the weekend that passed was great :)

i had a fun-filled one at it.
on saturday. i was hanging out w the group in the morning. supposedly to be studying while the guys were gonna play soccer.
but obviously it didnt happen. by the time Nat and i got down to Caulfield. they were done w soccer. we had lunch in the end. then adjourned to Beatrice's to just hang out over cake and sweets.
Bea and i then couldnt take the heat and off to Chadstone we went. i needed to get prezzies for the bday girl too.
ended up.. she n i went shopping in Myers too. so much for just gg to get presents.
so anyways. at night i was over at Gladys' celebrating her 22nd w her Melb Uni frds.
was good catching up w Jessie too.
off to meet the rest of them for supper at DessertHouse later on too.
then jojo had to be around the city taking pictures of flowers. so Darrell drove her around in my car. we were like going arnd 24-hr florists looking for pictures for her assignment.

Sunday!
was the highlight of the weekend. i witnessed the baptisms of my 2 lovely sisters-in-Christ.
Jojo n Mavis decided to take that step of faith and commit a lifetime unto God.
Awesome!!! i love baptisms.
to me. they are always a moment of joyous transformations taking place as they commit a lifetime to God; serving Him all the days of their lives and just loving God.
was really touching as they gave their testimonies. and was a really joyous and emotional affair. :)
Later on, i had a good time at church too.
was really good as we ended the Controversy Series at church with 'Let's talk about Sex'
seeing God's perspective on this issue which society has changed and given a whole new light(a bad way) on this act which was meant to be a divine and sacred union which happens between a couple in a marriage context.
As questions were thrown around in Q&A and as Ps Corey & Simone answered them. i felt the whole event was very well-done.
it may seem to be a taboo topic to many in the church. but i feel that we have to hear what the bible speaks of it.
its nothing dirty. nothing wrong if carried out in the appropriate manner as God intended. :)

it will be good when Ps. Corey comes to speak at 'Sex it up' week at Uni 2 weeks after Easter. looking fwd to the response!

till then.! assignments are picking up and im getting busier w schwork amidst all the other things.
but its been good. im kinda enjoying it. just need to get on top of things more and make sure i dont fall behind.

&the beauty.
