It's been very hectic since the school started six and half days ago. We've had activities through out the day, everyday, except some of Sunday and all of Monday, which were out days off. Since my last post we've been doing quite a few things, though it's mostly been sitting through some very interesting lectures. Tuesday was the start of YWAM Urban Key's week and we spent the entire day working in a project for the media class. It was very intense as we were doing a lot of brainstorming about how the project was going to go and what was going to happen, who the project was for, who could do what, mediawise, and the normal things like that. It was a lot of fun. Whilst we were sitting through the media lecture, the kids of two of the staff, who were giving the lecture, were running around and having fun. Their fun was mostly just a background noise, though one point there was a bowl of chocolate biscuits (American: cookies) on the table and the two children kept trying to commandeer biscuits without being seen by anyone. That was funny to watch as well. Though, for those who are interested in the media project, just be pacient, more will come about that in the weeks ahead. We're still in the ideas and planning stage.
Yesterday was a long day, we had lectures and workduties before heading onto the streets to work with Salvation Army. For this month alone, they're closed during, so we brought a table and set it up with food and hot drinks, as well as sandwiches and cakes. Alina and I went around looking for people to ask before we got back to the table. For some reason, I ended up handing out sandwiches. It was great seeing those who came, taking food and then talking to one of the DTS students or their staff, or by the LMD students or their staff. Even though we do got back very late and I'm still tired now, I enjoyed it tremendously. I'm definately looking forwards to next Thursday night.
Tomorrow's Good Friday, and as we approach another Easter, I can't help but marvel at the cost that Jesus paid so I could be brought into the family of God. It's really incredible that He died, and rose again, so I could live in relationship with Him. He made me holy, like our Heavenly Father's holy. It's an incredible gift!
