You've Got Mail...

Recently an ACES member sent out a mass email to the ACES members regarding their upcoming Weekend Away. For those of you who don't know, ACES is a smallgroup (like Bible Study/Care Group type) that I am part of in Sydney Uni. It is under the Evangelical Union, a christian society in the relevant uni.

So anyways, there must have been some bug or another in his account because one day I opened up my uni mail and before me sat 54 pages of mail. At first glance, I was like....you've got to be kidding me......

Diligently I counted them and deleted them. All from the same person, all containing the same 4kb message. 1042 mails @ 9.50am, 24/4/2k4. Upon deletion, I continued to recieve more. It was sometime Sunday, I believe, that this relentless flood of mail began to wane. Again I numbered and tossed, and here is the final number:

I recieved 1507 mails from the ACES dude.

I thought that was yet another shocking and humorous event gracing my insignificant life. Talk about your virtual Hiroshima . . . :p

Rotten Core...

There's this song by Jars Of Clay called "The Eleventh Hour". It's first line reads:

"Trace the shape of my heart, till it becomes more familiar to Your eyes"

Reading on the rest of the song, it is apparent that this song is a sorrowful cry to God, to bring the author back to Him. When I first listened to the song, I misheard the lyrics. However, if I change the first line a little bit, it will encompass all that I am feeling at this very moment.

Change the shape of my heart
Till I become more familiar to Your eyes
I've been lost without You, cold without Your love
It's taken days and nights for me to realise...

Rescue me from waiting on this line
I won't give up on giving You a chance to blow my mind
Let the eleventh hour quickly pass me by
I'll find You when I think Im out of time...

Take the place of my heart
Till I become, a stranger to my life
I've been down without You, wrong without Your love
In time will I be what You're thinking of?

* sweat *

Can you feel the pressure? Pounding Pursuing Perpetrating my Paranoia.

God will take control.
God will make it happen.

Its all good.
Im cool ... Im cool ...

I feel like a brute, smashing in the head of my chocolate easter bunny.... :(

Easter, Come and Gone...

Hullo. Back from my church's massive Easter House Party (camp). It involved 5 different churches totalling to about 700 odd people. It was massive. But very well organised. I got to know some people better and got to know the book of Zechariah a little better (although i still cant spell it properly...!@%??) I had a really great time and, like most church camps I've attaended, I've come away resolving to come closer to God, to make time for Him. We went to Meroo, not quite the middle of nowhere but the camp grounds was sooo huge. Yea one day I took a walk by myself in one of those crazy walky-trail thingos and just lost myself in the quietness of the surroundings. I forgot how nice it was to just enjoy the peace and quiet of simple things. I guess uni has been abit hectic for me lately and even though Im enjoying it tremendously, it meant sacrifice on my part in other areas. One being the luxury of being still. The other the impertinence of disrespecting and neglecting God. I will try to remember to take some time off to just do nothing every once in awhile.

Btw; I do apologise. Last week, I learnt that Staph actually means "grapes" in Greek, thus clusters. "Chains" is actually Strep. In actual fact, I should change Staphomosapiens to Strephomosapiens. Please take note. My bad.

Otherwise, nothing much in my life. Assignments. Sigh.

Jesus' Blood...

Jesus' blood never failed me yet
Never failed me yet
Jesus' blood has never failed me yet
This one thing I know that He loves me so...

Iocus Divinus...

April Fool's Day today and God played a big joke on me yesterday.

What happened was, 30th of March was my uncle's birthday. So being the 11th hour person that I am (or 13th hour) I went to the store to get him a card yesterday. As I was browsing, lo and behold, I saw a card that had a photograph printed on it. And what should it be but a place in Penang!!!! Yes, I kid you not. When Tet and I went to Penang for holiday, we kept passing this little cobbler called Hong Kong Shoe Shop. And I really liked the way it looked, and so I spent many days waiting for the perfect moment to take a picture of it (I finally took it 2 1/2 days later). ANd then I see the same image printed on a card, a card printed in Australia...sitting in my university's stationary shop!!!!!!!!!!!! Im like..... WOT!?????? @#$%^&%$!!!!!????????? So I bought the card (stupid thing cost $4) and yea, when I develop the picture, Im gonna show this to everyone. Or like anyone who asks nicely. Haha. So if you've read this and you want to see the joke God played on me, dont hesistate to ask.

I've always thought that God had a sense of humour. Just some of the things that happen to me makes me think of Him slapping His divine thigh, roaring at my absolute surprise. And thats the thing that makes jokes and stuff funny right. The element of surprise. God never fails to surprise me!!! Hahahaha.

But yea, just the fact that humour and wit and stuff are a part of everyday life and something quite admirable tells you that it is a good thing which God has. Because we were made in the image and likeness of God. I really thank God for humour and laughter. I really cannot see how life could ever be manageable without it. So yea, don't take it for granted man! Its a God given gift. :)

ps: Happy Belated 21st sis!! Love yew! :)
