Weekend away!

EU science weekend was great! Was better than expected. Hehe some highlights:

- The talk on Perseverance was awesome, and delved deeper than most of us had expected (Romans 8 and Hebrews 12:1-2) !! The discussion groups were pretty good, and so was question time! (i should type some of the notes up, so more about that soon hopefully!)
- Wonderful fellowship with such lovely brothers and sisters throughout the weekend =) So encouraged and inspired by them, seeing God's love shine through them, their servant hearts, their enthusiasm, their passion for God
- Star gazing outside in the cold ... thirteen of us huddling together =) hehe saw a shooting star!!! (yeah i know it's just a piece of debris flying through the universal, but still!) was really good, adding to the already wonderful fellowship over the weekend
- Getting to know my co-leader better was awesome! He's such a wonderful brother in Christ, very inspiring, very encouraging =) Hehe fully treats me as a little sister (even though im a month older than him grrrr =P) but i always think of him as an older brother so it suits me fine hehe...esp with how i always gotta look up when talking to him when we're walking together or something! He almost picked me up and slung me over his shoulder as we were sword fighting =P looks out for me and definitely encourages me purposefully, like sending me an SMS on monday morning, by way of encouraging me for my exam,even though he's leads a busy life himself!! and the train trip to Lawson too ... hehe it took like 2hrs to get there, but it seriously felt as though it was half an hour!
- Pegging =P im slowly learning the art of pegging well =P hehe ohhh yesterday evening getting back from uni was great ... i really appreciated the company on the train - esp two wonderful brothers who really lifted my day up. Hope they enjoyed ganging up on and bullying me =P having to carry me and run to the station in order to make that train cos my legs are too short....pffffft =P although if it didnt mean it'd make life hard for them, i wouldnt have minded not having to expend energy hehe!
- Music! Some of us just got into a small group and sang together, sometimes with someone playing the piano =) Was great how there were some songs we all knew and could sing along to. Singing without the lyrics really makes u think about what u're singing, which was good, cos sometimes (personally speaking anyway) i sing or play without paying enough attention to what im singing. Ohhh..... literally speaking, there's this line in "You are my king" that's not exactly in line with what Romans 8 teaches!
