Cousins death

My cousin Conor died today. He was only seven years old. He has all sorts of illnesses like cerebal palsay and hydrocephalus. He was pretty much a vegetable all his life. I am glad his pain is over but sad for the family. He was an identical twin. He had 5 brothers and sisters who now dont have him there. Kinda lost on words today.

Todays service

Church was good ths morning. Sandra spoke clearly on the judgement of Christ and how he will separate to the left and to the right. Last night we watched a video interview of Bono from U2 being interviewed by the pastor of Willow Creek church. It was regarding the same piece of scripture and definately got me thinking about his i serve those around me and in the world. Jesus said 'what you do unto the least of these so you do unto me.' Thats a pretty strong comment to focus on. How we treat those around us Jesus said we are treating him. We have to remember these things when we are serving others daily in every action taken and word spoken. Rather than thinking 'what would Jesus think?' im going to try to adopt the thought patter of... 'what if that person were Jesus'?

Aafke

My my! Dont we look intelligent! This is the lovely Aafke who has gone back to Holland and left us all alone! BOO HOO!!!! But not to worry , as she is coming to visit soon! HOORAY!!!!

Dont even ask me what Josh is doing, he is such a nugget! Very strong in God and a great guy to work with. Waldir (pronounced valjeer) is a very cool dude who is excellent at speaking and teaching.

Mark VB

Mark VB is probably one of the funniest guys on the planet and he is also psychotic! Ive never known anyone to do so many dangerous things and call it 'fun'.

Dungeon pic

This is the long awaited picture of Bryony and i in the dungeon! WOOH!! Happy memories!

This is a photo of me and Bryony. She has gone back to New Zealand and i miss her loads. We are on the roof having coffee on the morning that she left. I love going up on the roof but the weather recently has made it a bit less enjoyable due to all the rain.

Yo!

Well well well! Good day all round. Had some excellent conversationg with Josh about Church, God and poloticts! Was a good way to get through time share cleaning.
But on another note........Lorraine (my sis) called me but i missed her call. I phoned her back and mum answered! She sounded good and jolly. She quickly gave the phone to Ashley (like she didnt want to talk to me incase i asked her anything! lol) and it was great hearing her lovely wee voice. She was so excited to hear from me! She asked loads of questions and i just loved talking to her. She is the coolest niece in the universe and has made this day special. Im so incredibly blessed to be a part of her precious life. Katie is still a chunkey monkey and Cara is weighing around 5lbs and will be getting out of hospital next week! Thats a whole month early because she is doing so well. What an obvious intervention of God! She isnt supposed to be getting out until the end of November but she is doing brilliantly so she can get out early. God is awesome!

The latest news from Po-ville!!!

Well well well! Where should i start on the happenings in my life? Im not entirely sure so i shall just ramble on and see what comes out.
Still no news from my mother but im trusting God to deal with that and im not reacting like i feel she wants me to. god is much bigger and stronger. He can see the begining and the end of all this so its better off left with Him.
Josh and i did a lil bible study on Malachi 1:6-14. OUCH! My word! Sair yin! But very very true and something we should remember while going about our daily tasks as everything we do shoud be a suitable sacrifice to the almighty king. Who would you find it easier to sacrifice for? God or a friend? This question got a good few people involved. As they were going past they ended up getting involved and joining in.
Time out was awesome! Excellent team and even better children. The backlight was excellent on making the cross stand out and they all loved the barbecue at the end as well.

mail

Still no letter.

today!!

Had a great day today. Church at Nethy was brilliant! Alans dad was a guest speaker and he talked about the bridesmaids making sure they were prepared for when the bridegroom came. He went into detail regarding the fact that others thought they would be able to get through on the faith of others but they obviously didnt know the bridegroom or else they would have made sure they had enough oil.
I also went river kayacking for the first time ever. I absolutely loved it. It was brilliant being on the water. The choppy waves were excellent fun and i got soaked (tho didnt fall in! yay me!) but i didnt care. Mark was a good teacher as there were a few of us there for the first time.
Afterwards i went to Stellas for dinner. We had a lovely roast lamb with all the trimmings! It was nice spending time away from the centre with people who are excellent fun and love the Lord.
This week im on Time Out. This is what being here is all about for me. I love everything about it! I love watching the kids have an awesome time and being able to share the gospel with them. The team is a pretty good one. Stuart, Alan, Scotty Mac and ME!
I head home on Friday and i cant wait! Im very excited about seeing everyone again, even if its only for a short time.

letter?

Letter? letter?
where for art thou letter?

Was she lying to mess with my head?

Did she send one at all?

Well if she did lie to mess with my head then it worked.

Im trying to trust in God but i cant stop wondering why she would text me to say theres an important letter sent for me but still it hasnt arrived. Im not going to contact her until it comes. Im coming home in a few days but i am not going near my family as i dont htink that would be too good just now. I dont know what she is playing at but it is upsetting me.

Im so glad i have a loving Heavenly Father who will help me through.

Update

Loads has happened since i last updated this but the computer was down for a bit and i was too busy.
Sandra is back! YAAY!! So its nice having her around again. The team fellowship was separated into two groups. All the women were together and had a good time. It gave me a chance to talk to some people that i hadnt in a while.
Im coming home a week on Friday! WOOP WOOP! Tho i might have written about that already? I dunno.
Im doin time out with Stuart, Alan and Scott MAc next week so im definately looking forward to that.
Fusion last Friday was immense! Jen was in Newcastle so i gave a word at the end and it all went well. The kids had an excellent time and the message linked well with the activities planned.
I helped out at 7-11 on Tuesday as well as they were short staffed due to man-flu. It was an excellent laugh and made me miss The Source a whole big heap!
My mum sent me a text saying she had posted an important letter to me and she hoped i got it soon. That was three days ago and it hasnt arrived yet.
Too tired to write any more but just know that i am having a good time and God is better than toast with chocolate spread!
