Entry: 4th week of uni.. Friday, March 14, 2008



gosh i can't believe it..the 4th week of uni has gone by. 2day we r soo blessed with xtremely blue blue sky n warm weather. great 2 c the sun n blue sky again..thank u Lord. :)

hmm. i dun think anything drastic happened like last week again.. aside from me learning to clean the toilet for the 1st time last sat! gosh..really learning experience. n flatmates mom came to visit and we had good food..relatively good compared 2 wat we usually have. ahha. really made me miss home actually,

OCF we had easter focus 2nite. this is our last meeting b4 easter break as next fri is good fri so we'll take that week off. we had the uno chaplain to share easter with us. what it really means n culturally..hot cross buns etc. it was good...tho bit hard 2 understand at 1st. n even tho i tot that no were gonna b low 2nite. God brought ppl 2 us. like over 15ish?? close to 20? it seemed like a big no. n it wasn't usual ocf old members. it was the new ones that came. that was really encouraging. n VAL came down from welly!! so great 2 c her. n worship wasn't a disaster like i tot it would b. i had been practising with lyv for 2 days n i was a bit stressed out. cos i can't sing for once. i lack confidence n i go out of tune n i actually sing mono-tunely. like a single tone. but ppl actually sang along with me so that was good hehe. it is 2 God we r singing praises to. we sang" worthy is the lamb, once again, you are my all in all". love those songs. N we even spontaneously went to HOly name to look at the cross stations on the walls? diff pic depicting the episodes leading to the cross. so a group of ppl went to church. ahha. with Greg explaining the sequence of events.

n 2day in class i actually managed 2 talk 2 a muslim fren bout easter. like wat val prayed for us. that we might have opportunities to share about easter with ppl. not long ones, even short ones r good enufff. n it actually came true! it's soo...wow.it's short tho cos it was in btwn classes. i actually told her that easter is bcoz of Jesus's death.. n she actually asked me what do christians do on Good fRIDAY. n ya Nick said there are special church services. n it can b for ppl 2 just take time out and reflect. tho we do remember Christ's death most of the time and wat He's done for us. so ya..prayer does come true..

sharon n i r planning to get 2gether everyweekend 2 just pray 2gether for our flatmates n for other things. n last sun was the 1st time we did it. n it's great 2 just support each other in prayer. after OCF we also talk bit n prayed 2 gether. it's a nice time 2 just listen to each other's concerns n feelings n lift it up 2 God. talking bout the nite, the upcoming camp, upcoming events...etc..

gosh i realised there r so many camps coming up. OCF/VCF combined camp on 4-6 april. Med CF camp on end of may?? n TSCF conference on end of June. ,my gosh..3 camps in 1 sem...I think OCF no r gonna b small cos heaps of ppl just can't go or have other commitments. so basicaly sharon has 2 turn up. n if she goes i can't not go. really wanna go for med CF camp n tscf conference!! highlights of the year!!

2mmrw MED CF r gonna have a BBQ at a doc's hse. with heaps of doc's and clinical students! gonna b a great opportunity 2 talk 2 them n ask for advice!

n gotta study for 2 tests nxt week..trying 2 get it done b4 easter break..

n pray pray for my fren who's going to surgery on 26/3. pray for good surgeon n strength...for everything!!

n my flat is still like that. disorganised. power bill high for summer. sigh....

n heaps of ppl 2 catch up with during easter break. my mentee for starters, glavin n mae ann, other unicol ppl.....

hmm, that's all for now. gona sleep now...oh n watched a movie on mon!! my 1st movie back in NZ. the end of the spear! really heart warming true story of 5 missionaries who were killed when they were trying 2 reach out to the wadani tribe in ecuador ie share Jesus with them. n how their families forgave the tribe ppl who killed their husbands. eventually the son n the person who killed his father bcame like family. even tho he knew year's later who killed his dad. gosh it doesn't make sense eh?? go to www.endofthespear.co.nz n read the awesome event that happened!

n one scene that touched my heart was when the 8 year old son asked the dad

son:" DAD, if the wadani tribe attacks u then will u promise to defend urself with the gun?"

dad:" no son we can't fight back/harm/kill them bcoz they r not ready for heaven yet, but we are."

n the scene when the dad leaves the family n flies off...the son running after the plane n says softly "i love u dad"

oh man!! that was soo sad...

yepz..tht' kinda my week. haha. gttg sleeppppp snooze...........nitezz :)
