Starfield, parking tickets, Summit, retreats, oh my...

"what do I have if I don't have You Jesus
what in this life could mean any more?"

and so the eagerly anticipated words to one of my favouritest songs were sung as their encore performance. the concert was amazing!!! it started off when on Monday we went to Blessings (a Christian bookstore) to go buy the tickets. i didn't know that they were gonna be there so i was super excited to get to meet them. i quickly bought a cd and was trying to remove the plastic cover when the band helped me open it. STARFIELD OPENED MY STARFIELD CD!!!



all with the help of Jesus! (they couldn't open it so they used a Jesus Saves pin to open it) lolz. i got a picture with them and got my cd autographed. i loved the worshippy atmosphere coupled with the rocking out atmosphere combined. they knew when they needed to rock it out and they knew when to let it flow. beautiful.

what was not so beautiful was the fact that a day earlier, i got a parking ticket. i was meeting up with my ap (accountability partner) and i was running late as it was, so i parked in a place that i shouldn't have parked. so i got a ticket. bu hao.

i went to the young adults retreat with my church at camp medeba. on the way there, i saw the Camp White Pine arrow and it took a lot out of me not to tell the driver to go to White Pine so i can go to Summit. but we passed it by with no word from me telling them to turn... my heart went there though. oh Summit... the excitement that flows through me just hearing that one word. so many memories. but i was there to create new memories with a new group of people. and memories we created! 3 guys in one car for 4 hours... and i'm in it... so there were lots of "bonding" moments. eheheh. and we had our worship "moments" like 2 and a half hours of practice and Consuming Fire *shudders* but all in all the worship went well, i think (and i don't think itz because i'm biassed coz i was the worship leader) others said so so i'm just reiterating what others have already said. :D the sessions really dealt with issues that were so basic but things i needed to hear once again. the question of: Are you sure you want to do this? Am i completely sold out to the cause of Christ that i would do anything and everything He requires of me? Do i really want to know what that means? Sometimes itz just so scary what He requires of me. Even though i know that He will always be with me, that He will give me the strength to do what i need to do, there is that fear and doubt about the uncertainty of the future. The retreat was just a nice reminder that i need to face these issues head-on now and stand my ground and be unshaken in my faith and fervour in following Him. Got to talk to the speaker and he was pretty cool. he's taking his masters in theology so we were talking about how i want to get my ph.d. in theology and various routes that i should probly look into.

and i heard a rundown of what happened during Summit and i'm so jealous i wasn't there!!! Dan, I know that you don't read my blog but.... YOU ROCK!!! OH YEAH!!! :P u definitely made me proud this weekend!!! hehehe. and just super excited that the guys that i met up with last year are stepping up into leadership roles. what more can i ask for?

all in all, this weekend was amazing! i hope this is but a taste of what's about to happen in the near future.

and scene...
