favorite Psalm is in chapter 119. It's very long (longest Psalm and chapter in Bible) and divided up into 22 sections. So maybe that's why I like it so much. It's basically got everything you could have. It would make the perfect prayer! My favorite verses in it are probably in the 5th stanza, He. I love to use this part as a prayer. Especially because it asks that God would TEACH me His decrees...DIRECT me in the path of His commands, etc. It's just very humbling to me. Okay. Thanks for reading this if you have. I love ya'll. And if you have time, read the longest chapter in the Bible! :)
Ciao,
