What do you crave?

So, today was super great. Basically awesome. lol (Which I have noticed I use too often. >.>) But, ya, really it was good.

I didn't have class until 10, so I took the extra time and prayed and read the Bible and had a quiet time kinda. I really need to get back into good routines with my quiet times. Ya.

So, organic chem was good. Alkenes. Fun stuff.

More free time for lunch, reflecting on sunday school work and kinda quiet time..?

Then I had a bio lab. Ground tissues. We cut up some begonias and some crazy semi poisonous plant. It's really hard to not rub your eyes when you are not allowed... Ya. easy whatever.

Next was another good part. I had a follow-up meeting with PB. On his survey he wrote 'pastafarian' for I am a person who is: other: ___ . So, I was kinda expecting some really weird person... He's in science, so we talked about that for a bit. Then we got to the magazine and he had written down justice for what he craved, but he was rethinking his answer. He craved Escape and Love. So, we went through the escape article, which I hadn't done yet. And we transitioned into the KGP article. He was saying that he grew up not really knowing 'religious people' or being able to find out about these things, so he was really attentive and interested and it made sense to him. He wasn't ready to make an instant decision (really, it's a weighted question. lol) but ya, he seemed interested in exploring these new thoughts. Thank God for bringing him to Carleton University and giving me the courage to phone him up yesterday (I was avoiding it).

Ya. Then I ran off to have dinner with JC. I don't think I've seen him in a week. lol But we're still good friends because we text all the time. I keep wanting to be like 'Oh! My friend MK met up with your friend TC today!' and talking about that. He's Catholic and we haven't had a full conversation about that yet. I gave him a magazine and invited him to the discussion groups.

Then I had class, biked home and now I'm here. I played guitar for a while.

Ya. Two meetings tomorrow. I can't do it myself.

Ttyl.

Dread and Joy

"I've dread this more than I've dreaded anything else in my entire life."

Well, I haven't dread this that much, but I didn't want it to happen. I'm starting to get behind in my school work... >.> I'm trying to be really keen and get things done, do readings, etc. For two or three days in a row now I have not done any work at home. Actually things I wanted to do and planned for that weren't homework are also being shirked.

I meant to go buy groceries yesterday after getting home from school, but, for the purposes of being home at a reasonable hour so I could call some people, I had to leave to play tennis with my brother before buying groceries. In the end I came home with two big bags of groceries from my parents' house. lol

All my labs this week seem to be introductory labs, not actually doing anything, so I haven't had to really do pre-labs except for my plant biology class and that lab is going to be a piece of cake. The entire semester just cutting up plants, staining them with dyes and then looking at them under the microscope. lol. interesting, easy and awesome. lol

Umm. Ya, last night when I got home around 7:20 I procrastinated until 8, but then I started doing more follow-up calls and getting more meetings set up. I got four more meetings scheduled and I have another guy to call later today that I texted yesterday. So, that is awesome. xP

The meeting I just had an hour ago went really well. MD is really cool. He is originally from India, but grew up in Dubai and now lives with his uncle in Barrhaven. It's a bit of a commute to Carleton from there, but that's cool. He doesn't have a cell phone yet though. xP He was really interested in getting involved. He even asked for another magazine so that he could share it with one of his friends!

So far so good. Got a lab to go to.

Ttyl.

Excited again!

Hey D.Fa! Don't ever forget that God is amazing and answers prayers!

When you ask him of things he will answer! When you ask for things in accordance with his will, he will give them to you! When you seek first his kingdom and righteousness he will provide everything else! When you don't know what to do, trust in him and trust in him to guide you!

I wanted to help out more at C4C this year and have God use me. Suddenly I'm doing so much more without even really asking to. I get to do some follow-up for the survey campaign contest. I get to lead worship for tomorrow's prayer meeting. I get to see all my friends from last year and still be their friends as if nothing happened to separate us during the summer. I get to come back and be changed and be used to change others. I'm so thankful for the people I have met this week, for the people around me, for everything really.

Today I had two lectures and a tutorial. All my profs are pretty zany. (except my stats prof) My classes are gonna be awesome this year! I just need to stay on track and everything will work out.

I'm glad I got to spend some time with KC and help him out with his prelab. I hope and pray that God would be working in his life. I saw that he signed up for a DG, so I really hope that he comes out to those and really participates and that God changes him too.

God doesn't just take sinners and leave them the way they are. Although he loves them for who they are, he doesn't love our sin. He payed for our sin through Jesus' death on the cross, but just as Jesus was raised again to new life, so must we be transformed to a new life and grow into the person we were meant to be. It's exciting.

Today we were calling some people for follow up. I got 10 guys. I called like 5, set up 3 meetings, emailed the rest, probably not much there, but really, there are almost 100 first year guys who are interested in meeting up with us for a brief chat about God or Spiritual questions. I pray that God would really be using us in the little time we have and change other lives.

God is awesome.

Peace.
