Its been a lovely weekend

its weird I've been so grumpy lately but this weekend i think i am coming out of my funk. I had a restful day yesterday - packing sorting and then went to the lovely Claire's birthday party. I had a great time chatting with some friends i hadn't seen in ages and hanging with Ra-ra. And Max is going to hang out with Rachelle for the summer hurrah!

Today i wasnt down to lead anything at church which was nice for a change. The morning services were fun and then we went door knocking to collect donations for Anglicare - i wasnt looking forward to it but it was actually better than i expected, its easier door knocking in the suburbs! Then a short nap followed by evening church which was fun too. I love the people at church and will really really miss them next year! A bunch of us, mostly from Bible study then went out for a drink - Dee Why was pumping!

I will find out very soon where i am working next year and looking forward to making some plans!

Yay thanks God!

Great song!

We sang this song at Church tonight and i was really encouraged by it!! YAY!

Jesus Thank You

The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend,
The agonies of Calvary.
You, the Perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son,
Drank the bitter cup reserved for me.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.

By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near,
Your enemy made Your friend.
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace,
Your mercy and your kindness know no end.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.

it begins...

well i packed a few boxes today!

And i have had 2 open houses this week at my place, poor maxie gets put in his box for 15mins. But hopefully they will find a new tenant soon, its exhausting having the house tidy all the time!

In other news i should have the job sitch sorted by the end of the week, it will be nice to know whats going on for 2010.

Also i had a very lovely evening celebrating Claire's 28th Birthday! it was a beautiful night in the Shire catching up with some people i hadn't seen in a while and chatting with friends.

now i really need to go to bed, big day of church tomorrow!

hopefully a more profound post soon!

boxes!

so i have some boxes now and must start packing! there is an open house tomorrow and much to do!

trying to gee myself up for scripture when really i just want to go back to bed.

optimism?

well i seem to have lost my previous optimism about jobs, could be that i am tired!!!!

i might go to the gym now surely the endorphins will help

Thursday Thoughts

Well here i am in the city waiting for an after college training day, I am here so early because you can never tell how long its going to take from the wilds of freshwater and the traffic gets toxic at about 8am.

Anyhoo...

The job sitch:

Have had the three chats and would really be happy with any of the jobs, they all have their good and bad points. So its hard to know what to do. I mean at this point the ball isnt really in my court, i am waiting to hear if the people want to take the next step, which will involve more interviews. so none of the jobs are in the bag.

Its a very strange position to be in, i'm so used to hoping for anything and getting myself used to the though of the worst case scenario, its odd to have a couple of good options.

So i need prayer and the wisdom of those who know me plus i actually need the job people to want me!!

Other things:
I am moving out of my place soon and so need to start packing!! Thats a scary thought. I have gone through some of my clothes and books and got rid of some things. Max and i will be downsizing to a garage for the summer, so i need to find some storage for my stuff and work out what i will need for christmas etc. Part of me would love to know what the plan for 2010 is before i pack, but it really should all be much clearer in 2 weeks.

God answers prayer...who knew!

A little job update:

I was getting stressed out and not sleeping this week and so i prayed Thursday night and finally managed to leave in Gods hands...

Friday whilst visiting old people i had 3, count em 3 calls about potential jobs!!!!

So now i have 3 chats booked in next week and still have to hear from the interview this week.

Now the chats might not go anywhere and even if they do, how to I decide what is the best one to pursue??

More prayer needed!!

2 things i hate happening soon...

1. Halloween
I hate halloween for 2 reasons, 1. Its not an Australian thing, i think it comes from us watching too much US tv. 2. it glorifies all things not good, halloween is the day before all saints day (hence all hallows eve)its a celebration of death. WE should never celebrate death, its a symptom of sin in the world and we should grieve it. The only way to beat death is by having life in Jesus not by being a vampire or a zombie. I think thats why i hate the vampire craze at the moment, a celebration of death and evil and all things anti God.

2. Melbourne Cup day
I dont like Melbourne cup day because its become a national holiday, its even a public holiday in VIC, why? so we can watch a horse race. Now i'm not anti horses etc but its the celebration of Gambling and the preocupation with all things trivial, fashion, drinking too much and wasting money gambling. There are so any other good things to celebrate - why do we focus on getting drunk and spending money frivolously?

Ok rant over!

moving again...

as i have posted before i will be finishing up at my job at the end of the year and hopefully have somewhere new and exciting to go.. (had a job interview, which i muffed a bit on tuesday, and sent a few emails too)

But the real news is i have decided to break my lease and move out, there is a lovely lady from church who has a garage flat i will live in for december before i go to finners for Christmas.

So if you want a 2 bedroom flat in Freshwater message me!

2010 is still a big mystery..praying for contentment!

pump up songs!

So I have been attempting to be a good little bunny and go to the gym and exercise a bit more, especially since i got given 3 months membership and the diggers gym for my birthday.

I have been attempting to work up to running on the treadmill but what i find i need are good songs!

So dear interweb, i need your suggestions what songs should i download from itunes to put on my ipod and rock the treadmill with....


ps speaking of bunnies there are lots of rabbits around freshie, i see them when i go walking and they are fun to watch running in and out of the shrubs at the gym!

crybabies?

It occurs to me that at the last 2 weddings i have been at the best man has cried when giving his speech...bromance??
