This week was really personalised. The meeting started a bit late and we ended up finishing quiet late too :) something like 9:00pm hehehhe. But we had fun.
Today we got out of the norm and thought of trying something different. Cause when I got there. There was only Homer and Me (Jason). So we just waited around for somepeople to turn up. No one did but we still waited :) hehehe... But we didn't waste time while we waited. We looked through the cupboard to find things that we could potentially use in the future for our Rosary meetings or any meeting basically :)....
To our suprise we found more prayer books hehehe.... Prayer books that we otherwise ignored cause we dont usually have much time to go through the cupboard. Or there are too many people around and it just doesnt feel right. Anyway.. We found a prayer book that actually had all the prayers that we prayed at the Rosary...
Usually and when I say
usually I mean a few years now... We've been doing the Rosary and have always left new members confused as to which page we are on the book... But this new book we found actually had the prayers such as "
MEMORARE" that we were missing in the past.. The old book did not have this prayers... also we were missing the "Prayer to St Michael.. Which to our suprise this new book has .... With the help of this book we should not be having much problems.... We only need to divise a sheet that would help us intergrate the two books together while we pray :)......
Homer has been courtious and said that he'd either divise a sheet or he would actually go through the trouble of typing the entire Rosary manually for us .... and he would just create a single sheet for us with all the decades in them for our convienence and to avoid confusion.... Thank you Homer for doing that.....
Another thing that we did differently this week was that we actually prayed the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary... There are basically five different mysteries in the rosary. We are supposed to pray the Sorrowful every Friday but we've been praying that one too many times already so we thought of having something different this night.... We personalised our prayers this week for our CLP participants and also to include our past members and current members.... I personally missed our past members alot last night.... Just a vivid flash back...
NEXT
We had our Bible discussion group.... This week we didnt really do any bible discussion... infact we just stayed around to think how we could improve our current meeting... a little group development activity by me and Homer hehehehe..... We've been having these development brain stomers for years now with little or no results... I guess we kind of just forget about all the ideas that we had come up with.... Would be a good idea to have a centeralised point were notes can be maintained about past discussions... so that the next stage which is planning and implementation can be reached to.... And then there is the evaluation stage hehehe..... All coming out straight from my Marketing Strategy text book lol....
Moving on we actually throught of looking through the question box that our sister Natalia had designed for us... Just after going through some of the questions I once again had a flash back of all those meeting that we had... We simply forgot to get the answers to any of those questions...
Moving along... Thats life for us new things come up and we forget about old things... I now realise that maybe those questions might have been really important to some of the people who had asked them in the first place... Maybe we should get the answers to those questions... And as my friend Homer suggested we might be able to have them on our newsletter or even our Catholics on Campus website... We can only then hope that the person who had orignally asked them may find the answer though either one of these sources...
Oh and then we suddenly had
Lin turn up from no where hehehe... Me and Homer had just stood up and were about to pack the Bibles and Prayer books to head to my place to work on his
Christian Life Program talk for tomorrow and to test the sutiability of my laptop to actually see if his powerpoint presentation works out... But we actually could not get to that.... Because I somehow dominated the meeting and poured my heart out.... I started talking about old times in the group and just when I was back home this summer (
my internship and how fruitful it is now even though it didnt seem so back then) and career and how much I'm confused and lost and have no idea where I'm heading and the delimas in my life .... I realised that I'm somewhat similar to everyone else... its just that I have not been spending alot of time thinking about solutions to all these problems... as these problems have very simple solutions.... glad that I have friends like Homer and Lin to lift me up when I was feeling kind of down yesterday....
With this I come to the end of my post for this week... I need to be heading off to the CLP program and next I need to be doing my assignment cause I dont want to let my group mates down.... I'm a little afraid cause I'm not sure about what I'm doing but I'm sure God will help me out... He always does :-)
