prayer power needed!

i had a hard time sleeping last night because i had a lot on my mind. mostly about cell group members, and in particular, vinci & joyce, my 2 housemates who are also in my cell group too. i am finding it especially hard to find time to hang out with them, open up to them & do some deeper sharing. it especially hurts when i find out that one of them actually had a difficult time a couple days ago, & she turned to some other people to ask for prayer, & i didn't even have any idea. especially with midterms lately, i've had a lot of other things on my mind. i keep saying: "after midterms, i'll do something with them." so please pray that i'll come through on this promise. as well as with the other girls in my cell group that i'm taking care of -- both michelles, emmy, brenda, janice, & alicia.

how are your midterms going, girls? feel free to list them here & then we can all pray for you on that day! i have immunology at 5:30-6:30pm today & biochem on thurs. 7-9pm.

& praise God for the library! (:

slip and slide

praise report: i am so thankful for how things turned out today. so, while i was walking to the school of english, i was honestly feeling rather disheartened and almost positive that no one was going to show up for soccer (students/kccfers) because of the cold rainy weather. still, there was the slim chance ... and while i was humming a worship song which now escapes me and trying to fix my broken umbrella on the porch, a voice called out, "hey, is there soccer today?" 5 int'l guys in two cars had driven up looking to play some soccer in the rain. hurrah! arriving at city park, i spotted one person from kccf. he, as it turned out, was calling up the others and one by one, ppl from kccf arrived to join the 5 guys and i in a match of soccer. it was greeaaaattt ... slipping and sliding and just getting totally muddy and wet and not caring (that much at least). :D we had, at least, 15 ppl show up. some were spectators (kccfers), but most of the ppl played. all i can say is thank you, jesus, for bringing the people out today to spend some fun times together and for allowing the students to just talk and get to know some of the queen's students. and maybe next time, just maybe, we'll be able to share more with the students. but, for now ... companionship is good enough. the students, for sure, were glad to have had people to play with today.

sunny days!

hey all you wonderful pad-ers!
i must say this is a pretty snazzy blog! thanx eleasa!
first off, i must admit i'm a blog newby as well, so this is very exciting for me!
how was Bible study for everyone last nite? i know for me personally it was very eye-opening to do a "spiritual check up." perhaps we can discuss what we learned in Bible study when we meet up tomorrow? keep each other accountable to what we could change/improve on in our spiritual lives... just a thought! so is everyone still ok with meeting at Stooley's after church at 1:00? if so, i'll see you then!
anywho, hope you are all having a faaabulous saturday! it's so nice to see the SUN shining so brightly! such a contrast to the first SNOWFALL that happened yesterday... which was also so beautiful! oh how amazing is our God!
Ykathleen

good morning.

hi. i don't know if it's because of the slide(show) they promoted it with, but everytime "PAD group" is mentioned i'd get a visual in my head as well. anyway, i hope you're all holding up alright with midterms/assignments n other (personal) stuff or whatnot. know that you've all been in my prayers. take care n see you sunday.

ps cool we're starting to use the blog now!

Bible study tomorrow night

hey girls!

hope the studying &/or assignment-ing &/or reading is persisting well these days !
( i'm actually at stauffer right now. )

just came back from cell group leader pre-study
& as it's the night before the bible study,
i'd ask that (if you read this in time)
you please pray for me & for all the cgl's
as we prepare our minds & our hearts
to lead the study tomorrow.

the passage is colossians 1:1-23, with a focus on vs. 21-23.
if you have a chance, read over it so you go a bit more ready for diving into God's word !

goodnight girls !

much pad love,
me !

hi everyone,

just wanted to give a big thank you to eleasa for starting up this blog site. what a fantastic idea. to be honest, i have NEVER blogged before ('coz i couldn't think of a good reason why i would need to) ... but what better way to keep in touch with each other than this? alright, before i sign off, are there any blogging etiquettes that i should be aware of? (i'm jokin' .. there is no such thing, right?) take care ladies. lookin' forward to seeing you around campus, but if not, see you on sunday :)

First PAD post!

First post! I hope we'll have fun with this blog. That way, if we don't meet up weekly, we can still keep each other updated on the little things that are going on in our busybusy lives. And the little things that God blesses us with that we'd like to share with one another. Bookmark this site & use it, girls. (:

So for this Sunday! (if you read this in time...)

Cathy's going to be meeting her international students at the School of English (96 Albert St., next to Vic Hall) for some frisbee from 2:00-3:30pm. We can meet as a PAD group there, & then go for coffee afterwards (at CoGro?), or meet on the frisbee-playing field (either in front of Kingston Hall or City Park), or just meet after 3:30pm. It could end before then too, so we could give you a call on your cell phones? Me, I have a Sunday School teachers meeting from 12:45-2pm, so I'm probably going to go to one of the fields to look for Cathy & her students after 2pm. I think Kathleen's coming to frisbee later too.

Tell us what the rest of you want to do! :)
