united

so this weekend thus far has been pretty amazing. just some side things to blog about before i get onto the main point... HID was pretty fun. nothing special or anything but enjoyable =) a nice break from school and just good outdoors time. played the s6 vs staff softball game this year. so old now haha but i got a run =D i was just lucky that radu had a good hit haha. i also watched UP.. really cuuute movie but a looot of sad parts =( cried so many times haha >_< doh so lame T_T but yeah good stuff. and felly was good, talked to deaconess lorraine =) she's always so supportive and stuff. ^^

anyways i really wanted to blog about my saturday... because it was a very good day :) i had an STM training but had to leave early to go to ontario place for the hillsong concert! good thing i stayed long enough to learn about the other team members going on the trip. it's just really amazing to hear how God works in people's lives and meets all their needs and how each one of us seem specifically picked for this team. and how we're all just there together and wanting to do what we're called to because we love God. anyways it was good times at Ontario Place. too bad there was no maze =( but we went on random log ride which wasn't very wetting. i think i got a bit sunburned on the face. not to a peeling extent though. it was cool cause kevin came with us and we don't really hang out with him a lot but he wanted to go to the concert :) when hillsong began to play and stuff, i had the same feelings come back to me from the first concert. just how amazing and uniting God's love is. similarly to the STM, bringing people together to tell of the good news, there were a ton of people, gathered to worship God and to shout his praises all because we love Him. It's really amazing seeing a pretty much full concert and everyone worshiping. A lot of people asked me if it was better than the first time i went and i had never really thought about it before.. but it really asked me to reflect on that. I realized i've come a long way since the last concert two years ago. i've matured so much as a person (despite the fact that i keep pointing out i haven't changed...) but especially in my walk with God. two years ago was more of a rededication moment for me. but this year was much different. i wasnt as hit by the words of the song in the way that "wow God is so amazing, i'm terrible for having denied Him so much" but more of a "Yes, God IS amazing and i want to shout out how wonderful He is". I think i used to get caught up a lot in just singing the songs but i've been trying very hard to focus more on the words of the songs and mean them when i sing them and that just made worshipping Him even more fulfilling. it was also great seeing the friends that i went with also worshipping. I'm glad that all the people decided to come and could make it. I know some were hesitant or maybe only wanted to go for Hillsong, but i really hope that last night made some difference in their night, whether it was learning how to worship better, or self reflection. I know a lot of people might walk away from events like this and be on a spiritual high or some sort of high from the excitement. But I hope that everyone, including me, could worship like that ALL the time and not just in big concerts and events that give you that "feeling". Just truly mean what they sing and reflecting on it. Anyway that's my little spiel about the concert. I learnt a lot from it ^^ God is awesome :)

after that we just went to eat korean and stuff. got a ride home at like 3? (sorry oscar T_T but thanks ^^) and basically fell into bed... good day =)
