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!

update...

well its been a busy old week, Here are the main plot points:

*I started freaking out about jobs for next year! but happily i have an interview for one on the 27th and a a couple of other leads to chase up, but its still fairly slim pickings

*Church work is busy; my boss has been away this week and I have been writing a talk for a womens event this sunday and a few other bits have been happening so i have felt busy!

*Aged care work has started back this week, i dont have many shifts so far but at least i will have some money soon, starting to feel a little broke! But on the down side it means i dont have time to do the church things that sneak outside the 3 days.

*I have been meeting with a woman for Baptism preparation for her kids, its been really fun and interesting!

*I had a busy day off visiting friends which was lovely, tiring but lovely!

*hmm i think thats about it! I'm a bit brain dead tonight, I have been at the lovely Kate and Ian's wedding all day it was fun but in Berowra Waters...so far away!!

Huge day of church tomorrow, gulp!

The first week of being 30!

Well so far being 30 rocks!

I had a very lovely birthday. It was last wednesday and though i had to work it was still a great day, a very generous lady from church gave me 3 months gym membership and i went out with a gang of people from church to see Wicked.

I really enjoyed Wicked!!! it was lovely to see a musical although it made me pine for Les Mis! oh why wont it come back!!


So then i had a Party! the weather was terrible and it was supposed to be a BBQ by the beach, so we moved to the church hall which worked out well as there was space for the kids to play.

It was so lovely to see many friends who i hadn't seen in a while and catch up with church people. What was even lovelier was that my family came!!! Mum and dad flew up and Jen and Ben and the kids and Deb and Richard and Alex all came! Its been FANTASTIC to see my family they live so far away and i miss my babies! they grow up so fast!!





So Jen and Ben and family and Mum and dad have been here all week. We have been very busy doing things, Its amazing how 3 kids under 5 make everything busy! Mum and Jen and I went to see wicked (again for me) on wednesday night and Jen and Ben took the kids to a live show of the New Macdonalds Farm on thursday as well as that Jen and Ben have been looking at People Movers because baby 4 is due in Dec.

Mum and dad are in Newcastle today because dad is graduating with his medical doctorate, that makes his a dr for the 3rd time!!

Jen and ben and kids are visting friends so i have some time to myself!

Tomorrow Mum and Dad and I mind the kids while Jen and ben go to a wedding! ( oh and i will be off to a hens day at some point!!)

So life is a bit crazy! oh yeah and on top of that my boss is away for a week so i'm in charge!

More when life gets a bit more normal!!!
