Gingerbread and packing!`

WEll its been another busy week, trying to fit packing in around work and getting new job stuff sorted.

I cant remember if I mentioned it before but I am getting ordained as a Deacon in the Anglican Church next year! I am really excited! Feb 6th at 10am at the Cathedral in the city! I bought a really cute pink clerical shirt this week, i'll post a pic later.

I also spoke at a gingerbread house night last night, i think it went well here is a pic of me with my house...


Today i avoided packing as much as i could which was a bad idea, but now i am off to the lovely Kat's 21st hurrah!

Then plenty of church tomorrow, and i need to do a trip to the tip...so much junk!!!

so its been a week...

Its been busy... I've started packing, and packing and some more packing, I move on wednesday! It will be good to get that sorted and live 2 blocks closer to the beach!

Max totally knows something is up and doesnt let me out of his sight and is so chatty!

We had a whole church dinner on saturday night and that sort of took care of the weekend! I spent all day (with the ministers wife) cooking for it! and it was so hot on sunday that i just wanted to die!!! 40 and soooooo humid!!!The dinner was lovely and a success but i had a whole tray of apple crumble left!

Monday was the aged care christmas party, it was quite fun chatting with the oldies, I sat next to a lady who had the same name as my grandma and whose husband had Alzheimers like grandpa, i had a sad little moment remembering grandma. Its going to funny at Christmas - as the only single one it was usually me and Grandma, now it will just be me.

Tomorrow lots of work and then on thursday night i'm off to see the B52's and the proclaimers!! he he he he!

Mum is coming to visit on monday hurrah! so lots to look forward to! :)

Awesome Online Shopping

So i cant say enough about this website!!!!

Reasonable price, speedy delivery AND... they came in a cute envirobag (which i will totally use) and with to/from stickers which are really cute!!

Max and I will be moving into a cute little house and its so close to the new Top Ryde shops! he he he!

More Later

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.
