good friday

today was the first day the sun showed itself for more than 5 mins...literally. which is funny since it's good friday...when the sun should refuse to shine...

speaking of which, we attended the good friday service here at wesley methodist church in governors harbour. wooden benches, light blue walls, electric fans..reminded me a lot of the philippines. the most meaningful part of the whole service was when a woman got up and gave a solo...her voice - the strength, the ease with which she sang - she made you experience the pain Jesus felt. and although i don't dwell on the atonement part that much, this song put me in a place of deep humility - where i could forget myself and just be blessed by God. it was a very moving song.

we were also able to get out to the beach...well sorta. we couldn't find any piece of water that had sand..just rocks, so we laid out on rocks for about two hours. a bit uncomfortable, but to see the bluest sky with even more blue water...oh it was so clear! my mom would have flipped out.

which reminds me, i really miss my family. like too much in some moments..but they know that i love them and im thinking of them constantly.

anyway, all in all, for all different reasons...this was a good friday.
