ACF was really small today. I don't know where everyone went. It was probably because of midterm week and people visiting places. There was Bible Study today. We were studying on prayer. It wasn't on a specific passage though like in CCF. It was more about an over all topic. We went through Daniel 6:10, James 4:3 and Matthew 6:9-13.
Something that really spoke to me was something that I was struggling with earlier on this year "we concentrate on how to get rid of a sin instead of concentrating on the prize which is building on our relationship with God". I remember I had an internal battle with in myself and sometimes I felt like I would puke or something from this. I couldn't concentrate during lectures and praying. Sometimes we think about how we could be transformed instead of how God will transform us through know how to Love Him. From the Bible study, I was reminded that it is not by what we do that will remove our sins because we cannot remove our sins. Only God can remove our sins through His Son.
I also learned about modern day healing. It was so cool! I met this guy called Willy and he told me about this time he went with his family to China for outreach. His whole family became sick during the missions trip. His brother had diarrhea and a fever so Willy spent 2-3 hours pray for his brother so that his fever would go away and it did after he prayed. The next day he got sick and had diarrhea and a really bad headache. He asked his brother to pray for him. His brother replied, "Oh I know you will get better." but he prayed for Willy anyway. His brother put his hand on Willy's head and started praying. After 10 seconds into the prayer the headache went away. SO COOL! SO MUCH FAITH!
The thing that supports this is what happened during and after the Bible Study. I had a major headache during the Bible study. I didn't care about it but it bothered me a lot during worship which was after Bible study. I started praying and asked God to heal my head so I could worship Him solely during worship without thinking about other stuff. After I finished praying I didn't feel pain in my head. SO AMAZING! WOW! HEALING IS REAL!
Haiz...that was an amazing experience!
It was pretty easy talking to people in ACF. They are pretty open. I think they are just shy and don't want to approach you first. haha. I think we need to take the initiative to talk to people if we really want to talk to people. This is something that I'm still working on. Sometimes I get scared or intimidated by others because of their facial expression. It is easier to talk to someone who smiles than frowns or looks angry or worried.
I talked to H.Fung after about the person I wanted to talk to. It was nice to hear about her friendship with that person and a her spiritual life.
Aiya! My headache is back again T ^ T...oh well.
I'm sleeping in G.Lee's room tonight - she is back in Toronto. Bi.Leung has a midterm tomorrow. H.Fung is going to bring me 'round campus tomorrow (I liked the pasta she made today). Their other roommate is in Kingston right now. I didn't meet her yet but I hope I do one day.
I want to go to Kingston and hang out with my cousin. I miss him a lot. I never talked to him about our spiritual lives before but I think I will start emailing him or something haha I want to see how God has been cultivating him.
Anyway...goodnight zZz Big day tomorrow. So much to do and so little time. I'm God's lil' trooper.
