He Has Risen!
While I know that Easter is so much more than festivities and food, to be honest it was hard to be away from my family and friends during a holiday. I guess it was just hard knowing what everyone was doing at home and I just didn't want to miss out. But, I did have a good weekend here and the great thing about Easter is that I can celebrate the resurrection anywhere...Praise the Lord!
Friday I went to a Good Friday service with some friends from Emmanuel. People from the church that I have been attending met in the park and it was a really nice day. Someone led worship, different people read scripture, and the pastor spoke about the significance of the cross. Saturday I went to this thing called Easterfest. It is a 3 day music festival where a bunch of different Christian bands play. I got to see some neat local singer/songwriters, as well as the Newboys, which were awesome! It was fun to meet and get to know some more people from UQ, most of whom are involved in Impact, the Christian group here on campus. On Sunday I went to church and then just hung out at Emmanuel for the afternoon. My friend Allie and I made cupcakes and cookies later that day which was fun. We put food coloring in the frosting so it reminded me of decorating cookies at home. Oh and my hall did a little "Secret Easter Bunny" and gave each other little treats which were super yummy :)
