PERTH!

Well I probably wont be blogging for a little while, i'm off to Perth for a week to celebrate my Nan's 90th Birthday



She is a lovely Godly woman and I cant wait to see her, my last remaining grandparent!

Its going to be a bit of an intense family time, I'm staying with My uncle, Aunt and Cousin with my sister Deb and her little boy Alex. Mum and dad are round the corner with Nan and Jen and Ben and the Kids are a little further away in Scarborough!

But it should be fun, my lovely Cousin Hayley is a hairdresser, and will probably do our our hair! And Deb is looking forward to shopping at Warwick Grove Westfield!

see you next week!

I read a great book...in the middle of the night!

So Monday night i woke at 3am and couldnt get back to sleep so i decided to read. I recently bought this book:




It was Awesome, its basically her autobiography of being a young woman minister. I found it really encouraging. She was also the inspiration behind The Vicar of Dibley. I enjoyed reading the story of a young woman ( like me) who believes in taking a leadership role in the church (like me) and who is an evangelical (like me). She ends up marrying Jim Wallis, the guy who writes lots of stuff on christianity and politics. It was just encouraging!

Go give it a read...i got it on amazon and can lend you it if you want!

the most moving thing about Equip today...

Well I went to Equip with some people from church today. It was good, the talks were on Esther and i went to a seminar on depression. It was great to get to know some of the women form church.

But the most moving thing about the day was watching the Auslan signers. There was a group of hearing impaired people there and they had 3 women signing for them. The coolest thing was when they were all singing. It was so cool!

he he he!

I saw this book on the bookshelf at church, oh i laughed!

Smuts!

Mum comes to town!

Mum made an unexpected visit to sydney this week, she came up tuesday and left yesterday. Dad finally finished his MD thesis and needed it bound and handed in. so mum was doing that and driving it up to newcastle.

WE had a lovely time together, on thursday, my day off we did some errands and then shopped and got pedicures!

The funny this is Max really does not like mum! he is such a grump! hissing a her, but she just laughs and give him a squeeze :)

the bounty?

Well i harvested some more things from my sorry looking veggie patch, more peas! yay! and carrots, well the carrots were a bit of a dud, the soil probably wasnt the best so the grew short and fat!
