*crunch time*
i just wrote an email to my church pastors and elders telling them of my plans after october... it feels a little scary, although i don't know because of what. these last few weeks of work are going to fly by. for starters, i have all friday afternoons off because i still had holidays left over. here's the breakdown:
- last weekend tom and jacinta and i went to cheung chau for a much-needed sna leaders' retreat. we just prayed and talked and prayed and talked and prayed... and then we ate some dodgy food off the side of the road. this is why i love hong kong. there was this one stall with just all sorts of crap like squid and bird brains (they looked like bird brains) and green peppers and eggplant with fish paste and fish balls and sausages that you can pick and choose to deep fry. the lady's got the cart with all these things laid out and a huge wok full of oil... you point and she chucks them in the wok... then she touches it up with a fine sprinkle of msg and throw it in a paper bag. voila, it's a meal. that's why i'm gonna retire on cheung chau. i need to get fat.
- this week my parents are coming for like a month!! it's gonna be so good to see them! ahh and they get to finally meet derek... should i tell him about my dad's gun collection..?
- friday we have an all-plus dinner which should be loads of fun. chaos is always on the menu whenever 2 or more vine members get together for a meal.... then saturday is the rockit festival, which uncle joe and whence he came are playing along with a good number of other indie/alternative bands from the uk and australia.
- the following weekend, on the friday, we've got 'PASSIONATE FOR OUR CITY' worship night at ica with a bunch from hillsong church. this is going to be awesome. we want to get the whole church of hong kong worshipping together! on the saturday, there are some worship workshops during the day, and then it's YOUTH ON FIRE, also with the hillsong folks. then sunday we got exclusive rights to the
hillsong peeps at the vine.
not a bad line up.... i'm gonna take a nap now while i still have time.. then off to a meeting. will finish this later... :)
