Day 53 and counting

Haha, looks like I'm averaging a post every 2 weeks. Not so bad I guess.

One thing I must admit about Hillsong is that their worship songs are really good. I mean really really good. Not just the words too. The composition, the pacing, the mood each song sets. Awesome. I can pretty much listen to the Hillsong United: Across the Earth CD from beginning to end. It's truly ANOINTED.

I remember a moment last week during Sunday Night service. The message was about the idea that songs and singing all come from God. We all have a song for God. Even the nature around us do. "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1. Then after the message they closed with a couple of songs. But after they finished the last song it's like the congregation wasn't done praising God. They actually started chanting the beginning of Your Name on High. It was pretty cool. It's like they demanded more praise, more glory for God.



Praise God.

3rd week finished

Hmm almost 2 weeks since I last posted on this blog. It reminds me of how my journal entries go. I'll try doing this on a weekly basic. I probably just need to stop over-thinking on exactly what I'm going to write and just put down whatever is on my mind.

What's on my mind right now? Well I'm thinking about the amount of work that I'm going to be doing for school. The difference is that it is exciting stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm stressed about finishing all the criteria laid out for me. There are due dates and certain check points I need to keep up with, but in the end it's all things that are incredibly valuable. It is funny watching myself (reflecting on myself?) writing notes furiously during New Testament lecture not wanting to miss anything of what the lecturer was talking about. Very interesting stuff. I guess I've always been a lover of history (surprisingly took no history classes at Udub).

Check out this picture of where I was stationed as a cameraman.



Pretty cool to get involved pretty much on the onset.

More to talk about later!

Back to School

Classes have BEGUN! How weird is it that I'm actually excited for school? We finished our first week of intensives. Our schedule was 8:30am to 5pm but only for 3 days of the week. This next week is the same and then our regular schedule will start.

How do I describe what it has been like? I will say that it has been tiring. Sometimes I struggle to keep my eyes open. But the content of which I'm learning is so much more REDEEMING. There is an eternal purpose behind everything. More and more I realize that I'm here for a reason. They say that your life will be changed after your done. Though that is somewhat scary, it also is incredibly exciting!

One thing that is actually tough to deal with over here is the lack of unlimited internet! The plans they have over here are based on usage limits and our plan isn't really all that good. So I can't really upload videos for fear of reaching the limits. It is very frustrating to say the least. Ok I should probably update more later. Keep in touch.
