yea the past two times I have tried to enter something in my blog my computer just shut down! My apologies.
Well, yester day was a great day. My mum had taken a day off work to spend the last day of the holidays with us. Unfortunately my brother didnt kno and had made plans to go out for the day with his girlfriend. And by morning my friend called me asking for emotional support. So I spent the morning with him. We had bailed outon mum after all the effort she went through to just be with us. :(
At the place where my friend was I realised how blessed I was to be able to talk to my mum about whatever, to readily and comfortably have a relationship with her, do stuff with her.
So after I had finished with my friend I went with mum and spent the rest of the afternoon with her. I shopped and bought fabric. Then we shared lunch at KFC- the twisters are delicious btw. And I helped her make two gorgeous cushions which I gave to my cousin this morning as a Birthday present.
Any ways... my point is that we never really realise all that Mum does for us! Specially toward mothers day I know I always just tend to brush over it thinking 'meh' you kno just another day.. but its so not like that. Mum I would like to thankyou for all tht you have done for me.. I could not ask for a better mum. Thankyou for always going out of your way to understand me and care for me. I love you lots

We are All on A Journey
WE ARE ALL ON A JOURNEY!!
one that may lead us to certain death and destruction, loneliness, unbearable pain with no one presesnt to comfort us ORRRR one that may lead us to pure bliss, perfect happiness, self esteem, gloriusness and more!!! but the question is... which route do I take?
I have the answer here for you..
* If you want Pure Bliss and happiness, if you want to experience the most joy you have ever felt then your answer is Jesus! Accept Him into your life and follow Him daily, then its a 100000% garuntee that your eternity will be fully of joy.. The road is small, windy and difficult but you will surely be rewarded!... BUT
*If you are after spending your eternity and the rest of your life in damnation then its quite easy, all you have to do is deny the true Father, the maker of all creation. Conform to the worlds views. Lve life like there has never been tomorrow, and it is sure that you will suffer and cry out in pain, whilst no one will hear you!
My friends, the reason why I am letting you know all this is because our end is near!! All the bad stuff that happen in the world is because of sin, all the wrong stuff we do. Because of all the bad stuff we do eg. lying, stealing,rape,murder,war, we become imperfect! And because we are imperfect we cannot be with God which was His initial intention for us to be with Him. In order for us to be made 'perfect' again Sin requires, death, blood. Hence the reason why so many people made sacrifices. But these sacrifices could only have been of the purest form. Eg. A lamb it has done no wrong, no evil. it has no deformity. I guess God knew what was to come, so He promised us a Saviour, someone who would take all that away from us, someone who would wash all our stupidity and imperfectness away. And that was Jesus. He was perfect, he never did any wrong, he was and IS Gods Son. When He died for us he took upon him all the rubbish and evil deeds we do today and have done.. He took on EVERYONES blame, just so that we may be saved and able to live with our Father.. So why deny that? Why slap him back in the face and reject his awesome gift?? Think about it....

Weeeeeeird Happenings..
Yupp, yesterday I started this update, but my brother came and exited it out of the programme, so I lost all that I had typed..(gutted) My point however for this 'issue' was going to be about trusting friends.
See I was in town yesterday and something catastrophically weird happened, but if I described it to you, you would accuse me of being loopy, insane, mental, sinile.. and would probbably consider in putting me in a mental institute.. so I wont say what happened.
But to get through it we (my group of friends and I), had to really trust my friend, which in the end none of us really did... and we got into BIG trouble..So I thpught that I would just have to emphasize once more how important it is to trust your friends!! -Huh! What a cliche- YEa yea i kno.. but if you dont have trust in oneanother then what is your relationship based upon?? MAterialistic things? Trust, and being trustworthy are HUGE virtues that we should focus upon to maybe make this world a better place!

A hidden Clock Shop
Upon having come across an old letter, written by my very special girlfriend, i decided to invite her to a cup of coffee in a small town bout an hour away from where we live, of course my mum would drive us. And so we started our day. My friend is homeschooled and so does not have as much exploitation as i do. But that does not stop our conversation- well conversation that we had.
The ride to this touristy picturisque town was quiet, and we did not really talk alot but i know that despite this we have a very strong bond and silently communicated our deepest thoughts.
When we arrived we could not decide of what cafe to stop at, so we did some window browsing instead. You would never expect that a hidden old-fashioned looking clock shop could challenge you to have such awe and amasement, to find such inspiration as we did. It was my friends first encounter with an old grandfather clock, and the first time that i ever took notice of the intricate detail that was beheld in it. And thus I realised that this could be a great example for when meeting new people. They may seem dull and boring on the outside, but if you look at the person carefully(get to know them not judge them etc) then you'll notice the intricate beauty and detail that they can share with you. They will open up to you and show you their beautifull design (im not meaning this in the sexual way but as in they will become honest with you and help you in your time of need and maybe expose their sincere difficulties that theyre dealing with) - To imagine, all from a clock shop.
There were more modern looking clocks of course which were also appealing to the eye. Maybe more well liked, more abstract and more fashionable, but i still came to the conclusion that these modern clocks would not bring the same fascination to a child than a grandfathers clock or a cookoo clock.
Why a childs interest? Because children as innocent as they are see things in a different more metaphysical way, they trust more, nothing can be bad or wrong to the eye. And its the truely wonderful things that excite them!
I dont know what my girlfriend thought of all this but i suspect she enjoyed it. Our cafe outing was brilliant, good food, great coffee though I can't say that braces made it easy to eat :(
We had a very pleasant day finishing it off with a wonderfully fairytale like movie.
Good friends are rare but true friends are even rarer!

Camp KCC
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!Next week i'll be having the opportunity to go to Karakariki Christian Camp. I have not been to a kids camp in ages, so am really looking forwad to that. I am also looking forwad to Term 2 of the school year, I kno that it will be busy! - Theatre Sports, Shaspeare Comp, Hockey (man do i suck!)Book Club, Extremely Friday (5.30-8pm fri night www.hamsouthbaptist.co.nz ) wahoo... as well as the usual range of activities..
A few weeks ago I went to Wellyton, where my Dad had his life long dream come true, when he saw Neil Diamond live in concert. The city was a really different experience. the people i found were predominatly REALLY snobby!! And it was packed! O well.. Yea well hope you guys have a great week..
The Irony
Funny how in life you just go about your daily business..
And sometimes you think life is so short, sometimes you think that life is so long. You can just never be satisfied in your current situation. - the grass is always greener on the other side. It reminds me of a blonde joke my dad once told me. You wouldnt think that a stereotyped blonde could be used in a provocative conversation, but it can! "two blondes were standing on the side of the road. they walked across the road. then one blonde said to the other, 'I thought you said that we'd be on the other side?'
'Yeah.... we are..'
'No we're not the other side is over there!!' (pointing to the side they had just come from)"
Personally i don't think that the joke is all too funny but it does make me think that no matter who you are, there is always going to be something that seems so much better than what you already have. So you will strive to reach that success that goal, that achievment. But after busting your butt for so long the place where you came from suddenly seems so better.
Why is this? Why can't we be happy for what we have? Everything that is given to us is from God, His gifts are what we have. Lets just be satisfied, because sometimes your patch of grass is alot greener than what you may think!
