A Sunday unlike no other

Well, this Sunday sure is different. Actually manage to wake up by 9 so could get a lot of things settled before going to church. Also, came to church earlier than usual but still later than the regular malaysians (sigh...). Oh! Finally got the CDs I wanted too. It's been too long. Also, greatly encourage to see someone come back to church and to be among the jumpers. Felt sorry that David missed out on a great sermon though. Maybe I'll pay him a visit if I have time...

Well, right now I'm in the St. George IT lab clearing up some online stuff (since my own connection at home is slower than a tortoise) and then it's off to report land! See ya folks! Next week's gonna be busy, busy busy...

Twas the night for shouting loudly...

Shoutlouder was awesome! I picked up on a lot of points. First off, to continously have faith for He is God and there is nothing He cannot do. And, to put my full faith and trust in Him. And be motivated for Him everyday!!

Update time!

Well, this has been a quite good week. After getting charged up at 7th Day, I attack the week with vigour. Actually, spent most of my time working on my presentation. Not too bad if I say so myself. Considering I only started praticing my speech (which was off the top of my head) on Wednesday night, I'd say I did a very good job. In fact, my supervisor said that the only thing I missed out was a picture of my finished work. Next week is gonna be really hectic though. Finishing a 6000 word thesis while doing outreach week and studies (plus revision). All I can say is.... Bring It On! Romans 9:37 - No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

Also, Jeremiah 20:9 says

But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word
is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it
in; indeed, I cannnot.

Time to step out in faith!

P.S. Anyone know a good website to host photos for putting in blogs? Hard to put more than one picture per post right now...

7th Day

was brilliant!! Everything was superb from the cabin to the food, talks and view!

Here's a quick summary. Friday night, we were welcomed into The Jonas Centre with rain drenching down through the night. But Pastor Glyn's message that night more than made up for it (and the 45 pounds fee!).

The next day, the rain had let up though the sun wasn't really shining. Took a few pictures after breakfast before heading to the Barn for the sessions with Pastor Lou. Her messages were really inspiring and will be taken heed of. In a nutshell, she made us look at the ways to improve our lives and ways to follow those steps. After lunch, there were some activities but due to a lack of transportation (plus coming out late from lunch), I ended up spending the time playing a game of chess and watching Monsters Inc. Quite a good afternoon actually. Spent the evening taking somemore pictures, most of it sceneries.

Later that night was the talk by Chris. He basically talked about areas of our lives to constantly renew so we don't get stagnant. Awesome.

After that, we went out to the field for the barbecue. Due to the rain last night, most of the firewood was damp and that made lighting them up quite hard. In fact, it took quite some time before both the bonfire and barbecue was ready. By that time, the queue line was long!

Some of the worship teams went back that night as they have to perform the next morning in church. For the rest of us, it was sleep time! The last morning was uneventful. It basically consist of packing up and heading back to church to catch the second service.

All in all, the 7th Day was absolutely fantastic. I really felt recharged by it. And here are some pictures I took:

Audacious Night!

Brilliant! Tonight, I ushered people, collected money, counted money, miss the entire sermon, handed out leaflets, carried chairs, picked up garbage (ironic considering I have bags of rubbish which I haven't thrown back home) and had a wonderful time!

Longest fortnight ever...

...was the last 2 weeks (not counting this week). I'll get on to that later. Now, just so that everyone knows I'm still alive, I'm going to tell you what I have been up to. Let's see... playing the Easter Bunny on the 26th (that bunny was scary!), visiting Manchester on the 29th and do some culinary work yesterday. It's a new month and from what I see, it's gonna be a very busy month. Take care people!
