Papers, Mario Kart & serving God

This week here at Redeemer has been a busy week for all. Many are trying to get papers done, studying for quizzes, and doing big projects. I finished my History and my English paper this week, thanks to the Writing Centre for editing my papers. The Writing Centre here is a real blessing. It is a place where students can go to get help on assignments and to learn how to properly write papers in the proper format (formats like MLA, Chicago Style, etc.) and to get papers edited.

In my dorm this week we have had two significant events. This past Tuesday, November 25, we celebrated Dorm Christmas. We had decided as a dorm to celebrate Christmas a full month early because we won't be here on the actual Christmas day. We did a secret santa gift exchange, each guy spending 10-15 dollars on their person, just something fun and it was a bonding time. We had a sweet dinner and then when 10:30 came around we had the other significant event. Mario Kart Tournament. It can't get any better. We had an awesome time playing an organized tournament with our dorm with the winner signing the T-shirt that my RA's RA had in first year. This tournament a 1st year student took the win. It was sweet!

On Wednesday I had the opportunity to organize dorm devotions. I did devotions on the topic of 'Serving'. I have found lately that I would love to be more involved in the community at Redeemer and in Ancaster and Hamilton. According to God, we have no excuse not to follow the call of serving. So right now, I am praying and waiting for God to show me where I am to serve. I know that I can make a difference in this community with God on my side!
