Holidays, I thought you'd never come...

I am so, so, sorry to all my friends, family who have missed my blog...(just pretend you have even if you haven't...do it for me =D) Holidays are finally here! School is over for two weeks, YES!

You know what? In the past week I probably had the opportunity to write at least three separate posts, but I wasn't up for it. Boy, was I ready for holidays! And thank-goodness you are finally here!

And summer, the heat is starting to creep in back home in Australia, thawing out the garden! The flowers are all out in bloom, the trees and bright and green, nature is at it's best right now. Thank-you Jesus for spring!

I'll have to put up some pictures soon, I've taken up photography as a hobby, well I had ages ago, but never really got into it until now. I love taking pictures of nature at it's best.

I think I have a really strange perspective on the world, I'll take a picture of the smallest thing, for example, this one day I went out and took a picture of this little weed on this step, I thought it looked pretty cute sitting there.

Anyway, I showed my dad when I downloaded them onto the computer and he was like,

"Why on earth did you take a picture of a weed?!"

So I dunno, maybe that's just me.

So yeah. I think I was due for a post, Farewell winter, sadly for you, you will not be missed...SUMMER HERE I COME. And as for you school, I think I have earned a well deserved rest, no school for two weeks! I'll enjoy every minute of it.

Memories...

I've just been looking at pictures of me and my friends and I keep on thinking how important it is to have memories. Although it's so sad to think that in the blink of an eye your moment will become your memory.


That was at the passover lunch in Year 5...how young we were...


Off to Year 6 camp, feels like years ago...


The Year 6 formal dinner at camp...you are such a corny corn *throws corn* hahaha


Shopping, hey babe, we'll always know we're to shop if we ever go to the races...


Cinta's 13th party. before she left for Vanuatu...all the girls together...

Make time for memories in your life, because before you know it time will be gone and your heart will be empty, your heritage will have nothing to show for. Make time for friends and family, because you never know when they may go. Make time for love and laughter, this is what life is all about.

Never forget where you have come from, always believe in where you can go, and in present, live life to the full, love with all you heart and laugh until your stomach hurts.

My Song

In Psalm 118:14 it says,

"The LORD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory."

I didn't know how many of you would know, but I am entering a school talent quest tomorrow (:-s) and as we were doing our family bible reading this even my eyes wandered across the page to this particular verse.

It really stuck with me for some reason. It's like, God you are MY life-song. All that I do, is you. It has all been planned and pre-destined by YOU! You are my strength, when I am weak, you are my song, AND...

He has given us the victory!!! Aren't we a blessed people. Anyway, I am entering into a school talent quest tomorrow, I am going to be playing my song...which I have written to God's glory.

Wait, wait, wait. What did I just say?

"Playing my song..."

In that verse I just shared with you it specifically said that GOD is my song. So this song that I have written from my heart is not my song but God's! This is HIS song! May it be used to honor him.

So yeah, please pray for me, that God's light will been seen through me and that this talent quest would not be about saying "Wow, she's good/bad", but will be about God, how God has been glorified through this situation.

I'll just share the words to my song with you, be blessed:

Who said that I could be forgiven?
You said, Lord, you said.
Who said that I could be made whole again?
You said, Lord, you said

As far as the east is from the west
As high as the heavens above the earth
Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us.

Who said that the enemy would be defeated?
You said, Lord, you said.
Who said that you’d fill me overflowing?
You said, Lord, you said.

As far as the east is from the west
As high as the heavens above the earth
Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us

I will praise you O God for you are Holy
I will praise you O God for you are Worthy
And I’m gonna praise You Lord
I’m gonna praise You.

As far as the east is from the west
As high as the heavens above the earth
Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us

Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us

Bored, Bored, Bored...but not THAT Bored.

Right now I am...BORED. If I could I would be on Sims 2 right now but it's chosen to break down on me...so yeah.

I'm now Facebooking, but as a like thingy-majigi (pronounced - thing-iii-maahh-jiii-giiii) on Facebook said

"Facebook is like a refrigerator, even though it's empty you keep on checking every five minutes to see if there is anything new."

So yeah...

Anyway. This whole blog is to help me fill my time...so...it's filling...

Bored...SO bored.

But since I'm doing this I'm not that, bored, anyways...I really can't think of anything else to write...

I wish I could write really long posts like I did when I was in Hong Kong, except I just really don't have anything to write about!

40 Hour Famine

Hey, I just wanted to give all my readers a warning. I'll be doing the 40 hour famine from 7:00pm this evening till 11:00am on Friday.

I'll be fasting from all computer use, (Unless I need to do something for school) and going without food.

Last year I reached my goal of $80.00, this year I'd like to get higher...over and above. But I can't do it on my own.

All will be appreciated, all is needed! Let's fight the global food crisis together! Thank-you all SO SO much.
