So! Update on the Locker Post-It Ministry.
So EVERYBODY thinks I'm the person who put the post-its up. Like, everybody. And I'm a good actor. I walked in surprised to see the post-its this morning and Stephanie Cerrone who was standing by my locker said "Oh Janell, I thought it was you but I guess not." Then this girl named Lee-Ann (don't know if that's not how you spell it) is literally telling me I did it. She wouldn't here that it was anyone else but me. She was like "How come I didn't get two on my locker, some people got two." And Steph. like how it wasn't me 'cause I just walked in, Lee-Ann said I could have come at like 6:00 in the morning. And they were just going back and forth speculating about how I could have done it. Even though I definitely denied it.
And that was just the beginning. To recount what everyone said to me would be a super long journal entry, but I'm going to do it anyway because I know I am going to thoroughly appreciate it later. So!:
Jessica D. asked me in the library if it was me. I said no. Then I expressed that I have post-its like them but it that wasn't me. That answer satified her.
Bello came into the library later and asked if I was behind the post-its. I said, "No, why does everybody keep thinking that?" Frank was around and he said "It sounds very you." lol!
Melissa M. asked me in Spanish. Again, I denied it. Then later on, Michelle B. asked and Mac was like, "Yeah I just asked her" and there was another tangent in Spanish class (Paolo calculated a total of 12 and 1/2. Don't know where he got the 1/2 from). Anisha told Brittany Frederick I'd said I did it. Brittany didn't think so. Anisha asked me and I denied it once again. Mac asked me later on if I knew who did it and I said I didn't.
Next time the post-its were brought up was two periods later (5th period). So we had a brief assembly with Ms. Faulkner in the auditorium about how people are being nasty in the bathroom. Made a point of how first of all, eating in the bathroom is nasty. But the assembly was about people being leaving their trash behind in the bathroom. Paper towels, chip bags in the sink. Yada. Aaaaanyway, as I'm leaving the auditorium, Molina asks me if it was me who did the post-its. Shannon and I believe Steph. Cerrone piggy back her. I deny it and what do they say? "Yes you did!" Then I'm parting from them 'cause my destination is the Vanguard room and theirs is the cafeteria and Sandra, Christina Ellison, Rebecca Brewington and I think (not too sure) Chenel Bennett ask if it was me. I deny it and they tell me that I did it. I gave up and was like "Alright then it was me. It's not a bad thing to be accused of, so I'm just gonna take it." lol, amazing!
As I'm walking to gym later on, I see Danny C. and Amy Spata (I believe they were the only two, there might have been others) wearing the post-its. Wearing them! I mean, I had meant for the post-its to be for the individual whose locker it was on, but hey, who knows what everyone got out of them? I hope they meant something for at least some. Ooo, I forgot to mention. Earlier, the same period I was in the library, I went to my locker to get A Streetcar Named Desire for English class. I saw Adrian Camino reading the post-its. He commented, not knowing I am the person behind the post-its, "How come they get post-its? I want one on my locker." I was flattered. It's cool. I just hope that people don't take things out of hand. Like, with the sticking post-its to bodies and switching post-its on different lockers (the one that was on my locker was not the one I put there. I put the messed up post-it on mine; somebody had it on there's. But the message is what important right?). In and of themselves, there's nothing wrong with those actions, but if somebody wants to keep there post-it, I don't want somebody else infringing upon that right. The message being spread in too important. So God, please be in this ministry, this evangelism. May those who need to hear hear the right words from YOU, not me Lord. Do YOUR work in me. And help me God, I cannot do this on my own. But I am willing. If it is Your will, please send physical help so that the task is less humongous. I want every single person in the building to hear about You Lord. Make it so God, make it so. Amen.
I'm passing Chanay on the way to gym class and she's like "Did you do the post-its? It's okay, you can tell me." I deny it once more. Bello sees me later on and is like "Are you owning up to your evangelism yet?"
My response?
"Oh my gosh, it wasn't me!"
Jasmine was quite funny. She hugs me and is like "I love what you did." I'm like "What?" (I knew full well what she was talking about. How could I not with everyone coming up to me?) She goes, "The post-its." I'm like "It wasn't me."
Jasmine: *gasp* It wasn't you?
Me: No.
Jasmine: Oh my gosh, there's someone else like you in this school? It wasn't you?
Me: It wasn't me.
*big grin*
Jasmine: You're lying.
Me: No I'm not, I'll see you later!
I went to Mr. Fel today to ask him about me denying it. Well, before I get into that, let me tell you why all this denying is going on.
1) Things are cooler when they are mysterious and things are mysterious when people are anonymous.
2) I already like attention. I don't need more direct attention. I'm getting it anyway though -_-'
a. God needs to get the glory, not me.
b. God honors those who do things in secret; not to be heard or seen or recognized
3) I feel that it means more when it comes from a person you do not know. The though is Wow, this person took the time out to do this and he or she doesn't even know me. The message just means more I think.
So those are my reasonings. And I told Fel. He likes the whole post-it idea. He was saying to be undercover for a few days, but when he realized that people were coming to me asking me if I had been the one to do the post-its it said I might as well just accept it. I mean, I felt bad telling all those people it wasn't be. I just kept thinking about how God doesn't like lies. I dunno, we'll see what happens tomorrow. Maybe I won't feel so guilty x) He wants me to update him on what goes on. So we'll see what happens x)
Whoooh! Done! xD Hopefully more will follow tomorrow =D. We shall see :)
Thank you Jesus for blessing me with this ministry! I LOVE YOU!!! <3
