Who knew campus ministry work would be so busy. I don't want to say that I am swamped since I am trying to adjust to working like this, but golly I have a lot on my plate for the next week. I just hope I can get everything done and done in a way that is very productive. I am in charge of certain activities for the school celebration next week.
This afternoon the other group and I played the varsity volleyball team in a friendly match. Well we did okay, they beat us in sets, at least we won at least one of them. I think they secretly let us beat them. I enjoy being able to block some of the spikes, they were honestly afraid to spike because we were so tall. However, a game like this can also be a learning experience. When I play pick up games like this I play to have fun, but when it turns into a way of people trying to be the coach and wanting us to play like professionals that's when it no longer becomes fun. So we don't set it up, it's not the end of the world.
One of the things I had to adjust to was how the 'Our Father' is prayed because the Filipinos say it completely different then we do in the states. So I thought I would show it so everyone can see how we pray the Lord's Prayer.
How we pray it in the States:
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
How it is prayed in the Philippines:
Our Father, in Heaven,
Holy be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
As we forgive those who sinned against us.
And do not bring us to the test,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
