my blog is not dead..yet!

hey bloggers =]

life catches up and gets in the way sometimes huh? i havent blogged in forever. and i dont know where to start. hm. how bout just what has been happening lately? there'll be a huge gap since the last time i blogged, so sorry about that! if any of you want a proper fill in, call me lol. ill just put down stuff as i remember it.

1. our church has found a building!
ah, yes, but it isnt ours yet, you see, we found a building for 1.25 million (which is really cheap for a church) but we dont have that money. aparantly, the church has lowered it to 1.2 million, but we still are short of money. please pray for us, and if its God's will, then he will provide the money!

2. performing tomorrow
i am performing tomorrow, with my string sinfonia as well as camerata and i will be performing five songs, all on my violin. i'm excited, and nervous!!!

3. musical and studious stress!!
lol, well i guess everyone has it. i have my violin exam in exactly one month and two days today, so i am stressed out, cos i wanna pass (obviously) so please pray for me! also, piano exam in two months! as well as that, year 9 is getting heavier and heavier with more work and assignments, oh i cant wait for vce! oh JOY!

4. family holiday
yes, we went on a little family holiday which was fun. we went to ballarat for 3 days and basically just mucked around and drove around and ate =] hehe, it was good for our family to just spend some time together, cos it seems like we havent done a lot of that lately. we are all so busy, and that is so so sad.

5. everything is happening at school, and FAST!
so many things are happening at school atm, things i cant necesarily mention on a public blog, but God has been faithful, and i have actually been able to thank him for some of the trials ive been through over the past two years or so, cos it has actually helped me to help my friends, in tough situations as well. its exciting, but also scary, please pray for wisdom for me and my friends, as we are faced with more than one obstacle.

6. being in love with God
well, lately ive been just chilling for about half and hour or so and just talking to GOd like he's sitting next to me, and when i do, i just feel this peace and its awesome. i love talking to God. i can feel his presence and i am in awe of Him. its great, and i have experienced him in a whole new way! i cant describe just how awesome it is, you have to experience it for yourself. but God has been faithful even though sometimes it feels like hes not present.

i think thats about IT!

through it all, ive learnt heaps, in fact, the holidays (last holidays) taught me so much, and just from last holidays alone, ive grown. its amazing.

anyway, keep reading, i will try and post more often haha.

i love you ALL!
God bless,
