Six months to Christmas!

And this date also marks Nana's birthday! So just now made the short walk up from my house/church with some other church people to Sheena a.k.a. Nana's 20th birthday party at her house along Dunman/Haig Road. Such a nice (my vocabulary is failing me) place, literally steps away from the swimming pool, which even comes complete with a jacuzzi! Oh, i can just imagine in the heat of the day how tempting seeing the cool blue waters of the pool just inches away from you on the other side of the door would be... I'd be inside before i knew it...

But i digress, anyway, it was really great to catch up with some of the St. Hilda's people after a somewhat prolonged period of merely making guest appearances at church events, which started somewhat about a month ago when i flew off for holiday, and has continued up till now, and perhaps even after school starts again, due to other commitments that i have made, primarily with VCF activities, which has meant being able to miss church events like the recent Soul Revolutions youth conference, the Power of the Witness seminar, and last night's havoc overnight movie marathon (which was quite hmm for me to miss, considering that i was practically sleeping next door...) due to timetable clashes, as well as just plain tiredness.

Of course i do realise that VCF activities should in no way be seen as replacing church activities, on the contrary the church ought to be the primary source of spiritual feeding, in my opinion. At the same time, however, i do believe that the Lord has led me to VCF and involvement in all these various activities (FOC,Matric,CGL...) for a reason, and i thank God for the affirmation that he has given me to counter any lingering doubts that i may have had, through being able to experience the joy of service. Additionally, the windows that He has opened for service have largely been on the VCF, rather than on the church side of things, and i believe that the Lord has wanted me to take them in faith.

So, here i stand at a point where i realise that i may be spending less time with church activities. But what is more important is that He be glorified in whatever i do. I pray that that may be so, Lord. Amen.
