...hectic as buggery-bop...
Tuesday, October 26
what is the world coming to? that seems a silly question though, coz we all know the answer and so it's a stupid question...
but seemingly there are many a thing that aint working quite right in both the blogging/web world and the real world. like i can't read any comments whatsoever - not on my blog or anyone else's. and my hotmail account does not particularly like me right at the mo (although i do enjoy having extra storage room - thankyou hotmail!). my dad's car broke down. the electricians are currently destroying my bedroom. sat in a queue (that doesn't look like the right spelling sorry) of cars waiting for 10minutes th'smorn while road workers stood around leaning on shovels and holding lollypop signs. and i've already eaten 2 chocolate bars already.
i also find it quite strange that a servo in north narrabeen was selling unleaded for 114.9c/L, while the caltex in belrose was selling at 102.9c/L AND i got a 4cent discount... so neeerrrrr to pittwater petrol stations!
i'm so dissappointed that i missed viggo mortensen's birthday last thursday - 'twas the day after courty's, so happy birthday Courty and Viggo!
man i had so much fun with courty yesterday. got to her place at 8:45am to pray for the maths exam, then drove us to the exam. after a lovely 3hr blank-minded caffufle of attempting to remember formulae and how to use them, courty and i shjoomed back to courty's where we sat infront of her tv for 6hrs watching courty's junior ballet concert and old seachange episodes, whilst stuffing ourselves with chocolate, pizza and whatever else we could manage to devour. 'twas good. and the best part is that i don't feel guilty coz i reckon we deserved a vege and chill out session.
i just got a msg from sally irwin saying that bible study would not be on tonight - bugger coz i really like bible study. maybe i'll go to another group's tonight then. hmmm i think i shall. maybe i shalln't though as i would not like to encroach on the community of another group. like if someone not from yr 12 came to our group, it could possibly be quite awkward since there are so many bonds and understandings within our group and we're all going through the hsc together and i dunno. but i like new people, and i love how chez is now gracing us with her presence. shame that leech, scott, ben and kirsty hardly ever come and beck's now decided she doesn't want to come along any more. but i love our group and i love seeing how Jesus has touched each person's lives and how He continues to bless them and work in them. and i love how sally and gavin and james and jess have completely opened their house, time and prayers up for us. it excites me to see a whole family going for God. Like the ives, bannings, freemans and buckleys - i think it's phenominal! it gives me tingles.
to think that a family can give such love, support and encouragement to eachother. i think i'm so blessed that my parents did sent me along to sunday school and that when i was little, and they still support me now even though they don't understand why i get involved in the things i do. even if they do it to keep me out of mischief, i'm still so absolutely thankful that they don't discourage me.
i guess i've always had the attitude that i'm so unfortuned to not have christian parents and i guess a bit envious that i could see so many friends of mine being upheld by their christian parents' prayers and biblical knowledge/encouragement. but hey, i'm alright and i'm surviving in my christian walk, and in a way maybe not having that support has made me stronger. i'm constantly stumbling and my self-control is appauling, but i'm getting there. and maybe the challenge that this has been is actually God's way of preparing me for other things. no actually i'm sure of it.
and it's encouraging that i really do have a family of bros and sis's in Christ that do love me and are praying for me constantly. i'm so astounded by how much st steves has pulled together and blessed the yr12s and others doing hsc this year incredibly. so many people have been sending us messages, cards, emails and whatnot encouraging us and telling that they're praying for us. I just found some messages in my inbox from steve stanis, in which after some funny (or not so funny depending) jokes, contained the encouraging bible verses from:
"The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." (Isaiah 58:11)
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." (2 Tim. 4:7)
in other news, i think that maybe perhaps i've been chucking a rachel (showing coin slot) for a good hour whilst sitting at this computer in my school library. oops.
i have plenty more to write, but suddenly i've forgotten. maybe later.
