Updates updates

One feels that the invention of Twitter has put our lives, every insignificant and pointless moment of it, on display... or perhaps no part of life is truly undeserving of attention...

***

So some small updates about what's going down in my life over here in Melbourne. Currently I'm still jobless (although not for lack of trying). In fact I didn't get any return phone calls or invitations for interviews... yet I'm more than reasonably certain (and it's be confirmed by other people) that I've got some decent exp for someone who's mostly a fresh grad... so I decided to re-tune my resume (thanks to Ce, Mel and Kfu for their assistance) and now have a short, well formatted, yet thorough, 2 page paper that details my life since leaving High School.

Of course I'm rather bad at writing cover letters... what does one even say?? I mean shouldn't they just look at your resume to see if you've got the right qualifications/Exp, then call you up to see if you've got the desired communication skills??? I mean seriously...

Anyway, for the time being I'm looking at IT Service Desk positions, there's one particular one that I've got my eye on that I applied for today... prayers would be appreciated.

But enough about that.

In regards to ministry currently I've been visiting/attending/sorta leading a small group with a lovely girl named Rachel, which is ironic for reasons I can't really disclose, but the group is awesome! However in talking with my young adults pastor, he's suggested that my experience could be better put in starting a new group. So that will probably be the direction I will go. I will start a HK plus group right here in Melbourne. Maybe DP and I can get a denomination going! Woot! A body of believers who focus on loving God, knowing Him and spending time with Him in order to see fruit in our lives. (John 15) He is the vine, and we are the branches. Perhaps the Vine IS aptly named.

Socially... well, I've mentioned it to many people, but I feel quite... lonely here. I think I've written about it previously, and not much has changed. This was most recently highlighted when I went for lunch with 4 of my friends, two couples. All the seats at the tables were for even numbers... the seat next to me was noticeably absent. It's sorta funny when you think about it, and I don't mind... but increasingly there is a divide within my friends here, not just with me, but between the people at various stages of their life in our church. That and I miss my brothers in HK... very guys here take the Bible as seriously as DP and Alex... or are as cool as Paul and Will (who also both take the Bible seriously =). True men of God are hard to find... although I already knew that, cause all my single sisters bemoan that fact constantly :P.

Lastly, God has been really speaking to me, and last night gave me the last verse in the Old Testament as His personal revelation to me. I suppose there are very few reasons that God would keep me here, and that would be one of them... and so I will obey in the little (or not so little) things, to show myself faithful for the bigger things.

=) just checking blogs while waiting to see if my model will start running (which it just has! I spent some time checking out what the last verse in the OT is)

And after all that, I've forgotten what I was going to say!

Ohh... I had an idea... after one of our conversations. I just don't know if it's worth pursuing... I'll ask you about it next time we meet =)
