today was a significant day in year nine for me. God was so present in our school today. i have to write this quickly as we are going out!
ok so everyone has heard about see you at the pole. basically, it is a yearly prayer meeting held in high schools all over australia where people gather at their flagpoles to pray for australia, their schools, and the world. see you at the pole started at an early 7.30 am at our school and to my suprise (and i think everyone's suprise) one hundred over people turned up. it was awesome. God's presence was really there and we all prayed so hard for australia. we had a good time of worship as well and we were able to acknowledge the goodness and the greatness of god despite how extremely freezing the temperature was. after that, we enjoyed a hot (and cold) waffle breakie in the home ec room with ice cream yum!
anyway, at chapel, sarah's brother chris dickson came to speak. chris dickson is an aussie rapper and he currently has a record deal. anyway, he came to speak at our chapel. first, he did a rap and everyone kinda got into it, then, he shared with us all a bit about his life. he shared with us all the stories which at times were a bit scary. then, he did an alter call. he did one of those close your eyes, bow your heads and raise your hands ones. and then, he said people who raised their hands could walk down to the altar. and no one came. for a while, once someone left their seat, literally more than half the school came flooding to the altar. most of year nine was at the altar, there wasnt even enough room at the front for all of us, people were standing in the aisles. everyone had tears in their eyes, even the guys. we were all crying. as the teachers began to pray for us, we also began to lay hands on each other. people gave their lives to jesus christ today. it was such an awesome time. for me, i really started crying when one of my friends who is kinda anti christian went down the front, man i was bawling my eyes out! everyone was so caring there and everyone just gave their lives to god and it was awesome to see. god really bought revival to our school today. i am so excited! altar call and praying basically went through lunch and they ended up extending lunch till 2.00 and even then, we only left chapel at 2.00 haha! it was a great time, and i have never hugged that many people in my life!!
anyway, after that, it was so funny cos none of us had had our lunch and we all had to go to class. at english, mrs vallve let us all go eat while it was class and the she was like whos hungry? haha and we were all like ME! and then she took us to the staffroom and let us eat all the food made by the year 10 home ec students for the teachers. it was so funny, and then we went through the fridge and drank cordial and mrs vallve got a camera and took all these pics haha. we all were like WE LOVE YOU MRS VALLVE! haha, we didnt do any work that period.
today was definitely a day to remember in year nine. i thank god for the lives that were saved today. it was truly the most awesome day ever.
thankyou God!
aiight, i have to go haha

godbless. xo
