Day 10. An Exact Group. Sunday, 27/11/2005

Today we went to the beach. I didn't go swimming, but I played volleyball until we had to leave early, because the likelihood of us getting struck by lightning became too great for comfort.


At lunch today, I shared my testimony. I wasn't happy with how I told it though, because I immediately departed from my plan and started chucking out parts of the story that I felt were too unbelievable (I did this last year too, but it was my plan that time). As a result, I was left with a list of events that didn't appear to be relevant to the story and I took too much time trying to make it all flow. It just sounded like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (maybe that's why it's become one of my favourite movies). But that's not what I was trying to get across at all. I wanted to make it apparent how much God had directly interfered in my life to make it possible to live it to the full (John 10:10). Fortunately, not many people were there to hear it, as they were still arriving from the beach.
Krystle gave her testimony as well, and that was much better. Trevor G. gave his at dinner. Darcy had given his to the church at the morning service, and Kerri gave hers tonight at the 6pm service.

Kristine, Bethany and Tim L. were in my group tonight. This exact group we had last year, so we worked together as a group very efficiently tonight.
