Life
I'm still recovering from exams, and reflecting a lot on what happened. It seems like over the past 2 years or so I've been doing more Christian things heaps of things have been getting worse and worse. For example, uni marks, health (time to exercise), happiness, relationship with non christian friends, etc etc. Just in general I havent felt like I'm on top of things anymore. I can't sleep all the time and sometimes just so anxious and depressed. Hopefully things will improve next semester, but I really have to work on my uni courses and make sure I dont come so close to failing again. As it turns out, the subject I thought I would fail in, I got a Credit so that was pretty good I guess. I might still fail something else, but I'll know by next week I guess.
Going to China was pretty nice, and HK's ok too although every place I go to I feel like I was only there yesterday, when its already been 6 months. But both these places are totally godless, and its so difficult to be here without Christian friends. Last last week I went to ECC again and the sermon was a bit dodgy again. I guess he was overall faithful to the overall message of the bible (in that God is good and man is sinful and Jesus is the saviour) but its always weird when people say something, and you're not...hmm thats not what the passage is saying.. So last sunday I went to EFC in Lai Chi Kwok where Moore College graduates Keith and Ada Lai are ministering. The whole atmosphere was pretty good but the sermon wasnt that good again; people who go there regularly told me they preached expositionally and are fantastic, but the guy was preaching on the 10 Virgins parable and he spent half his time talking about Star Wars, which wasnt that related to the parable, then didnt explain that well what the oil and the lamp is.
I should probably focus more on myself at the moment and what I can do to get back on track. I think sometimes that we think too much about people doing ministry and not enough about making little choices in life and godliness in general.
