Life of Radiance

I let one of my flatmates in on one of my passwords the other day and he responded,
"do you think you're special or like God's chosen or something being 'radiance' and all?"
I responded in my defence straight away saying no. However, I then thought about it later on in the day and it occurred to me, I do think I'm special and I do think I'm God's chosen, but I also think I'm no more special than anyone else and that anyone that accepts God as their father through the adoption Jesus Christ offers is also a child of God and therefore God's chosen.

I had an exam on Saturday morning. I think it's my last exam until the end of semester 1. Yay!! Every week morning my flat gets up for Bible Study. We also cook breakfast and have it open to anyone who wants to come along. At the moment we are looking at the fruit of the Spirit. I went to Countdown this evening to fundraise with Student Life for the conference in the next holidays. Sold a good number of sausages. Anyway, I'm gonna need to go and get some study done or I'm not going to pass my end of semester exams. Ciao.

Alright, a bit of an update on my life in the past few days.

On thursday night: Zoanna and I headed down to the Cook (student pub) to meet StudentLife (Christian Group) so we could help out with the singstar from a van they were setting up outside. We warmed up our vocal chords on the way there by singing wildly "Oh Danny Boy" and "There's A River Of Life" (probably looked like drunkards ourselves). Basically we got there and along with 20 or so other Student Lifers we entertained drunk students by allowing them to compete against each other in singstar! (gave them a break from drinking continuously) It provided great opportunities to explain why we were there and what we believed. (and also to make sure that there weren't people so drunk they couldn't make it home again). And yes I did sing, to a delta goodrum song actually. I sang against a drunk guy (he chose the song) whose friend was trying to put me off because I winning by so much. (must have been the warming up) and I even sang in false-seto (not bad huh?).

If you can keep up with me, and get around all those brackets (...) then we'll move to Friday.

On Friday: nothing really interesting happened. Watched a movie though - Million Dollar Baby. It's probably worth watching if you haven't seen it. However, I did accidently lock myself out of my room and thus attempted to break in through a slightly opened window. I climbed on the roof through the bathroom window and edged along until I got to my room. There I used a coathanger to try and unhook the lock. unsuccessfully. So my flatmate Zoanna came out on the roof and stuck her arm in the window and reached across to the latch. Unfortuently her arm was a little to short for the window. So I had my turn. Just before my arm reached the latch a suddenly shattering noise occurred. I stood unmoved for about 2 seconds before I realised that yes, that shattering noise was the noise of my window shattering. Doh! But atleast I got into my room right? Another second and I would have had that window unlocked, but there's no use crying over spilt milk. I did need to get into my room that night anyway, but I think next time I might try to pick the lock before I try anything tricky. I didn't notice at the time, probably due to the shock, that a small portion of the glass had landed on me (my arm being on one side of the glass and my body on the other when it shattered) Nothing a good night's sleep won't heal though.

Come Saturday(aka today): I had to get up early to sit an exam, which was why I didn't do a lot on Friday. I think it turned out alright, but I guess the results will show.

That's all from me.
