halloween adventure!

so a long time ago, my goal was to have an adventure a day... but clearly that hasn't been happening OR i haven't been very good at recording it.

today after kcf and playing our usual monopoly deal and fish (two of my favourite games currently), a couple of friends and I decided to go get mcdonalds at 3 o'clock in the morning. We got a ride there and right when we arrived, noticed a HUGE amount of people in there. It was when we realized this was the Friday before Halloween and right when all the clubs had closed.

We decided to go for it anyways and after half an hour of waiting amidst drunken yelling and the guys behind us telling us to go faster, we walked out with amazing food hehe. And then we walked to our friend's office in MC on campus and ate and just chatted for a bit. And then being weak as they were, we had to go home because they were falling asleep =P

I currently am up and planning on studying after finishing grey's anatomy because i know that if i sleep, I won't wake up for EMP =P

Micah 6:8

or·dain \ȯr-ˈdān\
:to invest officially (as by the laying on of hands) with ministerial or priestly authority

I have to admit that I had just thought this would be another big event and a big stepping stone in the life of our dearest pastor joe. It didn't even occur to me that this was a huge step for our church as whole.

It wasn't until last night, when I was thinking about how far God has brought our church that I realized how amazing and how awesome ordination is. As pastor... Rev. Bae said this morning, "we are now more than dating." A lot of people said tonight's worship was like a wedding and in a way it was; it was committing PJoe to Vaughan and us to supporting him.

To think that in the past what.. six years? Our church has gone through so much and I don't think I'll ever be able to express the heartbreak that our congregation went through. So many tears were spent on everyone's part - tears of anger, frustration, doubt, grief, sadness, you name it. I came into EM when it had no pastor. I knew how hard it was through my parents who were both on LT and search committee - both of whom aged immensely in that time of dryness.

To see people leave was probably the hardest. To see people wanted nourishment and not getting it was heart breaking. To be one of those people and not being able to do anything about it was the worst. Yet God heard our prayers. Today's ordination scripture was from Exodus and talking about how God heard the Israelites' cries and answered with Moses.

God is SO good.

There are a million things to be thankful for but ultimately, I am so thankful for God's faithfulness to Vaughan. He has delivered and grown our church in so many different ways and I don't even know where to start thanking Him.

I'm so excited to see where God is going to take us. As said in Micah 6:8, He's delivered us. All we have to do now, is follow him with humility, love mercy, and act justly.
