Less than 2 weeks to go...

School is almost over! My undergraduate years at UBC are coming to an end. The years have gone by fairly quickly, but I will be glad to move on into something new. I guess my something new won't be -that- new, since I am planning to continue my education after I graduate - but now I will hopefully be studying something more related to being a 'career woman.' I'll be a little sad to say goodbye to UBC, and being around the West side of Vancouver. No more.... cinnamon buns from Grounds, sandwiches from the Delly, concerts in the Music buildling, and strolls around the beautiful campus on sunny days. Good times - but I'm sure there will be more to come elsewhere.

On another note, an article I read on the CBC news website. Seems like researchers are trying to study prayer. Seems like a sort of psychology experiment. But I don't think these researchers really understand the nature of prayer... like in the assumption that prayer = what I ask for I will get. And even seemed to separate it from belief in God. Interesting, if not - at least amusing.

Bells are Ringing

Bells are ringing. Not only because Christmas is coming... but because my brother is engaged! Wow, one wedding after another. My sister one year, my brother the next. It feels a little strange knowing that I will soon be the sole child living in this house. And if I go away for school, my parents will have an empty nest. How time flies. And how it flies faster as we age.

How exciting :)

Unite in Worship

I went to this worship conference this past weekend. One word: awesome. Though the 13 hour days were tiring (got to Broadway church at about 8:30AM, left at 10PM), it was well worth it. Every worship session refreshed my soul. I learned a lot, and have a lot to process in my mind.

Some highlights:
Being led into worship by Tim Hughes, Reuben Morgan, Something Like Silas, Vicky Beeching, and Brian Doerksen. And seeing them as regular people, like you and me.
Todd Phillips: He's hilarious! Almost made me pee my pants... Really funny, and communicated a great message

Through it all, through the hours of worshipping God and the hours of learning, the most valuable experience I had: being overwhelmed by God's love. Not only knowing it - but feeling it.
