Wow, what an intense weekend!!
Serious it was probably one of teh craziest i have had in a long long time! It had its ups and downs, and its crazy moments... but ahh, it was good :)
I think tho, than in this short 3 day time i have learnt so much about myself and God that i praise him for the time i had!
This weekend had me, awake super early ona sat mornin.. eek, had me scared, emotional, relieved, tired, excited, emotional!! had my crying out to God on numerous occasionas, had me feel loved and tired! but in all those emotions are experiences and times of growth,
ahh well, let me tell u about my weekend :p
Saturday morning began witha breakfast for a chrysalis group Ben is involved in, and as much as i hate sat mornings i actually enjoyed myself :) I met some new people and had some good laughs, and it turned out to be a great way to start a weekend. After that w epopped in to see a mate get his hair shaved off for Cancer, man i admire his courage, its a big step to lose something you;ve grown accustomed to, i know ive been saying for years that oen day id do it.. much to most my families dismay as most fo tehm just love my curls heheh but Paul actually did it, not just said he woudl but did! and in the process raised some money for a great cause! Good stuff!
and after all this before liek 11... my day had only really begun, teh time had come for the scary part of my weekend, I was goin to adventure world, with my nephews, my neices, my sister and my sisters half sister. sounds fine right.. no fear there, well let me give ya some background info... before i arived at dventure world... with my hard securily in Bens for safety hehe i had never met my sister or my neices before!! For me it was a moment of joy..of fear, bvut of relief! I wa schallenged in myself to put the past and othe rpeoples issues behind me and be myself and meet her own our own terms, and through that faith that God would give me strenth.. i was blessed, with an experience id only dreamed of :)
that night had a bunch of mates over for a wii and singstar night... oh by midnight i was buggered!! and while Ben managed to hit bed and die... i managed to not be able to sleep an be up watchin sex and teh city for a couppla hours..
Sunday: well teh day turned stressful almost straight away, when i woke up witha hea dthat was poundin and teh desire to be in dark places with no sound.... but instead, i went and taught sunday school... oh i am clever!!
wa sok tho, convinced teh kids that playing wink morder in teh dark was fun :)
there were a few dramas at church meanin i missed teh service and was left hoping the segments i lead in would remain in one peice by then end of the day! it was a tough mornin, and on teh way home i remember just sitting at some traffick lights and just crying out to God for something, for anythin, for some resfreshment or passion.. or any sign of him!
ahh while id love to say my weekend ended here and i napped... noo i wnet to caversham house for a pizza picnic party coz my best mate tanya was running her first event from there :)
Sunday nigh was church again, and as exhausted a si was, im glad we went! i needed to be in the presence of God. ahh soem more dramas arose and some more tressful stuff was brought up.. But again i was rmeinded that in my hands problems are large,, but in teh hands taht created the world.. one issue in it is nothing! im now trusting him to be in all these situations
My night ended watching scrubs :) and then spending time in prayer with my wonderful boyfriend... and i cant think of a better way to end the weekend, with a man who loves me, and a God who taught me so much in 3 days.. and gave me what i needed when i just couldnt feel it :)
and now... for teh week ahead, with myuch to look forward to.. i take my step into this week in faith, because taht is all i really need :)

It was a rather wild weekend, and one that I was glad to spend so much time with you. Let's hope that next weekend is a bit more sedate - but I still get to spend as much time with you :)

ReplyDeleteGotta say, I still get startled looking at myself in the mirror nearly 2 weeks after the event...
