All I can say is that today was just like a dream and just so good that I dont think Im ever going to forget this day. I want to share you my day because I think I just have to tell you how it was and tell you how I felt. So, here it goes...
I arrived in church, greeting everybody, as I walked to the room where we praise God, finding a seat. We started with prasing God. Justin--who is my pastor--told us to love your enemies and pray for them. In my opinion, I think thats just impossible but I guess thats what God wants us to do. But I agree with one thing. Justin told us that our face is made similar to Gods face and that if we insult them, its like us insulting and spitting at God. We praised God for 1 hour and then like we planned, went to the soccer field behind Balboa Academy.
It wasnt so sunny, just perfect. We splitted into two groups and in my group were--Yohana, David, Jae Won(Jay Won, please dont pronounce the "J" "Y"), a teach at school,and Won and of course me. The deal was the losers to buy Ice-cream for the winners tomorrow(Sunday). My eyes cofused on the ball, and saw it coming towards my direction.
"Yeji, look!!!!!!!The ball is coming to you!!!!!!!!!!!" Yohana shouted warning me to kick it to the goal. I kicked it, and fail!!!!!!!!It past my feet. This kept on happening as if oil was in my shoes and our team was loosing. I saw no hope , no nothing but just that stupid team laughing for joy because they were winning. I was near other teams goal, praying for me to score at least one goal. The ball came to me like the speed of wind, and there I was, my legs flew up, kicking the ball to the goal.
" GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I heard my team shout giving me tons of high fives. But something that really surprised me was that the other team also said " Great Job" My heart felt warm, and proud of couse. I realized that the other team had a pure heart and wasnt all like " I've gotta win this!". The game went on, and there was one break and kept on going on and on and on. It was 14 : 13. And the game was up till 15 and we only scored 13. Hope started to faid, but I tried thinking positive . I knew that if a girl makes a goal, we get 2 points.
" Yeji!" I heard Won yelling, as I saw the ball coming towards me. He passed it to me and BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!I made a goal and it felt so good and proud because WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Everyone came uo to me, saying " I've improved a whole lot"I knew God helped me win and makes goals but most of all, I thank my wonderful friends we passed the ball to me even though I wasnt good.
We decided to play basketball next, and all I could do was just watch them play since my hand were still injured. They were amazing and way better than soccer. Basketball finished in 20 mintutes and we all went to Paitilla, Macdonalds for hamburgers and other stuffs. I ordered chicken hamburger and it tasted great!!I chatted with my friends, wishing so much I'd stay longer but people started leaving so I called Dad to pick me up. It was 7: 30 and yes, It was dark. Justin , the teacher, Yohana,Susana waited until Dad came and I said thank you and that today was awsome and they smiled:)
Im writing this S.O.L kinda late but I just loved today so much !!!!!!!!1The people, were nice to me and still loved me no matter how bad I was in soccer and cared about me so much like my family. I love my youth group friends in church and want to bless them with all my heart:)
What an inspirational post! I am glad that you finally had a great weekend. I will pray that all of your weekends are as wonderful.
