Orange chicken

I haven't blogged in a couple days cause its just been running around a bit. This week started the Frontline Renaissance and its a ministry for 25-35 yr olds. This has been interesting for me cause a) i have always been around teens, b)my older friends were usually just family, c) i don't really know how to talk to people my own age...i feel like i need to talk about politics or theology. BUT, theres good news! I have found some good friends, thanks to Emma because i kind of have been tagging along with her and her friends and have been able to talk to and hang out with girls my age. On thursday was the first night of Renaissance and there was a Rubiks party. It was in a wherehouse and we had to dress up in cocktail wear (i had no idea about this cocktail dress up...so i come downstairs in my hammer pants and flats and Emma says didn't anyone tell you this was a cocktail party? I, horrified, started laughing and said NO! but then told them to give me 10 mins!)
So finally we get there and give it an hour (even though we were 45 mins late). We played cricket, did some two step dancing, and scoped out the place for about an hour and decided to leave.
(we weren't the only ones who thought it was semi-awkward to be there)
We went to some Brazilian food place and I had a chicken wrap (the fries were amazing) and had some friendly chatter. The next morning I get up and go in the kitchen and Rachel (my 29 yr old flatmate) is almost out the door when she mentions to me that there is an all day conference...I'm freaking out again cause i had no idea! So I rush to get ready and go and hear an incredible truly life changing message from Robert Ferguson. After hearing that i was hooked..I think i'm a true Christian now.
All day was awesome than today i skipped the morning cause they were sessions and I came to hear Louie Giglio, and he was awesome too! Even though i wanted to hear him again tonight i wanted to rest from all the hustle and bustle from the past couple days. By the way we got a couch and seat from salvos (salvation army) and they are awesome!
I think i'm so tired cause the past couple days i've been walking heaps (a lot) and my body just sort of crashed and i'm taking advantage of the fact that i don't work for church and don't need to be at the conference.
This past week has been good and trying and awesome and emotional all mashed together like a glee song. i miss so many things, so many people, so many comforts, panda express orange chicken...but even without those things God is so amazing and comforting and incredible and merciful and gracious and did i say amazing? His timing is so incredibly perfect that i am in awe with Him over and over again. *sigh
