Catch Up
Whoa I spose there is so much to catch up on.. there really is...
During the Summer Break, I managed to go to Whangamata twice! it was totally awesome! The first time i was there my brother and I tagged along with an Auckland Youthgroup on their beach mission.. It was an amazing life building experience.. I learned so much 'bout God that i think will prepare me for the year maybe even the YEARS ahead! It was mostly stuff bout stepping out of my comfort zones, praying hard out, worshiping hard out and fully doing His will. We walked around in teams talking to people, most if not all drunk and/or stoned.. On the first night we talked to some guys who were all like satanic death metal wannabe's who were only talking to us because they wanted to prove us wrong- our faith in Jesus- but by the time we had finished talking to them i felt like we had gotten through to them and we prayed and stuff.. it was TOTALLY amazing! I also met some fantastic people- big HELLO'S to Lisa and Joy btw! Who all encouraged me so much!
The second time i went there i was with my friend Monique, and by the time we were there the whole towns atmosphere had changed and it was also all together a different experience-alot more relaxed and fattening.. lol.. i learned heaps bout my friend and yea totally enjoyed her time and company. Although we did manage to get WAY too sunburntwhich was totally fun.. how often do u honestly get to wear a bikini at the beach? like its kinda too ew to wear a bikini infront of your family.. it was absolutely fantastic! o! and of course the many camps i went to to help out- one included the awesomest food fight that caused me to get marmite ALL over my face, flavoured sour cream all in my hair and clothes and a fair spread of peanut butter, yupp i smelt pretty bad after wards!
My holidays were pretty fun! They went too fast for my liking even though they were 2 months!! YAY.. and back to school- so unfortunate, but getting back in tune is all good i spose-even though atmosphere sucks.. lol.. and aargh its challenging.. but yea.. i think everything will be all good.. because God is good and friends are good and in general life is good im sure :)
