Beautiful

I just came back from an hour in the prayer room. It was lovely, nothing really spectacular happened, but I got to hang out with God. And the last song that came on my ipod was You're Beautiful.

I see your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of your stars
It's all proclaiming who you are

Then when I stepped outside, the sky was clear and the stars were bright and shining. They really are spectacular here. And the milky way is so clear too. God is so cool. I couldn't help but me amazed in the light of his stars.

It is hard to believe that the 3rd week is almost over already. Time is going way too fast. Things need to stop being so fun so that time will stop speeding by!

Today was local outreach day. I went to this thing called King's Kids. During the week, the staffers from the YWAM base go to this school in a poor Maori town and do a breakfast program. And on Thursdays for outreach we go and clean up the school and evangelize door-to-door. So today I went and I got to weed one family's garden. It is interesting how I keep on getting assigned to work outside weeding. I wonder if there is any significance to that... Anyways, it was relaxing and it was pleasantly cool outside which was perfect for working outside.

I also met one of the children that is part of the program. His name is Taumata. But I called him tomato. He loved it. All of the children are so hilarous there. They hang off of the van and try to keep up with it on their bikes when we leave. Oh man. Also, this large girl was attempting to tackle everyone... we called her 'bruiser'. She almost knocked me over.

Tonight was a much needed night off. I have to finish this book 'Is that Really You God?' so that I can write a report on it by Monday. Always procrastinating. So now I am about half way through it. I should finish on time I hope. But despite the fact that I have reading to do I could not resist an impromptu dance party in the GAP, there were strobe lights and everything (well, a flashlight on strobe setting). It was all fun and games until the light made me nauseous. But it's ok, the light got turned off before I threw up.

My new German phrase for the day is Ich bin dick. This means I am fat. :) Such a good phrase to know :P
