I'm back and still going!

On the weekend I went away with NCS (Newcastle Christian Students) - on the "getting to know you" camp ("Bond 007") - where we basically got to know each other better! Had a couple of great talks on the incarnation (why Jesus had to be both 100% God and 100% man at the same time) and studies in small groups - it was awesome just to get to know new people, get to know "not-new" people better and meet 100 other people that God has worked so wonderfully in!

Other highlights of the weekend - staying up to 1:30 every night playing 500, winning a game on open misere (with a dodgy hand) at 1:15 in the morning, the phosphorescent lake, playing Go with proper stones... hehe so good

Of course this meant that I had to do all PBL on sunday night and monday (thankfully my tute is only at 3:30) which meant a tired little girl collapsed into bed last night and slept in today :)

tomorrow is a day off!! YAY! (day off = study all day and hopefully finish pbl tomorrow)

-- Now playing: Rejoice - Garage Hymnal

And we rejoice for we hold our hope in the
promise of the Lord
We rejoice in Jesus Christ our Saving King
So raise your voice
To the Lord who is good
to those who hold Him dear
Hallelujah

** i'd like to point out from these lyrics : context : God is good to EVERYONE - the sun rises on everyone in the world. the rain falls. even people who don't think that God exists are still alive. but if you are one that "holds God dear", he is GOOD - he sent Jesus to die for you so that your sins could be forgiven, he's adopted you as his child and you can call him Father, you are looking to an eternity in heaven with him, you have meaning and hope in life - God has been and continues to be GOOD to you (so let's not forget it or take it for granted)! - so, in his mercy, God is good to everyone, but GOOD to those who hold him dear!
