Weekend!
________________________________________________________________
Alright. I should so be studying now. But i just finished my Oscars piece and am so not in the mood to get anything else into my brain. My midterm is on tuesday and i havent studied for the entire weekend because of the church conference! So i am really behind. And the thing is, i actually like intercultural comm, so i dont mind studying for it. Anyway, the conclusion is that, i'll skip tons of classes tmr to study for my midterm. Prob head down to starbucks ALONE for some last minute cramming. The girls are studying together now, but i didnt want to join them, cause i cant write an article when people are around me doing different stuff! How the hell am i gonna become a journalist then? You think you get ya own nice huge office to write QUIETLY in your room Mavis?! haha.
Anyway, i just wanna blog about the conference. I felt in love with a kid today. GOsh she is so so so so cute. I just wanna hug her all day. Haha. Makes me wanna get married and get kids of my own straightaway. She's 3 and her name's kayrn. I forgot to bring my camera today! So i didnt take a picture with her. But i will definately get a picture of her before i head back to singapore. She's of thai blood, and her eyes are just like her mom's! HUGE! her lashes are longer than mine can?!
Oh yah, and i realised, kids really do love my cereal. I brought my cereal to church today because i didnt get enough time for breakfast. It's been three days of waking up at 9am, so you should know how much of a struggle it is for me. Especially on sat! Haiyo! And so i brought my cereal to church, was just eating when kayrn put her palm out towards me, demanding for one. Haha. And i gave her one and woaho! The entire children's church flocked towards me like ants to honey! Gosh. Haha. Now i know what to get kids for christmas. Hoho.
Anyway, the three days conference was basically talking about building a seed church. It's something which i havent really thought about because in CHC, our church is already so big. We're pass that stage of struggling to bring people in. But here, i am shown a totally new perspective whereby there's a lack in leaders, and whereby they are trying so hard to reach out and bring people into the church. So the conference was good because it led to to learn stuff i was never taught back home.
The people here have touched me deeply. You should look at the way they talk to people. Very sincere. We can just be hanging out at a smoothie joint, and they will meet some friends they havent seen, and they will go into deep conversations, sharing and stuff. I think their attitude touches people, and people do agree to come. They are a small church, without a great worship team, they do not even have members who have really good voice to lead. But no one is afraid, and people step up in faith to lead the church in praises. Their musical instrument may not be the best and of the highest quality but i am sure the music that comes out of it is a sweet sweet sound to the lord. The church may not be the biggest with the nicest seats, the pastor may not be the most eloquent who preaches the best, the people may not be dressed in suits and ties, the girls may not be in makeup and all, but the sincerity of the people, the way they are so willing to lead, so willing to help others, its incredible. I think they may be the best bunch of people i've known here. They pick me up everyweek for care group and service, they take turns to send me back even though they are already so tired by the end of the night. They ask me out to hang out, they pay for stuff for generously. No one is arguing over who didnt pay that extra dollar or two. Everyone is just so willing to bless if they could.

Travis - Flowers in the Window
There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
