A Great Day!

Well I wasn't too excited about going to the 7pm young adults service on Sunday but I'm very glad I did. I arrived a little early to try and meet people but I found myself sitting alone watching the worship team practice. After about ten minutes the sound tech guy came and introduced himself to me. I soon found out that it was the same person that I emailed earlier in the week regarding a Wednesday night small group. Jude, invited me to come and chat with him in the back so he could continue running sound for the band. Lisa, another girl I had talked to through email regarding small groups came up and introduced herself to me as well and then she started introducing me to heaps of people. I left the service that night having met a lot of people and was even asked to join some people for a movie afterwards. After the movie I got a ride home by two very talented German musicians, Zac and his brother Ustes, that moved to NZ back in the mid 90's. Zac invited me to go watch the 2008 Euro Cup Finals with him and his mates at 6:30am to watch his home country take on Spain. I wasn't going to miss out on an opportunity to hang out and watch a highly publicized soccer game to I delightfully obliged to go. After Germany lost to Spain 1-0 we decided to play a little soccer match of our own on the turf field at the university. Two minutes into the game I was going in for a 1 on 1 and got smacked on accident right in my mouth by another player. I'm so competitive that I always end up getting hurt but I had a great time nonetheless. After we tired ourselves out we went to Jude's house and had some food. Later Zac and Ustes took me to St. Clair Beach which was amazing. Just when I thought the day couldn't get any better I found myself in a massive jam session with Zac playing piano, Ustes playing violin and me playing guitar.

  4. Chris, this is Matt Ford.
    I only met you about a month or two ago but I am stoked that so quickly you are getting connected with people where you are. God has you where you are for a reason. I am sure that soon he will reveal it to you. Catch you later.

  5. Hey Chris! I was cleaning out all those fab red and white bulletins in my Bible and found the photo/info card you handed out to us a few weeks ago. I am so pleased you are getting plugged into church and making friends already. It's so awesome to hear what God is doing in your life. Isn't is so incredible to see how God can use us? I recently started up a blog again and thought I would say hi. Praying for you.
