Dodgem Car Derby

Hi there show lovers

This weeks post is a little all over the place i guess. There has been kinda a lot going on in the last week or 2.

Firstly, Next week marks the end of my first year of tertiary study. WooHoo!!!! Almost done. Things have been a bit hectic in the final dash to get major assignments over and done with. I am almost there. I chose to do an assignment on Mel Gibson's film of The Passion of the Christ. Can I jsut say that after watching hte movie 4 times in 3 days, I have no desire to ever see that movie again. So it is with a study fried brain I write to you today so if my ramblings seem a little illegible, I apologise.

There hasn't been any play so far in the cricket today due to rain. This is a little dissappointing as I like to move my laptop downstairs and have the cricket goign in the background while I study and write papers. So today's studying has been a little less exciting... but i guess that is bound to happen once in a while.

I am kinda getting used to the weather down here. it's beginning to get a little too hot for my likings, but it's not as bad as QLD heat so i will cope.

Church life is good. I am really enjoying being apart of a church family again. Sarah and I met with Carl, the worship and creative arts pastor a couple of weeks ago to discuss our involvement in the worship team which will begin at the beginning of next year. I am also meeting with mark, the youth pastor next week to discuss being apart of the church's youth ministry team. Things are exciting. I am really looking forward to what the new year is going to bring.

Still dont' have any work for next year yet. If you could be in prayer abotu that for me htat would be much appreciated. Sarah finishes at austraining at the end of January and I need to have work by then so we can survive. lol. I know that god has it totally in control though and he will provide everything that we need. But yoru prayers can't hurt :)

ok, must away and return to my studies...

love you all and remember to stay tuned

Fairy Floss Land

Hey there show folk...

Just a quick little note to tell you a little about a thought I had today while I was daydreaming... How cool would it be to live in a place called fairy floss land!!! Lots of fairy floss and drinks... all of that yummy show food and stuff. It would be soooo much fun...

anyways...

Back to reality where fairy floss land doesn't exist, but cavities and fillings do :)

When the going gets rough, punch harder!

Greetings to you all.

Well it's time once more for an episode of my life, which on the titles of some of my other posts is beginning to feel like an amusement park, so I might stick with that in the future...

ok, onto more serious matters....

Isn't it strange how when you take a blind step and trust in what God has asked you to do, things somehow just 'work out'? I find it a really bizarre thing... I guess I probably shouldn't - the whole faith thing and everything. But the truth of it all is, I do. it constantly amazes me how God continues to bless and look after me and my family. Sure sometimes, actually a lot of the time, it can be quite tough, but somehow at the end of it all, it's all good.

A lot of the time it's hard to do what God wants me to do... well it's hard for me anyway. Sometimes I don't want to do what he wants me to do, sometimes I want to do what he doesn't want me to do. It's a never ending cycle. but, in the end, when I follow His way, something good happens.

God has been working on a lot of areas in my heart recently. It has been quite difficult at times. He has been challenging me a lot about my attitudes towards certain ideas, and more importantly, certain people that I know. It may take me some time, but I know that in the end, there will be something good install. Even if there is nothing tangible there, I will have the feeling of peace in knowing that God has healed me and helped me grow in my walk of life.

Please pray for me in my journey of faith with God that I may continue to learn of His ways and walk with him.

Stay Tuned
