Co-op Transparency

Friday was really awesome. God answers prayer in so many ways. xP

So, like, that's kinda the summary. haha. I feel like this is how I will often be blogging these days. A summary sentence and an explanation. First, Friday was a little annoying because I didn't have any dress shirts left to wear because I only had two with me at my parents' house, so on Thursday I went to my house and grabbed one, but it's like my most wrinkly. . . Only to see that Fridays are apparently less formal. The first time my supervisor hasn't worn a dress shirt. > . >

But the day was so much better. haha. I finally got to like work on a larger assignment by myself and ask AB and the others in my unit questions whenever I wasn't quite sure what the SOP wanted me to do. And so I finished it. =D And then when I was just going to make some photo copies to put in the file, I got to have an awesome conversation with one of the guys I've been able to play cards with! xP

He apparently just graduated from Carleton in biochemistry like 4 years ago, so we got to talk all about our classes and profs and co-op experiences and everything. So a pretty awesome 'coincidence' that we have been through all the same stuff. Also, he emailed me and the other co-op student that we should go for coffee or something when we finally get our ID passes, which is awesome too. xP

So keep praying for chances to share with my co-workers who Jesus is and live honestly before them hiding nothing.

Fluke

Do you ever get it when God like 100% rebukes you through a Bible verse?

So today I was at the P2C prayer meeting, and we were reading Psalm 127:1, but ZL read verses 1 and 2. So, if verse 1 wasn't clear enough that we can't do it on our own ("Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.") well verse 2 is "In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves."

If you want something awesome to happen in a ministry you are in, the very first thing I do is start making personal sacrifices like missing meals and waking up earlier and staying up later. But just doing that won't change anything, it's still in vain! If God isn't at work, nothing will happen. Abide in me and you will bear fruit!

Work was a lot of fun. Apparently me winning yesterday was a fluke. haha

Hopeful for this Co-op Term

I think this co-op position will be a really good one.

Although I still don't really have access to my computer (which makes it 3/3 co-op terms) I am getting to start doing things, and it's all really interesting material. The SOPs may be the most bland in the world of writing, but when I finally get to do what it is trying to tell me how to it's really cool. Also, I have been introduced to like 60 people in the last couple days. No way I can remember them all so quickly, but it means I can openly talk to 60 people and discuss things with my group and the whole floor.

Additionally, I won the card game at lunch today. lol. From 6th of 6 yesterday to 1st of 5th in a game called "Wizard" kinda like Euchre apparently. AA game of choosing how many tricks you will win and then do it with increasing card counts in your hand for each round. Now, how can I share the gospel through this?

Class tonight was also good. Got to talk to a few 'old friends'. lol. I keep finding out my friends aren't all graduating this year. =P Hooray!

The Weather Outside's Always Frightful, This Time of Year

Yo!

I was about to quit and go to sleep when I ran across this: http://youtu.be/0EQdXyKiFY4
SO FUNNY
And it's actually what I had thought to blog about the other day. lol

Really though, Ottawa has always been cold, Canada has always had tough winters. So, why now of all times is weather the only thing people are talking about? Now, I don't mean to say that the ice storm wasn't bad. It was. But just because our winter is cold, doesn't mean you need to start comparing it to cold places like the South Pole or Mars. It's cold now, it'll warm up soon. Deal with it.

I may also be a little annoyed because co-op students basically aren't allowed to miss work, ever, but that's a different story. haha

New Year Makes Me Sore

The problem is that all my best ideas happen in the middle of the day and then by the time I get to my laptop I'm exhausted and have watched too many episodes of anime.

There are various excuses for whatever you have intended to do.

You could explain all the excuses, but then you'd never get to the issue.

It's been a while again. haha. Surprisingly, it wasn't about sin this time. =D But I've been busy. haha

I was at my parents' house. I was playing Shadow of the Colossus. I went to Richmond Hill for P2C+ conference (so good). Today was my first day of work. Surprisingly, I'm still at my parents' house. lol.

Part of why I am still here is that I'd like to test out what it'd be like to live here next year. At first it was a bit tough, but I think it should be possible.

Also, a friend of mine has a New Year's resolution to do like push-ups and sit-ups and planking and wall sits. I am so sore now. lol.

Ttyl.
