Take a break!

I just read the Bible right before I type this post. I was reading Acts chapter six and felt 'something' when I read the fourth verse.
Acts 6:4 And will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.
I believe that this 'something' is from God.
As I have shared in my very first post, I'm currently waiting for my age to be 16 (I'll be 16 this December) in order to be accepted in the college I'm entering. This means that I still have about another six months to spend with absolutely nothing.
First, I was wondering what I should do. My mom offered me keep continuing my high school, but I refused it because it would be a waste of money since my grades later won't really affect anything to this college thingie. I asked my mom if I could work as a private tutor for primary students and mom said I can't! Because one of mom's friend works as a tutor too and mom doesn't want me to be her friends competitor or something. Seriously, I was really upset and hopeless.
I asked my dad kinds of activites which can fill my long holiday. Dad said that I'd better make a research! I was like "whaaatt? A research!!??" Actually, I am quite interested with researches but I don't think mom would agree with dad's idea. I guess dad has a preception that I'm talented in Chemistry because of my last report card. Hahaha
I got more and more upset with this lousy break and told everything to God about my feelings. I also prayed that God can lead me to proper activities. Not long after I prayed, my friend asked me if I wanted to be a worship leader in a youth convention. And I said yes! Of course! To be honest, I was informed by him A WEEK before the convention. However, nothing is impossible to God! Thank God, I could do it well. I know that God will never put His children into shame!
That time, I was also wondering if the institution which held the convention also give training to youths to preach (I really want to be a preacher). They said that they had one but it would be held next year --"
Seriously, I do not want to rot at home watching TV, eating, sitting on the couch and being not productive then start being fat. So, I spend everyday except Sunday in the gym in the nearest mall. They also offer free saunas in which I can turn into my private gospel studio whenever I'm in it alone (I really love to sing and my little sister is a gospel singer).
It was such a surprise to be informed by my parents that I would go to Auckland, New Zealand, this August! I am so glad! Really! My mom said that we will also have a ministry there and I have to work out more on my guitar. I am so happy that I finally have something to do!
Time goes by, I was chosen to be a worship leader AGAIN by the institution that my friend introduced me to! I'll be doing it next week on Friday and Sunday. Please kindly pray for me!
Next, one of my cousins will be having his first birthday this August. My aunt and uncle asked my mom to help them with holy mass that they'll hold for my cousin's birthday. My mom is also considering me to be some kind of MC or worship leader in the activity!
I'm just so glad that I can at least have activities for these two months! Plus, these activities are not ordinary activities. They are actually ministries that enable to serve others, improve myself and increase my faith in Christ!
I guess the reason why God let me have this very long break is to get to know Him better and learn how to serve Him and others. Amen!
