It refers to the fact that 1) I am learning how windy it can get here in Auckland. It's reminding me of back in the day in Chicago... 2) Like you, we also had daylights savings here, except that we turned our clocks one hour back since we are heading into fall. So now I am only 16-19 hours ahead of you (depending on where you are in the States)...
Here is a picture from a French movie called Jules and Jim. I just had to watch it for class recently, and I thought it was quite beautiful...
The picture has no significance to what I am writing about, but people like to see pictures...Plus, I don't think I have the nerve to bring a camera to class and take pictures!
3) God has been doing some amazing things in my life lately!
I have been going to a local church called Elim and I have really enjoyed it. I think it's a great fit for me, and it's only a 20 minute walk. Also, I have been listening to sermons online from Rock Harbor, the church I was attending in CA. That has been great, not only because I really liked Rock Harbor and the teaching there, but I am getting a feeling of how BIG this whole thing called The Church really is. Even though Elim and Rock Harbor are on opposite sides of the globe, the Holy Spirit is moving in both churches and doing really great things in peoples lives. Sometimes the messages I am hearing from both churches really compliment and reinforce each other, and I can't help but think that it wasn't a coincidence, but evidence of a worldwide movement by the Holy Spirit.
Also, I was able to share my beliefs with my flatmate, Michael, recently. We were having a conversation about something else, normal type stuff, but he asked me why I am so moral. So I told him. Lately, I get the feeling he is really confused/fascinated by my lifestyle, and I have had a few opportunities to share quite openly about what I think about God and Jesus and life. It's been challenging because I also feel like I am under a microscope, but overall it has been great to know that I am being used in this way. I am excited to see what happens next!
I'll be sure to let you know!
PS Can you believe I've been here a whole month?!
