I got red hair extensions!

It's been a while since I've blogged. Life's been so busy and exciting! I got a new job as a telemarketer (I'm not sure if that's the right word for it) but it's good cos i'll be working with a few friends from church (who got me the job there) so there's about five of us who can't work there on tuesday and friday nights :P
This is the last weekend our church will be held at ECU as we will be moving into our new building. I'm soo excited! On Monday I helped out at our new building by pinging chalk. So if you ever see the STOMP room and see the two different colours on the walls just remember those two colours wouldn't have been there if I haven't helped create the line to separate them :D (and the credit goes to two other people too heh). Every time I walk into our new building it feels like home! I could just see so many wonderful things happening there! Miracles! Salvations! Break-throughs! Life-lasting friendships being formed! Marriages! (including my own) etc. So watch out Northern suburbs as we take it to the next level!!!!
Last night I went to Just For Her, a women's conference with the guest speaker being Nancy Alcorn. It was an awesome night! I wished every woman and girl I know could've been there! She is an amazing woman of God and a great speaker with a good message, I cried many times (but then again I'm emotional and cry easily but still it was a very moving night). We're so blessed to have her (it is her first visit to WA) oh and I get to listen to her again this Friday night and Sunday morning!
At the moment I'm kinda worried about how I am going to organise my time. Well I know one thing, I have to. I have to organise my time to fit in church, kung fu, two jobs and a little bit of a social life (I hardly have time to see a lot of my friends anymore, some I haven't seen for months!) And that's just for now, what about when uni starts???
It seems that nowadays a lot of people seem to have the topic of relationships in their minds. You know, past relationships, current relationships and future ones. It seems that I'm one of the only ones who don't, which is a good thing because then I can listen to others talk about theirs. Most of the relationships talked about are boy-girl relationships. I still stand by my belief that you will not be happy in a relationship (as in boyfriend girlfriend thing) unless you're happy with your relationship with God, and happy with yourself. Many times have I seen the wrong relationships ruin people, take over their lives, pull them away from God, change them and even take away their own identity. Like Nancy Alcorn said we do not need somebody to make us whole, as we are already whole in Jesus Christ.

The Legend of the Harley Davidson

Whack!

:)

Last night and this morning I got back into Kung fu. It's been a few weeks since I've done it and man it's hard! I'm all sore and cut up! (accidentally stabbed self with sword last night, but it's only a little cut) and I've lost some flexibility, other than that it was fun! It's great being on holdiays! I might be getting a new job soon ( many people seem to be getting new jobs nowadays).
Wow you should've seen the rain today! I was on the freeway and it was pouring! My wipers were going at full speed and i still couldn't see a thing and all the cars slowed to 60. And that's that

Rejecting God

"It has been estimated that in the last 4000 years there have been less than 300 without a major war." ---Where was God on September 11? By John Blanchard
This was a book I've just finished reading. I just felt like bringing that point up. Isn't it sad though? That's just an example of what happens when people reject God. When we were created we were all given free will and we have to make the choice, accept or reject God. When bad things happen often people ask where was God? why did he let it happen? why would a loving God allow something like this to happen? All this is explained in the book. Read it

End of exams!

Tonight was my second time at culture group and we had it at my house :) Everytime I'm with people from my church I just feel so blessed and thankful that I know and am surrounded by these people. Another thing I love about my church is how multi-cultural it is. I can honestly say I've never been to a place as multicultural as Sunset Coast. Actually I've never been to a place as awesome as Sunset Coast! And since I've started serving life has just been amazing! It's like being on a rollercoaster ride that keeps going up! Life is great and it keeps getting better and better! There probably has been some downs but they always turn into ups. Lately miracles have happened, families been united, prayers answered etc. And I had my last exam today WOO! I think that word pretty much sums it up: WOO! and I got my hair done and it looks HOT! hee hee

My mum, my brother

I really admire my mum. To have an autistic son like my brother. She's one of the most amazing and strong people I know! Some people can't even deal with being near a person like Shane for a few moments, yet mum has been there for him throughout his entire life. She has loved him, given all she can for him even though he has been and still is difficult to control and handle. She has taught him to read and write when the doctors said it wasn't possible. She has disciplined him for his bad (and sometimes offensive) behaviour, which can be nearly everyday. She oversees his health and hygiene and overall well-being, inlcuding little things like brushing his teeth or washing his face. Even now I find Shane hard to handle, physically, emotionally and mentally.
So I'm praying that God will strengthen me, because one day, the day when my parents depart for heaven, my sister and I will have to take care of him. That's another thing as well, I would never be with a guy who cannot accept my brother. Like my mum always tells me 'if he's marrying you he's marrying your brother too.'
My brother Shane is my inherritance. And what a blessed one too! We're so blessed to have him. My parents came from homes with very little love yet in a way Shane taught them unconditional love. They have loved him and my sister and I. Shane has also taught us patience and tolerance (and much more), which is an area which I am struggling with at the moment (but working on with God's help!).
So we thank the Lord for Shane. Some may see him as a burden but we see him as a blessing!

First Blog Ever

Well I decided to start a blog because I'm running out of pages in my journal, and also my typing is faster than my writing. I also really felt the need to put my thoughts and feelings down, possibly where someone ese can read them, plus since reading Anna, Ruth and Hwin's blogs I've been toying with the idea of starting one of my own for a while now but didn't think it was my kinda thing. Until last night I was writing something in my journal which I got really emotional over and thought, 'how great would it be to share this with someone else?' I thought of making that journal entry the first post, besides this one...
