my mind is stuffed

it's been a nice couple of days. i've been sleeping at sara's the past 2 nites to look after her dog, Dog. hee. 7days (ie pat, simon, sara, grace and a bunch of volunteers) have gone for a conference overseas, so the boys and i are kind of helping to pat pat Dog and feed her.

she's so cute! all shorn (recent haircut) and mournful looking. aw...

this week also marks the beginning of a month long journey through the Bible. it's really intensive stuff, and my mind is seriously crammed rite now. we have a three hour session every alternate day. so it's been 2 sessions so far...

really really good stuff.

we've covered genesis till esther so far. for every book, i feel like i know so much more about the context, the author, and what the book is all about, how it contributes to the whole flow, what lessons we can draw from it. and i am amazed that there are so many parallels to the new testament in the old! it's like God created lots of metaphors and examples all which pointed towards Jesus, our sacrificial Lamb who paid for the sins of the world!

so i'm looking forward to the many more sessions to come. although it's very draining and tiring, it really is opening my eyes to new things, and renewing my excitement about God's Word.

work wise, it's getting more and more busy, with TURT auditions, prep underway (program development, curriculum and marketing material), and more assignments from staff training side. it's so exciting as i look forward to this annual project, and to the lives that i will meet, touch, and be touched by through the time!!! =)
