I'm so happy with my weekend....
365 Days of Love: Morning drive-a-round
Started my Saturday morning with another 365 Days of Love Act - Helping 2 girls by driving them to officeworks and Crazy Clarks to buy furniture and appliances for their stay in Brisbane. It was great getting to know them... one of them is Eliza's friend, Amy, who just came from Singapore/Malaysia to study in Brisbane.
It felt so great to be able to bless them in such a way... I remember when I first came to Brisbane and knew no one, there was Da Ge that helped us settle down.. and even as we got to know more brothers and sisters in the Church, so many ones freely offered their helping hand to us when we so needed it... God has placed such a community of blessing around me.. and the new brothers and sisters who have just touched down in Brisbane. Let us look around, and see if there is anyone in need...
365 Days of Love: Afternoon drive-a-round
Later in the day, I had the honour to drive Kuzi and Wen Huey to Judah 8's BBQ at New Farm park... Amy and Xingyu (the new girls I helped in the morning) came along, and got to know some friends in Judah8. And praise God for providence.. I managed to grab some lunch at the BBQ too!! Yay!
It was not long before I had to leave the BBQ to drive the 2 girls back home as they had to be home for an IKEA delivery... and also had to send Kuzi to Mt Gravatt's Metropolitan Funeral Palors to attend a friend's memorial.
I drove back to New Farm after that, dead tired from all that driving... There was a slight drizzle, that grew and grew, but I just lay on the picnic mat and enjoy the cool breeze until it was time to pick Kuzi up from Mt Gravatt.
Had the honour of driving Dexter too... this brother has blessed me so much in the past by driving me around, and now it's my great honour to be able to drive him when his car has broken down..! He might borrow Xiao Jie from me for a day or two... so yeah, no worries bro~~ 小杰就让你保管一两天! I trust your driving~~ just don't fall asleep driving can le.
A Wet Game of Basketball
Yeah... I think one of the best parts of the weekend was playing basketball in the rain. I thought it was fun playing basketball in itself... but in the rain? Scary initially... I was hiding in the shelter... but then Cintia and I decided we should start getting out there to shoot some balls... nicely, it stopped raining when we went out! So I started a game of ball with the boys...Cintia backed out halfway... lol... so she got replaced... and we just continued...
The fun part about it is watching everyone with funny expressions and actions just cuz it was rainy.. so the ball would slip off our hands and we would slow down at certain parts of the court.... I never thought it would ever be that fun...! But... hm... God has a sense of humor... I love what God has blessed me with that brought the greatest smile and laugh to me after this whole week of grumpiness...
Dead tired after the game and all that driving... I went home, took a shower, and fell dead on the bed sleeping.. skipped dinner and slept all the way till this morning...
Today - Awesome Sunday
Went to work at 9.30am, and then followed by making sandwiches for Church... and then woolshed with my new Jo4 core team... and then... had an awesome interaction at Missions Elective CDS - Being a Global Christian. I'm so happy to find others who have the same desire as me, and people who are so excited to see God's kingdom advance in the ways that God has so placed within their hearts..
Hope Church Brisbane... LET'S GO!!!
Also... had an awesome Vision Sunday at service today... Ps Wilson shared our vision for the year... and I was moved and inspired by him! I think he's done a lot of work in preparing that sermon in making it interesting for us... and I'm also so so so so so glad to see the whole hall filled to the max... and even in the simulcast room!
We're growing!!! God's people - lay firm our foundations... and then.. let's GO!!! GO FOR GOD!
Ended the weekend with an awesome dinner @ Cybercity with Jo4.. and was so surprising to see so many other groups from our church at Cybercity too... we just kinda BOOKED OUT the whole Cybercity.. lol.. amazing~
Anyway.. I think life's pace is gonna pick up again for me.... don't know if I'll have the chance to play ball any more after this week since rehearsals and WAC meetings will be starting... but I so thank God for the wonderful weeks of ball games... and since ALL THINGS work for the good of those who love HIM, I believe I'll be able to play a good game of ball again... when God deems the timing's right!
So now this is what I'll leave with you.. sorry not much photos this week... but yeah.. thanks for dropping by! Have a blessed week ahead...
And.. please keep praying so we can birth the fruit of prayer...
1) Did you stop... praying for Xiao Zhu? Hee.. if so... please seed another prayer for him!! :) And the other artistes in the entertainment industry~~
2) Pray that God will use us in our everyday lives to bless others sincerely..
3) Pray that in the midst of orientation, the labourers for God's house will not experience burn out, but instead be filled with His Strength and Spirit!
Thanks for praying friends!!!
Whatever You're doing God... I want to be a part of it.
Wherever You're leading me God... I'm eager to find out..
I'm excited... but walking with fear and trembling too..
But you'll lead me there... and that's where I'll embrace, the treasure you have in store for me.
