Ok, so I don't really have anything philosophical to write about today, but it's Valentine's Day and I wanted to write something. And yeah, I haven't put anything down in a while, but here it is!! :D
So yeah, I don't really have a Valentine except Emily Cooke(lol), but I know one day I will and then it'll be really great fun. :)
Last night I went to Winter Jam where I worked as a volunteer for the Holt International Sponsoring booth, the largest charity that gives money to help needy children and such around the globe. So many of those kids on the cards were adorable and I believe the whole night 120 or more children were sponsored!! God is amazing!! I was also able to meet Kim Deardorff, a professional Korean pianist who was adopted through Holt International during 1964!! Kim is an amazing person, very amiable, funny, kind and compassionate. During the end of "Act 1" he gave his testimony and they also pulled some footage of when he was getting adopted back in 1964 when he was a baby!! He was found in a trash can and soon after that he was adopted by an American couple who brought he and his older sister to the United States. He was absolutely adorable and it really really inspired a lot of people to come and help the other children that are in need. Now, I really really want to bring up the Holt opportunity to the SHINE kids and have us put together some money to sponsor one or two children. That would be pretty amazing.
Besides having a headache, a slight sore throat and kinda falling asleep driving back, I had a great time and hopefully next year I'll perhaps be able to attend again. Maybe not as a volunteer since I didn't really get to see the actual show( Hawk Nelson, Brandan Heath, Newsong, TOBYMAC!!!!!!!!!♥) but I think even volunteering will be ok. It wasn't nearly as bad or challenging as I thought it would be.
Well, back to the subject of Valentine's Day.... I hope everybody has a wonderful "I love you" day and you'll cherish all of these moments for years to come. As for me, I can't wait to buy all the on-sale chocolate and candy tomorrow......hehehe. :D
Spread Love like Violence. ;)
