Saturday was a tough day...
I woke up and had the most beautiful beginning. A walk in the rain, under an umbrella coz it is cold here in Sydney, but still a great time to reflect and pray. We walked all the way from the wharf to the Harbour Bridge until we could see the Sydney Opera House and turned around to be back in time for breakfast and devotions...
Devotions was great with a nice Bible teaching.
It's at this point where i hear you say - how is this tough...
Well the whole day went pear shaped after devotions.
We had a meeting to discuss a big programme that was going to happen later in the afternoon. My programme was the first 2 hours. I invested a lot of time in the programme and really felt comfortable with it. Yesterday 4 hours before the programme would start, the-powers-that-be decided to change EVERYTHING. (See yesterday's blog). After i cried for some time i re-did the programme and had lunch. (Praise the Lord that i didn't over-eat! No comfort food - although i have to admit it was tough not to give in...) Then the tornado hit. We had to set up but another programmw was running in the main conference hall so we couldn't get ready yet. We had about 20 minutes to set up and sound check until the doors would open. The rest was a blur. I ran around looking for people, trying to communicate through broken radios, trying not to lash out at any innocent by standers and trying to keep from comfort-eating. The programme ran 45 minutes late...GREAT.
After the programme i went to practice with our onboard african choir. (As i am an afrikaner and love to sing in choirs, this is a great outlet and time to bless others.) We had so much fun laughing and singing and praising.
Thinking back i realise that it wasn't actually all that bad. Just the part where a leader acted...not so nice, that part wasn't nice.
But all is good. I had a great evening of singing, ironing my african outfit (it took me 30 minutes) and drawing. I'll start posting the artworks soon.
