EZZYCUPCAKE: November 2013

If I could be a cartoon character, I would most probably be... Lizzie McGuire's cartoon. The reason would be because that character would just describe any day in my life. The times when something embarrassing happens to me, when I fangirl with my best friend about our crushes and just completely be a teenage (feeling) girly girl. My days would be filled with any day to day life situations. But mostly with awkward and embarrassing situations since my character would never know how to cope with those situations which would automatically make them funny. I wish to be a funny yet relatable cartoon character.

Regarding this situation, I'm still very annoyed. I haven't been sleeping well or enough the past days and I have no idea why. Well, I kinda have my theories, but I feel more comfortable not to share those with you :P Anyways, in February, it was a very packed month. They were filled with deadlines, EYC'13 plannings and meetings as well as YFL Missions. However, during the weekend of the EYC'13 Planning, I literally only had about 4hours of sleep from Friday to Sunday. However, my determination to finish writing my Seminarpaper and the determination to plan something awesome for the EYC kept me quite awake. It was a struggle since the worst feeling you can have is being extremely tired, yet you have to keep your brain intact and your eyes open. Through the help of the Holy Spirit I managed to not be as grumpy and mean as usual when I lack sleep. However, towards the end of the planning, I indeed ended up acting like a 4 year old child and also ended up sick. Yet, everything was worth it. I wrote a 'B' on that Seminarpaper and you guys saw the result of this year's European Youth Congress in Vienna.

My worst habit... would probably be procrastinating A LOT and complaining. Ugh, even now I can facepalm myself for being so lazy. And yes, I figured that no one really can keep up with a complainer for a longer period. Hence, I have tried to change my attitude about things that don't work out right away. Instead of complaining I have tried to be more of a do-er instead of a dumpling-er - yes, I just quoted New Girl. But back to the procrastination: yes, it did get me to the very wrong situations. For instance procrastinating to study for exams. Constant struggle and such a hard habit to break. So... I guess I ought to start studying, right?

GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!

Ever since the EYC'13 it was hard keeping up with the YFLs in Salzburg since everyone started getting busy with school, uni and work. However, Kennet and I managed to visit them for a weekend. It is always a great feeling to be in Salzburg. The fresh is air, the town of The Sound of Music is always beautiful and the people are just always welcoming. We never need to worry about starving because the Titas always serve the best food, and a lot of that.

Besides the food miracle here, seeing how well the Youths grow here is amazing. It's been a long time since we've seen them but they are still on fire. Despite all the obstacles and struggles they face, the never seize to keep their faith and see the Lord in each others eyes. They have a great bond and fellowship with each other just because they know who should be the center in their lives. I enjoy being here because I learn a lot from them as well. Missions are always great. They open your eyes to the most simple but most important things in your life. It is great hearing all their sharings and it is inspiring too because each one of them is so unique. I felt really humbled about a sister who I haven't met before up until the Household who reached out to me because of her struggles. I think it's a beautiful experience to just see the youths grow in trust with you. Of course, that challenges me to be accountable but with the outcome and the visions I have for this area, I am more than willing to continuously live a proper and exemplary life.
