God is just Awesome!

Just when you think God can't get any better, He blows you out of the water and you realise He is even better than you can ever imagine! That is what God taught me over this last weekend. My weekend was great. My friends here.......especially my disney chick girls are fantastic (everybody better wear their ring again sometime soon!). We had a girls night on saturday and it was a lot of fun. We ate pizza, ice cream and of course when you get girls together there is always chocolate (and plenty of it)!!!! and we watched Leo movies....one of them did feature Johnny Depp and that was a nice treat. It was so much fun just to have the girls together and to hang out with me. God really did give us a blessing in female friendship and bonding. Don't get me wrong, I enjoying hanging out with my guy friends. However there are just some things and activities that are so much more suited for an all female group than a mixed group.

Sunday was also a fantastic day. Karen and myself with the help of Lou, pulled off sunday roast for 9 people. First of all it was the first time i had cooked for that many people at one time and secondly it was the first time i had cooked a sunday roast in my life. Thanks to the help of phoning my mom back in Canada of all places (which Lou found humerous just to call canada for cooking advice) i can claim that Sunday lunch was a success! In fact, we're planning on another one for Nov. 7 and with even more people. I've had a request though...pumpkin pie...that will be another first for me (pumpkin pie, but not pie in general), but seriously how hard can it be?

The sunday evening service @ church was great and after the service my whole cell group plus a few others prayed for healing in my knee. There is definate improvments in it since cell prayed for it on wednesday evening and even more so since last night! God is truly great in his abilities. and i don't mean to make that sound like an underestimation either. Then to top off the day, my academic supervisor at home gave me the final okay to be here for school for the whole academic year!

Thank you God for those days where you just completely show us how amazing you are and how much you care for us in every aspect of our lives. You don't need to give us those kind of days, but you completely blessed me and enriched my life even more yesterday and the weekend. I just want to say Thank you!!!
