Colourful Weekend

The 2010 Colour Conferences are half over. Last week, thousands of women from all over the world came to Sydney and packed the Sydney Entertainment Centre for three days of life changing messages and encounters with God. Right now, we’re in the middle of a two day break before getting ready for another Colour Conference, this time here at the Hills campus.

For the first conference, all of the first year guys stayed here at Hills in what was called Be the Change. What we did was we spent three days cleaning and making Hills campus ready for Colour this coming weekend. It was basically three full days of manual labor. I was in charge of a team whose job it was to clean up the car park under the chapel that is currently used for storage. I had a great team and we were able to get the car park cleaned up in a day and a half; after that we looked for jobs to do to help the rest of the teams to finish. It was a great three days of serving and sweating. And that, combined with a full day on Sunday, left me in a mini-coma on Sunday night that is starting to wear off.

All in all, though. It’s such an honour to be serving in these conferences. These conferences are literally changing the world and it’s so cool to be able to sow into something that affects people on a global level. I’m ready for Colour #2 and praying and expecting big things for the women who will be in attendance.

It’s March Already

If I were to grade myself on a scale of 1 to 10 on how well I’ve been updating around here, I’d give myself a D-. But rather than apologize for a paragraph and rattle off reasons for not writing here, I figure that it’d be more productive if I were to just fill in some of what’s been going on here in Sydney.

Intensives finished a few weeks ago and we’re into the meat of our semesterly (I think I just made up a word) schedule. I absolutely love the classes and teachers that I have. I have three different music classes a week, two Old Testament classes, two personal leadership, and then chapel four times a week.

A few weeks ago, I went with three incredible people from my tutorial class to Mona Vale and went to the beach there. That was such a fun day and it ended with me getting probably the worst sunburn I’ve gotten in my life.

Then this last Monday, my entire tutorial class took a trip in to the city to do the touristy thing down at the opera house.

I love being here. This college and this church are challenging me constantly to become that man I was born to be. I leave every class feeling more like that man I was born to be.

This wasn’t very many words and only had a few pictures. But I will try to do better at updating this thing.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10
