I guess you could say this week was pretty cool. I haven't really had time to post due to two lab reports due this morning and everything, but ya. The week is over.
I got to go sharing with SM on Thursday. It was pretty sweet. I mean, we were going to go Wednesday, but he had some work, so Thursday 11:45. He had some work pop up again, so we rescheduled to 1.
SM. I can't wait to see how God uses SM in the future. His prayers are always so genuine and passionate. Ya. He had only gone sharing a couple times before and he didn't really count them. I asked him questions and briefed him on the how and what to expect. And so we went. I may have put a bit of pressure on him because when I go with someone else, I kinda make them choose who we are talking to. It's one of my biggest sharing weaknesses (as you can tell from my past posts) so I mentally trade the responsibility to my partner and prepare to start a conversation, which I'm also not the best at. Just not worrying for hours about who to approach makes the initial approach sooooo much easier.
Ya, we ended up speaking with two Catholic guys from Ottawa, but our conversation was cut short by class. From what we talked about it seemed like church was a family thing. We spoke about a bunch of things. We didn't quite get to the KGP, but we gave them a couple to look over. We definitely spoke about the gospel in conversation. It was good.
Then we approached another couple guys, but they had a lot of work to do. He said that he had been approached before, but that he was very interested, so if we see him again, he wants us to approach. lol.
Next was a guy with a class in a couple minutes.
And finally we talked to this Muslim asian guy. I didn't expect that. lol We were talking and apparently both SM and him were from the same town! Pretty cool. I asked what he knew about Jesus, but he said he didn't know much, so I asked SM and he basically shared the gospel. Not usually the approach, but when I asked if he would like to look at the KGP booklet with us he said he wasn't interested right now, but that he'd share it with his friends. So, basically, by the Spirit's leading SM shared the gospel because God knew the KGP was the wrong approach. PTL. lol
An hour spent for the Lord is not wasted.
I hope SM has learned a bit about sharing, that it doesn't matter who you approach or their initial response, and that SM has grown a bit.
I seem to have spent a lot of time socializing this week. This isn't nearly as much of a waste of time as facebook/youtube in isolation though.
I got to know SP and K(?) way better as well as now that the first step in talking to JXW about spiritual things is out of the way, the other half of my life, the part that has Jesus in every bit of it can be talked about much more easily. xP
Ya. This morning I ran to school. Well, partly. Me and CW left at the same time and for a portion of the journey I was ahead of him even though he was on bike. xP
Ya. I still have three more things on my list of things to blog about.

No Time to Waste
And so once again I have wasted countless hours on youtube, blogs, facebook and etc.
It's really frustrating.
I know I could have done so much more work during those hours.
Every second we have is a gift from God. This week of lowered assignment density is definitely very much appreciated, but I'd like to do something to lower the amount of work I have to do in the near future so that I can do other things like hang out with my friends, go to sleep by 1am, or even just spend an extra couple minutes doing a Bible study or reading a book.
This evening was a bit more productive though.
Anyways, this afternoon was the first DG (Discipleship group) of the year and it was cool. I'm in a more intense DG, so it seems like there will be a bit more work than last year, but it will be good. We will be reading through Ephesians on our own and writing reflections (punishment for not doing it is buying everyone dinner). We will be reading a book about fuel and fire, meaning building our relationship with God and then doing outreach. We will discuss it briefly every other week. We will be doing testimony and hot seat at the beginning of meetings to get to know each other. We will be doing outreach planning. Every other week someone will be planning an outreach and we will do it. It's pretty cool because the three of us will all be in school at least another two years. A lot can happen in that time if we really rely on the Holy Spirit and ask faithfully to see God work on this campus. It's gonna be a real growing process.
Anyways, one thing I've been thinking about is how there are certain parts of the Bible I am really looking forward to. Since this year began I've been waiting to read Daniel. I started a couple weeks ago. It's really interesting seeing how God used dreams and Daniel and everything for His glory in Babylon. The other book I can't wait to read is Hebrews, which will be sooooooo awesome after having read the Old Testament fully. Every single time anyone quotes Hebrews it is awesome and I cannot wait to read it.
I was actually looking at the Bible reading plan I'm on right now and December looks like a lot of fun. xP. After Dec 7 I am scheduled to read minor prophets until new years. xP
Yup.
My life is a crazy ride. xP... I'm thinking of starting my project application. The only thing is what if I suddenly can't go because of Co-op or something..? What if I'm in the middle of support raising and I switch plans? There are non-refundable airplane tickets. Maybe I just pay those myself and anything I'd raised go to supporting East Asian students going on missions projects..? I don't know. >.< I wanna go on project.

Heroes Take Action!
Another long day and it's still only Tuesday.
I wasted time at home, having done none of my homework for the night. I was supposed to write up summary sheets for the five stories. A list of events, how to expand upon them and how to tie the gospel into the story. I didn't work on them last night and I wasted this morning, so after talking with AP a bit and going to VBS training I ended up doing it for the majority of the time that I was at RL and CL's house. (lol. RL and CL describes all of the people in that house). RL was working mainly on memory verse review time games and stuff and CL was mainly working on brainstorming things to pray for while we are in Toronto.
The second Bible story is about the birth of Jesus and the shepards to which the angels appear telling them about Jesus' birth. The shepards acted as heroes by TAKING ACTION! Although they weren't very popular or even respected, they left their flocks to go see Jesus and even went out to the streets and told everyone about it!
Not as much material to work with in this story, but it will be good.
My dad gave us a drive to YA and it was a good evening. We talked about the body of the church and how the many different and unique parts come together to form the body. The main action point we took from the passage (1 Cor 12:12-27) was about giving special honour to the parts of the body that are not as visible, such as administration or parents that open their houses for fellowships or maybe A/V people, or other things like that. We are planning on getting thank you cards and gifts for some such people on a regular basis.
It's almost tomorrow. >.> VBS training at my new house.

Random Stuff
So, I still have a lot of things to do. And they are all at the top of a 'I should do this immediately' list. In other word they should all be done by now, but are not... Applying to be a facil for orientation next year, writing up my resume for summer job applications, doing my bio lab, etc.
And, so I have played google chrome bounceball, watched pokemon, watched friends, just wasted a lot of time in general.
I don't really like Dragon Ball all that much. Also, filming a movie that doesn't have a script yet in the dark in winter is very sketchy. I don't know why, but it's just so much easier for me to act like the bad guy.
I put my Paramore CDs on my cell phone. xP I'm jazzed about this. lol
SC thinks that there is no way that I can get my school work done with my schedule being the way it is. I would have to agree. I should be mega super failing everything, but somehow I'm doing well, I guess.
Anyways, I really don't have anything to talk about.
lol... My internet died when I was about to post this (I meant to post it four days ago... xP), so, ya... lol

Reading Week?
You see, this last week I set out to do a lot of work that I was behind on. I had formed a large list of things I should do in my head before it started, but didn't really do all of it...
Did I read?
I guess I read a bit. A couple chapters of Bio, a few chapters of math, not much else. lol
Did I finish my labs that were due this week?
No.
Did I do the prelabs for this week?
Mostly.
Did I look over my Japanese textbook?
No.
Did I hang out with all my old High School firends?
Maybe some of them, not all of them though... (I didn't give VB a spinning hug though... >.>)
Did I write my resume..?
No.
Did I write my support letter for East Asia Project?
Not really.
Did I waste a lot of time?
Yes. So much time... I even cleaned RL's room instead of doing my own work. lol And now for the over exagerated before and after shots.
Before:
After:
Also, just for fun, I color coded his closet! xP
That was the main part of my week, living in RL's room (except for sleeping of course). His room was cleaner than mine... >.> BUT JK's was way worse than mine, so I was ok with my room. lol

Today I literally wasted hours on youtube and facebook.
I feel so crummy about that.
Like, thats 5 hours I will never get back. and what did I do..? I wasted them. I'm gonna have to limit my youtubing.
Ya, I'm gonna hold off on doing that series of KGP posts until I feel more up to it.
Today I had work then I got to class 10 minutes late which is really good considering the weather, then I wasted hours in Oasis. Then I had class, I got home and now I'm just wasting more time...
Time doesn't stop. You can't control it. You have been given only so much of it. Yet we waste so much of it. I need to just be able to sit down and get things done the first time. Then I wouldn't have any procrastination causing me stress and packing my schedule with 'to do's... Ug.
Also, my bed is so short now....... It's depressing... I don't have to jump into bed anymore... I can just lie down...
Whatever...
I've been reading about Joshua in Genesis and it's pretty cool. Some people in Genesis do things in funny ways though. Like hiding a cup in a sack of grain so that you can arrest them so that you can keep them in Egypt with you until you reveal that you are actually their brother that they sold as a slave who is now as powerful and influential as the pharoah. It's kinda crazy. Also I really don't get this whole 'I can't have your kid, so take my maidservant' idea. It always ends up messy.
xP.
I'm tired.
