This morning went quite well. We had another Personal Leadership lecture about having the right attitude for the cause that drives you, including things we should and shouldn't tolerate. Chapel totally made my morning; worship was phenomenal (as usual) and God just poured down on us (as usual). Catrina, our principle, spoke a message called "To Be Continued..." (hence the title of this blog), about how we shouldn't consider any part of our life as a tragedy because our story isn't finished yet. The Hebrew dictionary does not have a word for tragedy; the word "tragedy" was non-existent in Bible times. And for good reason. God doesn't want us to look back at our dark periods of time and think, "What a tragedy that was." The Word encourages us that God will make things beautiful in their time. Basically, if we are in a hard situation, we shouldn't accept a spirit of defeat because in our time God will make magnificence through those dark patches of our life. Because HIS story is not finished, our story isn't finished either. I felt so empowered after reading that. Nothing super special happened until evening, where we had Connect Group in our flat (which was great, might I add) we had a couple visitors from NSW University, or UNI (pronounced 'you-knee') as the Aussies call it. We discussed the vision of the church and what we as members can and should do to move towards the vision. It was also a great time for me to connect more with a couple of the guys, which was neat. Overall, I'm very content with how the day went. Tomorrow's my day off (praise be to GOD!!!!), and I have a couple errands to take care of.
God bless,
Steven
