easter sunday night's lil service brought new revelations to me..
watching the passion now vs 2+years ago is extremely different..
then, what struck me most was the gore, the blood, the hatred in their eyes..
now, i see love that surpasses all else, the determination..
and the one thing that struck me the most was when Jesus first carried His cross.. and the other criminal shouted at him, "You fool! Why do you embrace your cross?!" (or something to that extent)
the weekend was definitely well spent w my cell at phillip island..
playing with sam's wii..
silly games and funny dances..
taboo words and mortgages..
building houses and kicking balls (or overestimating and not kicking the ball at all)..
analysing characteristics and playing silly logic games..
building sandcastles that look like ufos or faces (up to your imagination)
and great walls that look like snakes..
chasing seagulls and jumping in the air..
chicken, chicken, and more chicken.. (and some beef and lamb and eggplant)
water rationing (or lack thereof) and 'fused' lightbulbs..
pancakes and our initials..
strange noises and night lights..
(of as charlene put it "3 girls in 3 sleeping bags, screaming our lungs out for a guy to come save us.. from the dark..")
i think this trip met up to my expectations and so much more..
i'm glad all those 'unforeseen circumstances' never came to pass..
and i think i got to know my cell alot more..
this trip has really been a blessing and i thank God for it.. (:
