Well today is a momentous day, After today i will be in my thirties...and actually i'm feeling pretty good about it,
I am happy with my life, i have a great God, fantastic family, lovely friends and a fabulous church family.
Sure there are things i would like to be different, when i was growing i never imagined i would be single at 30, living with my cat and looking at being unemployed in 3 months. I'd love to have a hubby, kids and the lot but I am happy with my lot, I am content. And i can only thank God for that.
The thirties look ok, i would like a job though, anyone know of any ministry jobs going?

time flies....again!
Well i just had to have that rant about being hot and now i am ready to fill you in on the last 3 weeks.
I didnt get to go on many more walks until this week because i went to a wedding in Maitland and then had an operation.
First the wedding...Troy and Laura some friends from my old church in Beaconsfield have moved to maitland and it was my great pleasure to be involved in the wedding service.
The Church in Telarah has a different churchmanship to what I am used to but it was interesting to participate in an Anglo-catholic service. I had to robe and it was VERY hot! but i felt more sorry for the minister Katherine, she had more robes on that i did.
I was so pleased to be able to do the introduction...the whole dearly beloved we are gathered here today... it made me feel like a real minister!! I also did a little sermon on Romans 12 which was fun and it seemed well recieved!
Troy and Laura both shed a few tears...troy more than Laura i think :)
So drove back to sydney that night after speeches and dessert so i could be at church the next day...exhausted much!
Then the operation...
Mum came up to look after me which was lovely! AWWW i love my mummmy :) It was laproscopic so i only had to stay over night which was good and almost a week on i'm feeling pretty good. I have to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and then purees for 2 weeks...i'm a little sick of drinking but its ok :)
I go back to work tonight for Bible Study which i am looking forward to, I missed church on sunday which i needed to do but i miss everyone!
On that note Terry (my boss) announced at Church that I am finishing at the end of the year and that the new Guy (marc Gilbert) is starting at the end of January. so i have been pondering jobs... there isnt much going but i refuse to worry about it. worse case scenario, i move to Finley or Wagga and get a job doing anything or work in aged care 5 days until something comes up. At least i get to be with my family at christmas and for my new niece or nephews birth.
oh so thats enough ranting for now, i'll try to be a bit more regular with the posting!

do i live where it is beautiful or what???

Here are a few snaps i took on my phone this morning...
Here are a few snaps i took on my phone this morning...
Been a while!
Sorry blog world its been a while!
Its the old old story, lots happening, nothing happening!
since i got back from Belfast its been pretty hectic at work, we have lots of events happening for connect 09 and i have been in charge of organising a lot of them which is tricky because i only work at church 3 days a week!
Its also job hunting time AGAIN! sigh! while i was on holidays church interviewed a guy to replace me so its pretty well 100% that i wont be staying where I am. This means i need a new job! Ideally (so that i can be ordained) it would be a full time parish job in Sydney. These are like hens teeth at the moment, having spoken to some of the girls finishing at college they are feeling the pinch too. this whole church planting push means no jobs for women, it kinda sucks!
Anyway that takes a lot of brain space as well as the fact that my 30th birthday is approaching and i am trying to organise a lovely party and do the things on my 30 things before 30 list!
Also i have also decided to take control of my weight and do something major about it! So i am pretty focused on that at the moment.
so my poor brain is full! and there are lots of lovely people to see and minister to at church and of course all the oldies i visit!
I have gone to casual at ARV with the oldies, it means more flexiblity for me but sadly probably less money which is not so good but given that i am probably moving in december i can probably suck it up, especially since there is so much else going on in my life!
so there is a wrap up of the last month - ad a dash of being sick and a naughty cat max and there you have it!
