I was feeling really awesome this morning. In BT we had a talk about who God is and our possible misconceptions or imaginations of God based on parental figures or mentors, or our feelings [which was apparently part of our OCBC church family retreat a week later back in Canada. What!? Crazy!]. Then we looked at a number of verses that give a real picture of who God is and who we are because of who God is. It was really awesome.
[I'm actually still using the card we made from this BT. Thanks MC!!! Here are some points:
God is:
-my strength + my rock + my deliverer (Psalm 18:1-2)
-the true vine (John 15:5)
-the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6)
-rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4)
-my armour (Ephesians 6:10-11)
-love (1 John 4:16)
-good (Romans 8:28, Psalm 106:1)
-My redeemer (Romans 6:23)
-resurrection and the life (John 11:25-26)
-my Shepard (John 10:27-29)
-creator of all (Prov 22:2)
-consuming fire (Hebrews 12:39)
compassionate (Matthew 14:14)
-great and awesome (Deuteronomy 7:21)
-eternal (Matthew 24:35)
-with us always (Matthew 28:20)
-giver of good gifts (John 15:7)
-unrelenting in his pursuit of the lost (Luke 19:10)
In Light of who God is, ____(insert your name here) is:
-adopted as his son/daughter through Jesus (Ephesians 1:5)
-marked in Him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13)
-a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20-21)
-raised with Jesus (Collosions 3:1)

-Child of God (2 Corinthians 6:18)
-new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17)
-victorious (1 Corinthians 15:37)
-loved (Galatians 3:20)
We ran out of time though, but I am still adding to this list and looking back on it. 'It was really awesome']
Before BT, me and TL had a badminton man-date. It was pretty fun for a while. The problem is that I tend to play to[o] hard. xP I swung at the birdie and the racket went flying. Well, just the neck and head, not the handle. So, ya, we stopped playing.
In quiet time I read Joshua 3-4 and Psalm 58-60. I also kinda zoned out. Me and TL then went out to explore and meet people again. We bussed to the PT University and it was pretty quiet, so we walked. We ended up at the river. It looked like it was dry. [It looked like it was dry!] I found out the hard way. I was the first to get a mud bath. We walked through 'the ghetto' to get home, I changed shoes and we went out again.
We really didn't meet too many people, but this one guy, who we named David was really nice. I really felt that we should make friends with him. I'm glad we did. [He was misunderstanding our question of 'how many years have you studied' as 'how many will you', so he kept saying he was in 5th year. I didn't believe it, but TL did. In the end he had been in university 2.5 years. We had lunch with him.]
I'm so sunburned. lol. If sunsickness exists, I probably have it. Kinda a depression and a rash and some headaches.
MC is so nice. heart. SVdM is kinda a combatative person.

"Col 3:12-14 'Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.'"
