It starts from my toes, and I wrinkle my nose

Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Argh after downloading the pictures i realise that whatever i'd typed is missing. oh me oh my. and you know that whats been typed one cant be exactly retyped again word for word. One thing, im getting tired cause of my incessant coughing, secondly the heat is getting to me and so the disappearance of the whole entry just made things worse for the afternoon.

But still, i'll try my utmost best to remember what i'd intended to type. Ok so SF MID-YEAR RETREAT '07! there werent a lot of people, probably half of what we used to have or maybe its just me exaggerating but still, wen i get the group photo from jacob you can be the judge. When i stayed overnight on suday i could even sleep comfortably on a bed. Not crowded at all.

But even so, the smaller retreat groups we had allowed us to have deeper sharings and more time to hear views fom each other. Fridy night was spent learning how to evangelise in a fresh new way. Not the four spiritual laws, neither the bridge of life. But more of how to input christ in our everyday convrsations and how e can trn it into a gospel sharing. Amazing huh? When we allow our brains to think and be creative boy can we do so much. family time and games on saturday which i missed out but i know was a fun day. Especially for my family who has been preparing for the i! concert since beginning of the year, though we do meet up quite often but its more of a work thing and not getting to know each other in a deeper way, to b able to share our problems and support one another. Thats something i think we have to learn to work on as the year progresses.

BBQ night on sunday.Thats where the SFers had the opportuniy to put wat we've learnt and practice into good use of sharing the gospel. had 5 of the mates come down. Jin Min, Janis, Crystal, Edmund and Wei Jie. Good time of just talking and eating. Though I didnt get to share the full goodnews of who christ is, yet i did manage to have a short chat with one of them whilst waiting for the bus, getting to know her point of view abot christianity and the many questions she has.

Quite a bit of time was spent in prayer for me and a fellow brother in christ durig the retreat and specifically sunday where we committed the weather and our friends to the Lord, trustin in his ways and plans and asking him to give us the wisdom and courage to know how to share to our friends as well as to remove the thunder clouds away. praise God for he did so and there was only a slight drizzle for a while. Amazing huh how prayer and petition works?! *grins*

Alright, i wont bore you anymore with preppy stuff since this is a blog anyway and blogs aren suppose to be boring. Pictures up next, but i dont have everything, only from sunday and monday. Be patient and wait for me to get hold of the pictures from jacob's camera.For now enjoy what we do have. and No, that does not mean pictures take of me so unglamourously. Qudos to samuel kwan for that. *shakeshead*
