I Had The Craziest Dream

If the present "me" told the past "me" what he would be doing in 10 years time... The latter person wouldn't have believed it... This week as been, for lack of a better word... "AMAZING"... I can't even begin to describe the wonderful things God has done... But well, gotta start somewhere... lol...

I got every administrative thing sorted out by the end of the 1st week of university... Which was one of my major concerns before I stepped foot in this place... I'm talking about food, uni, fees, registration, yada yada yada... that's sorted...

Next, on the list of my "worries" would be friends in the halls or jazz course... and more importantly, Christian friends... more about that later... cos I want to tie it in with something else...

Church and Christian Union... I think I've written about it my previous entries... but... it's really interesting how all these tie together...

Let's start with induction week... Forgive me if I'm repeating myself from past entries... Met loads of people that week... Even a guy from Singapore!!! Made lots of friends... And of those friends... a lot were living on campus... Had a small party in someone's room after grocery shopping... got to know a few more people there... Met 2 Christians who introduced me to the Christian Union as well... Went to Bright's church that week too... totally blessed... going to start playing in the worship team soon as well...

Anyway, the week lessons start, I meet a few more people from the jazz course, from my halls of residence and from the Christian Union... Hang on just a sec if you think this is boring you...

Now you see, for all my doubts and fears... God knew my hearts desires... and I'm ashamed to say that I didn't trust him enough... I wanted friends, buddies in my course, hall mates, Christian friends and to play with people in a band... well guess what he gave me...

- 2 Christian friends in the halls - Go to church on Sunday with them...

- 3 Jazz Friends in the SAME HALL, 5 Jazz friends ON THE SAME LEVEL in the halls - comprising a full band!!! Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar, Saxophone, Singer...

- Many other international friends in the halls...

Now this is the mind-blowing one...

- 3 Christian friends in the JAZZ COURSE...

Hold your breath... It gets better...

Of which one of them is in my hall of residence on campus...
Another one produces stuff and wants me to work with him...
And this is the one that takes the cake...

- Skippo... A Christian guy who plays in a band outside of the course... wants me to play with the band... and guess what I found out today... THE WHOLE BAND IS SAVED!!!

And now I wonder why I even had that doubt in me in the 1st place... Cos His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches over me!!!

Me and Skippo talked more about Christianity both before and after our lesson today... It was powerful man... At the end of our lecture, we ended up in a practice room with 2 pianos, playing and singing and worshipping... And mind you, that wasn't in seclusion in some corner at the far end of the building... It was smack right next to a staircase, a staff room, the main lecture room and the walkway outside the building... And it was that time of the day when everyone was in the building as well... People walking back and forth every 5 mins... Unashamed! Can't describe the feeling in words...

Church on Sunday was good as well... Vision... To know Him and to make Him known... That's pastor Bright's vision... Witnessing... Etc, etc... the list goes on... I went with my 2 friends to pastor Bright's house... for 6 hours again!!! lol... Blessed time...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" has taken so much more meaning and depth in my life... There is so much I want to share with you people and many others... these are exciting times... Anyway, I'd better do my laundry now... It's piling up... lol... I hope this testimony (no not the laundry one) has encouraged you...

Carve your name on hearts, not marble...
