didn't get to blog last night after navigators large group meeting, coz my friends ezra, vince and jeff came over to my room to "study", of course we didn't get very much work done, i know i didn't! i think the only person who got anything done was ezra, and that's coz he had a lab report due today. kicked them out of the room at 12 coz i wanted to go to bed, they all knew they had to leave anyway..."we know you go to bed early"...guess i've got a reputation for myself of sleeping early, but hey...12 isn't early at all! in fact, the night before i slept late as well coz jeff was over "studying" (as usual), and he kind of fell asleep on my floor, so it wasn't till i dug him up that i could go to bed. these study camps aren't very effective obviously.
large group was great. danny spoke on prayer, and how to be effective in prayer we have to cultivate a prayer life as Jesus did, it has to be a continual process we're committed to. we were talking about it after in my room, and the guys were discussing the weekly prayer meetings they have on wednesdays at 7.30. i never go...just coz i like to use the morning to do my own QT, chat, do homework etc...but they were egging me on to go, tracy had just come back from skating, and i was giving my lame excuses for not going for the prayer meetings, "it's too cold" etc, and she piped in, "no it's not! you're just making excuses!". and i had to repent on the spot...to have my non-Christian roommate rebuke me...that was a humbling experience, but i deserved it. so now i'm committed to attending prayer meetings on wednesday mornings. there is more than one way to glorify God, and i think one way is just being faithful in small things, even if it's leaving my room a little earlier than usual.
oh, almost forgot...we're (i'm) so quick to forget how good God is. mike, my next door neighbor, attended large group meeting tonight! praise the Lord! he's really moving in his own way, there's little i have done but he has been faithful in loving the people around me.
