Happy New Year!!

Hey everyone so I hope you've had a great New Year Celebration! Right now its 2pm and we are witnessing the annual parade that goes through our small town. Heres a photo of the event. To be quite honest it doesnt interest me that much. I'd much prefer to leave and go on a lovely drive somewhere in my beautiful country , but my youngest brother insisted we stay home for it and because it goes past our street, they block the road so we cant leave..sigh. anyway I guess i should appreciate it a little more, i mean vintage cars and tractors are what makes this town.
Anyway people, do you have any New Year Resolutions?
Here are mine (atleast I think these will be mine, i havnt properly thought it through just yet):
1. Lose 8kgs (according to the BMI thingy, i'm overweight for my height :(, yeah i wasnt too happy about that.
2. To finally get my license ( I know i'm 18 but still havnt got it yet lol)
3. Save money for my friends wedding which is in Dec this year (2010)lol
4.Try and have an actual bedtime.
5. To live each moment as if it was my last, but remember to think about God's view on my actions.

SO yeah enjoy the celebrations! God bless you all!

Merry belated Christmas

Hey bloggers sorry im late with this one and also apologies as this wont have any photos with it..hmm though may post later. So for most of yous, actually all of you's, it'd be the day after christmas which in New Zealand we call Boxing Day. This is bacause most presents (back in the day) were put in boxes. Then on December 26 boxes used would be taken to local tradesmen who would then take those boxes and use them the rest of the year in their trade. Say transporting milk. Really though (in my opinion) it's kinda similar to America's Black Friday, as its the biggest day for retailers and their sales. Personally my family and I are resting on December 26 from all that Christmas food!;)
Anyhow has everyone had a good Christmas? I sure did, even if it was like the hottest day so far this summer. Honestly it was insane. I felt sure sorry for mother who pretty much spent most of the day in the hot kitchen, (i did offer help, i'm not that selfish lol) and my oldest nephew was running about with no top on. But aside from the heat, we all had lovely day even if no one was interested in my dinner table games sigh..
But guess what? i learnt something from this Christmas, now isn't tha something ;). Well its not to be soo selfish! It is much better to give than to recieve, even though our flesh doesnt always agree. Chrisstmas is about showing Christ's love, especially in the gifts you give and due to not recieving as many as i would have hoped (yeah i know! not good!) i definately learnt that this year. You see after i unwrapped all mine and then moved to taking photos of my family members's new items, I felt rather proud seeing my purchases being passed round in admiration, and it just makes ya feel good ya know. It just shows that making an effort for others can really come through and bring you joy, even if dont get anything (in the physical) out of it.
and well i will include some photos btw, but i'll think ill leave the writing part to that. Sorry this short, but am tired as usual.
oooh has anyone seen The Lovely Bones? Is it good?

This my oldest nephew amongst the gifts and torn paper. so cute!
Next is the wee gift i bought for my youngest nephew Benjamin, these shoes are gorgeous and so tiny! :)
Following that is delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolate, the dark chocolate one is devine!
and next is ornament on our tree :D.
Enjoy holidays people oh and Happy New Year!

take...3

try no.3 - this is harder than i thought. lol
yay it worked..

photos i promised

Its in a very random order my bad, stil new to the whole posting images thing.
so first is a photo of the banoffe pie i made, dont really know where i was going with this ie granishing and actually come to think of it, wasn't the best taste-wise either :( was too sweet, even for me (who just so happens to have a very sweet tooth lol)
Next is my nephew Benjamin he's smiling now :D
Following is my version of a white christmas here in NZ, cool huh! this was on one of our "good" summer days.
Alas, was supposed to put the photo of the mountain underneath this..which is what we had like the next day...apparently that morning all the hills surrounding our town were covered with snow. I was sleeping so couldnt capture the site..my bad.
next is just a bit of christmasy stuff, some decoration and a type of truffle my mum made-yumo!

Christmas is just round the corner...:D

Hey all! Hope everyone is well, so have once again taken ages to write back but alas i have had no time! But now freedom calls, and I am ready to take hold of her wings!
Graduation
ok so we dont actually use the word "graduate" in New Zealand but cos both my followers are from US, i thought i would put it in :) SO last Thursday we had our Award Ceremony/Graduation erm Ceremony lol It was pretty good, i must admit and also rather sad, I definately felt teary eyed. I mean heck it would have been like the last time Im together with these people :( BUt yeah so schools offically over...atleast i hope like heck it is. I cannot remember if I last time mentioned that I had to finish an assignment for history and its been a real pain in the butt lol BUt anyway I finished it and have emailed it to my teacher, but alas, he has not emailed me back :( SO am wondering how it is and if I did okay on it...
Youth Group Break Up
Ok so not sure if i also mentioned that we do have a youth group here but not like a church and so this year it really fired up, with meetings and events almost every fortnight..its been great! and so on Saturday we had our breakup cos we not gonna continue in the holidays. It really was a lovely night! We played all sorts of games and ate good food - chips and icecream anyone. An example of a good game is where every sits round the table and then you go around the circle and have to figure out if you are either Option 1: two down Option 2:two up Option 3: one up, one down and so you go around the circle many times, because your option can change and so for a few turns I tried to fgure out which one i was. Eventually I figured out (after over half the group had discovered the trick) that it has to do with your arms! and so if you have both hands lik down on your lap then your Two Down, and say at your turn you happened to scratch your ear with one of your hands then you'd be One Up, One Down. It really was fun and if that doesnt really make sense just leave like a commment lol
Christmas Shopping
Okay so i have to admitt I'm probably like the worst Christmas shoppers around! Lets just say i tend to have this prob where i cant remember what ive bought, or even what i have in my trolley! Its honestly really bad. At one point I had in my trolley all for my little brother a belt, a t-shirt and was about to grab a Hannah Montana dvd (yes hes a boy who loves Hannah!- must be the name :D) when i realised I'll def be his new fav sister (even if he does have one ;) ) as i was gonna end up with three separate presents for him! sigh..hmm mayby its because i havnt been so prepared this year. You see i usually have most of the Christmas gifts covered by like the start of December, but alas my education has deprived me from this! lol SO yes dont go shopping with me peeps, or unlike my bro whom i was shopping with that arvo remind me i already have gifts for that particular individual! Happy shopping bloggers!
Weather in NZ
okay so weather has been delightfully crazy lately. its goes hot one day, cold the next, humid the day after. It really is interesting I must ask "What do you have up in your sleeve, GOd?" As Im sure everyone knows in the last days the weather will be rather hectic! and im sure this is only the beginning! remind me to post a few photos up later (am at my friends house atm, so havnt got photos on this comp).
Tired
ME and my friend Steph went to a lovely ladies 50th last night. it was grand, we played games and nibbled at seasonal delicasies like fruit tarts, and chocolate almonds bliss! (if peeps havnt realised im crazy over food, hmm perhaps ill post some of my erm interesting concoctions later on) and then later we watched movies until 3 am so yes am p tired though will admitt my usual bed time is like 2am atm . my bad.
right am tired, i promise to post those photos later!
till next time! God bless

an update from me

So its been like half a month since i last wrote which actually isnt that long for me, but noticing the blogs i follow who update like every two days, i thought id better do the same.
idea
So ive decided to put little labels at the top of each paragraph, or sentence in this case as i tend to write a whole lotta stuff at once which doesnt really make sense :(
School
well okay so i thought school was over after i had my last exam (history, just so you know and dont even ask me how that went :/) but then i was asked to come back to school to complete a assessment for Statistics, which thank the LOrd I got merit and then also to see my history teacher who then told me that i hadn't handed in all that i was supposed to for one of my internals (like assessment, assignment thing) like i had overlooked an entire page...so sigh thats what Im doing now and its very difficult, you'd think there'd be heaps more info on the Womens Vote (my country was first to get it btw :D) but nope hardly anything. SO yeah we seniors finished like 3 weeks ago now and the juniors (including my lil bros) finish next week.i was kinda hoping to be chilling and relaxing (without my lil bros) by now, its like i might aswell be at school sigh! but oh well just like a few more days and it should all be over! so thats my rant bout school lol
Music
well im just really loving music right now, i just cant get enough of it. atm Im listening (on my pod)to Kutless -HEarts of the Innocent , its on shuffle btw and im also multitasking and listening to samples of Sara Groves new albums Fireflies and Songs. (which you can find on her website) and yeah am really loving it. I've never really listend to her before to be honest, but when i heard the title of her album, well who could ignore it (it truelly screams out SUMMER) and its making me pretty excited even if we have had like a week of rain :( its getting me prepared :). I also am quite liking jazz/blues like think Norah Jones stuff atm too so last night i looked up Christian jazz and found an alternative by the name of Ginny Owens and seriously you should check her out. Her voice is amazing and it's also really cool cos like she was born blind, and its just real neat to see how she hasnt let that stop her ya know, not that being blind stops you from singing- but yall know what i mean lol. ok also really like the theme song for that new movie The Time Travelers Wife (not sure if ill watch it or not, like i love romance films but it's gotta be decent ya know) but anyway the song is by Lifehouse and its called Broken. It's such a beautiful song. btw if peeps know much about that movie, like maybs you've seen it then please let me know and also what do you all think about Lifehouse, are they good? (cos ive only listened to that one song and i did google them and it said that the lead was Christian, but yeah) ??
my walk
okay so with the stress of everything round me lately its been so hard to try and keep my relationship with God on track. But like in saying that i still make time for internet and stupedly watched like a ton of tv recently and i just hate how i do that. like okay so yesterday right my whole day was devoted to this history thing but then like i still ended up watching Ellen and Coro and its like grrr i coulda used that time to spend in the Word or in like worship ya know. I hate how i always let my flesh win lately, ya know, like it never used to be that way ya know. so yeah and lately like heck i just had/have this huge like bitterness toward my mum, like i just feel like shes keeping me wrapped in cottonwool ya know and heck i know deep down she loves me and just wants to protect but yeah i guess with like all my classmates going off in other places like uni and what not and ive chosen to stay here partly cos theres no place that i could actually go and i know Gods like def got plans in this place, but yeah still i just grrr like got this rebellion issue or something...sigh i hate it sometimes ya know. 

But yeah on a brighter note, i was watching benny hinn and he was teachign about getting into the presense of God. and it was really interesting and it def works (ya just gotta stick to it like everyday, unlike my self). anyway so he was teaching from the book of Numbers chapt 7 (its long but got amazing truths) and anyway he's talking about how theres like three realms to the presence of God the first realm is the "outer courts" and this is where most people including myself go in our prayer life. This is the one that coincides with the verse "let your requests be known to God - i think thats Phils or Ephesian, sorry not sure from top of my head. but yeah this is when you like talk, and you yourself only talk, ya know you pray about the day, for you unsaved bro etc etc and yeah theres no waiting on God or time to let HIm talk ya know. and so like in this part you'll also have a ton of distraction and spiritual warfare and what not. 

And so what Benny was getting at is that we should stay and keep going, dont just walk away at this point cos then you're just continue that same pattern day after day and you'll just keep living a mundane (it think thats the word) life, which we shouldnt want lol. So after you're talking part its time to wait, and you're thinking wait for what? and im telling you wait for God and His amazing presence. 

And btw this can take like an hour from when you've started ya know. He did say however that once you get into it reguarly then, God will just show up like WHAM lol. But yeah so you gotta enter in the inner courts, and btw God will "tease" you lol He'll give you a taste and then He'll draw back and this is like the scripture 'Taste and see that the Lord is good..' and sorry not sure where this from, probs Psalms but not sure. but yeah Benny likens this to like a zoo where the worker is trying to get the animal into it's cage and so takes a piece of meat which it tastes and then wants more and so the worker takes steps back and lets it taste again until the worker keeps going back and the animal is led to the cage. (btw please dont think that i think we're like animals or something k, but i trust yall mature to read that i mean this figuratvely :)) and this is because once we've had a taste of God we want more and so He keeps teasing us tehe. 

And btw this second realm is like Psalm 42 and Psalm 63 ( which i trust yous will read lol) and yeah so like our goal is the third realm which is called in Numbers "the holy of Holies' and only after like several days or so, will we reach this realm, its like about persistance ya know (heck i myself have got to get into this!).
SO yeah hope that makes sense, just holla back lol but yeah the one day i tried it, it seriously was awesome and God willing ill get back into it again. but like yeah in the 1st realm i like def had sooo much distraction but i like just kept using scriptures like James 4v8 which reads "Draw near to God and He'll draw near to you" and like i p much just said i wasnt leaving till i got something lol as weird as that sounds, but yeah def just do it peeps and ill endeaver to do the same ...hopefully.

anyway this p long, i thought this would be a lot quicker, wish i could type faster!
ooo JesusCultue just came on my pod, they are real cool! check them out lol.
well better hit my pillow (as in sleep lol) gotta get into school tomorrow cos need help with history, btw if anyone knows anything about Kate Sheppard could you p pleasse let me know, pref in next few days!
God bless kids!
H xx

I love babies!

HEHE So last night i was asked to babysit my wee newborn nephew, Benjamin. He is absolutely gorgeous, like seriously like a lil angel. I thank God for the opportunity to spend that time with him, especially when he's just at the stage. He just so like content, very different to his older brother Logan (3years) who was a tad bit erm difficult to say the least, but I'm not complaining mind you. I love both my nephews very much. My bro and his wife are very blessed to have them! So yeah he was just a joy to be around heck if my kids (im talking future people!) are anything like that, then ill have ten of them lol
Heres a photo of the wee darl! tehe
sorry this blog p short btw, i dont really write long ones cos they end up making no sense lol
God bless!

Daisy chains

Hey so i actually have followers now..wow! yay
ok so guess what folks? I have three more official days of school left! HOw toats awesome is that! well awesome and scary at the same time I must admit! so I finally figured out how to add photos! yay so here attached is a photo of a daisy chain, that my bro and i made. Yes I did say my brother, who also happens to be 22years old, but to save him from embarrassment i wont mention his name...not that it's really anything to be ashamed of. I mean hey if I was a older brother I would totally sit cross-legged on a lovely green lawn making daisy chains with my 18 year old sister! lol but thats just me...he would have a diff opinion tehe.
hmm so yeah it was definately lovely spending time with him, ya know other than watching some silly, ungodly (may I add) movie, or playing ps2 or ps3 or whatevs, ya know. It was just lovely, brang back memories of when I was younger and me and him used to hang lol. So yeah I felt it was definately times like this when you thank God for it. So thats what I did lol
hmm yea so like three days left of school..like wow!
What else can i talk about?
Oh yes, is it just me or has Christmas came just a lil too early this year?? I mean I'm like any crazy Christmas loving girl but I feel it's just a lil too early to be singing Christmas songs and what not! I've decided I'm gonna marry a American, or Canadian just so I can celebrate Thanksgiving tehe, then the focus wont be on Christmas at early NOvember! (grr even as i'm typing this there's ad's on tv showing Christmas gift ideas etc...ahhh!)
well think i'll write again later...maybz

My testimony

I recently sent my testimony to a lady who is writing a book called First Love - go to inspiringministries.org where you too can submitt your testimony. so heres mine anyway.

Hi my name is Hannah,

On August 25th 2006, I became a born-again Christian. It all began about a few months before this date. I was 14 at the time and going through the usual rebellious teenage phase. Growing up in a Christian home I knew about God, and religiously read the bible and my mother especially was very spiritual, but I didn't really take any of it in. I wanted to take part in the "amazing" activities of my peers and so listening to my mother's advise wasn't very important in my life at the time. 

There were things in my life that I loved and didn't want to let go. An example of this was my almost two year collection of Dolly magazines. I knew it was an idol as my daily bible reading had been replaced. But one day (in June) my friend invited me along to youth group and i thoroughly enjoyed it. But it wasnt until about the third meeting that I was truelly affected by it. That night one of the ladies leading it began to talk about the parable of the seed sower and the different gound it landed on. She talked about the ground with thorns and then began to elaborate on this saying how it could be anything in our lives. She mentioned friends, television, movies etc but what really hit me was when she said magazines.

 As soon as I got home that night I got everyone one of my magazines and began to rip them up. I could have just thrown them out but I knew I had to rip them up; it was a symbol of finally letting ago.

About a month after this I had heard about a camp that a few people in my youth group were about to attend. I knew I just had to go and so they managed to just squeeze me in. But on the day before camp, I showed mum the form thing (um the piece of paper that shows what to bring and about the camp) and when she read the name of it (ImagineNations) she began to be concerned and almost didnt allow me to go. She thought it sounded like a new age camp as she read it as Imaginations not Imagine Nations. Thankfully after protesting she allowed me to go and it was one the most life changing decisions ever. 

The first night of camp a woman talked about one of the first times she experienced the presence of God. She told us how she spent 3 hours in His wonderful presence and how she simply could not leave, literally. Now I knew about the presence of God, I saw it numourous amount of times on Benny Hinn when my parents were watching it. But i never experienced it personally. So after this amazing testiomony, we had worship time and this time for the first time in my life I asked God to feel his presence. I wanted to know if He really existed, I wanted feel for myself what I'd seen on Benny Hinn and why my parents were adament to follow in this path. Little did I realise God would answer almost immediately. With my hands raised, eyes closed I began to feel this immense heat. My eyes began to like quiver if you will and then I began to shake. It was absolutely crazy but wonderful and oh so real. 

I began to pray for someone to come over and pray for me; also I wanted the gift of tongues. Noticing my lack of balance at this present time, my friend asked someone to pray for me and as another woman prayed I fell to the ground. 

At this point I just felt immense joy. I was crying yet it was all happy tears. Then I could hear the organiser say that it was time for supper, and everyone left the room. And i mean every single person. 

I attemped to get up and follow, but God wasnt finished with me yet. I couldnt even lift my head, His presence was so strong; I was having the same experience than that of the woman who spoke that night! It was awesome, but soon this joy faded. In this now empty room, I began to hear child-like footsteps and this fear began to fall on me. I knew it was spiritual and represented a demon if not satan himself. I began to pray out loud but all that came out was a repitition of a "t" sound which I later learned was a beginning of my new heavenly language. God had answered my prayer. 

I also felt to pray for my brother and my dad I later learned they were in need); and after praying, the woman who spoke that night, accompanied by the worship leader came in and asked if I needed prayer.

 I asked with much difficulty for faith, an increase in confidence, and also to remove my fear of sickness (in 2005 I went to hospital because of a non-stop bleeding nose). 

What I went through as a result of praying I would refer to as deliverence. For about 15mins I let out loud sobbing and screaming. It was a highly emotional time. I made so much noise my friend, (two rooms away), gathered some of our companions, and waited outside the door, in prayer for me. I was about to be freed! And indeed I was!

After this momentous occasion, more joy fell all through me. For the first time, after an hour and a half, i was able to lift myself up but I could not stop speaking in tongues and laughing. It was just an uncontrollable laughter, that soon spread to my now relieved friends. I had now found God, I'd now accepted Him into my life.



It's now been more than three wonderful years serving Jesus. I've had my ups and downs but He has seen me through. I'm very blessed to have gone to that camp. I will never forget it.

thanks for reading

A pretty cool article from Susiemag.com

Movies and television feature your favorite stars sipping champagne elegantly from long-stemmed glasses. And most sitcoms show the entire cast guzzling beer, wine-coolers or liquor.

Call me weird, but I’m not joining them. (Actually, don’t call me at all if you’re going to drink. I won’t be joining you.)

But Jesus . . .
I know. I know.

I can hear you thinking through the page of this magazine: But Susie! Even Jesus drank. His first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding.

If you’re seriously using that as your excuse to drink, you’re showing your ignorance. Do your research!

OK, because you haven’t, I’ll do the research for you. Here it is: In the Greek language—the language in which the New Testament was written—there are two words for wine: oinos and sikera. Sikera means strong drink. Oinos was about one in 20 (at the most a half percent) of alcohol.

We need to understand that Jesus didn’t create some kind of drunken orgy at the wedding when He transformed water into wine.

Jesus didn’t make sikera at the wedding.
He didn’t make American beer.
He didn’t make American 12 percent wine-coolers.
He didn’t make 30 percent Jack Daniels.
What did He make? Jesus made Biblical oinos. It was actually grape juice with a tiny bit of fermentation for purification. When Jesus turned water into wine, we need to understand that it was not the wine people are dinking today.

The Bible always condemns strong drink—sikera. Jesus didn’t make sikera.

Just One Drink
Well . . . I don’t think one drink will hurt me. What a copout! Each person’s body reacts differently to alcohol. Why put yourself at risk? First of all, if you’re reading this magazine, you’re not even old enough to drink. And when you are old enough, why put something into your body that you could become easily addicted to?

Get this: Two million deaths occurred worldwide last year because of alcohol. (I got that statistic from America.gov.) Two million! And guess what started it all? One drink.

But, Susie, people in the Bible drank.

Yes, they did. And the Old Testament gives several examples of people engaging in sinful behavior because
of drinking. Check out something else the Old Testament says: “Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led
astray by them is not wise” (Proverbs 20:1).

Remember the prophet Daniel? “But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine. . . ” (Daniel 1:8). He knew that drinking would defile himself before God. There’s a lot of wisdom in that!

Look at the warning Isaiah gives: “Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks” (Isaiah 5:22).

But didn’t the apostle Paul tell Timothy to drink wine?
Yes . . . FOR HIS COUGH. Paul was instructing Timothy to use it as medicine. It was the closest thing they had to cough medicine in those days. And Paul wasn’t talking about sikera—strong wine. He was encouraging Timothy to drink oinos—grape juice with a tiny bit of fermentation for purification. Timothy wasn’t drinking to escape, to fit in at a party or to dull his senses. He drank a small bit of wine as medicine. The Bible is filled with warnings of the dangers of drinking intoxicating wine.

My Personal Choice
I never want to hear, “Woe to you!” from my heavenly Father. Neither do I want to defile myself. I belong to Jesus Christ.

I don’t want to become dependent on anything besides God. My heart cry is, “Jesus, I love You! I’m in love with You. And I truly want to become ALL You dream for me to be!”

So I’m not going to risk messing up His best plan for my life with alcohol. That’s why I’ve never tasted beer, and that’s why I never will. I refuse to drink. I’m too in love with Christ.

Agree? Disagree? Let me know your thoughts: susie@susiemag.com and label your e-mail DRINKING.

October

Hey everyone (speaking pretty much to myself coz im pretty sure theres no followers lol)

kid so meh lol.
so yes at the mo im on a two week break. One week is pretty much over and so one more week to go...grrr i like holidays
way toomuch to have to give in to my education! "waaaaaaah"
well i guess thats it from me.
till next time lol
Love h.

i like blogging - this p pointless lol

yeah so today is wednesday. not much is happening atm tbh, but thats alright i can still write about things. so on this bloggy thing im actually following this girl called Blair and heck her photography is awesome -check it out lol (dont even know y i put that seeing as noone is following me..yet :p) and yeah im taking photography this year so was cool coming across her profile as it's actually pretty inspirational.
hmm so have a ball/prom to go to on friday-yay! if i knew how to upload photos on blog, i would, but i dont so sorry non-exsistant folks :D
anyway have already had my school ball-check out photos on my facebook(same email, as this) and so this my second one this year yay..forgot where i was going with this..hmm never mind
well ok so atm am listening to David Wilkerson on his sermon thing on his website (World Challenge), it real good, its called 'the path to hope' and honestly the emotion in his voice is just oh so real! time is running out folks- JESUS IS COMING!
xx

The haps

okay so im real bad at updating this, but in saying that, i have no-one following me yet, so it not really a huge issue lol
so like anyway im back to school now and yeah its been okay i guess. Once again im totally over the gossip and dirty talk that goes on at my school. Like honestly can some people please grow up! but yeah i guess its this time and generation we living in. Jesus said things would get tougher and satans running outta time.
hmm so yeah i had a two week break and it was lovely! we had this cool as group from a place called Wanganui and they came down where i live and held these awesome as meetings with like freee worship! was amazing! they were like a breathe of fresh air. I guess we just not really used to that kinda stuff here in Fairlie, but oh well, Gods got some sweet plans for Fairlie.
okay so what did bother me at the meetings, was well meeting this guy who asked for my num and i sillyly said yes. then he said how beautiful i was etc (you know guys can be like) and i began to like him..yeah i know, who does that (meaning me). but yeah then i never hear from him then...well long story short i fell for a silly guy and it was p much pointless.
dont even know y im writing this, but o well.
okay i was listenin to a message today and it was real cool like by a guy called Miles Munroe(he talks real good messages on the kingdom) and like he was saying how Peter said to Jesus "I will follow you and die with you etc' then Jesus said 'the devil has now required of you etc" and this is saying that whatver we say we should expect satan to test us with it, to see whether we mean what we really say. its p much about what we say is what we can expect. real good words aye!
hmm better go, have to log off in 10 mins!
God bless

Why's no one following me?

okay so I know no-one is following me yet...but they will. So i'll continue to write whats happening. okay so in New Zealand (which is where i'm from, just in case you didn't catch that) it is mid-winter, and today we had our first snowfall..yay! though I have a feeling it stopped and i have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with my mother. You see she tends to go in her prayer closet (not literally of course) and pray for God to send it away! lol it's rather interesting really, though I must admit a tad annoying, i mean i want a few days off school tehe.
hmm well things with God have been going great! I just feel He's totally drawing me in right now, Praise Him! Well i better go, i need some sleep.

Revival on way... also on HannahsIWorld

Hey so sorry i haven't updated in a while. OK so long I thought I should like just simply state whats going on. So at the moment I'm watching a dvd that a family friend sent to us (my family) and it's by a man called Ian Johnson and called Revival Fire NZ and it's really cool and has encouraged me a fair bit to do this. A few weeks ago now I was worshiping when I opened my bible to Habbakuk 2v 2 which reads
" Write the Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
" Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith."
and after reading this i instantly thought about posting something on facebook and bebo, you know like declare what Gods been showing me especially that Jesus is coming very soon and revival world wide will break out starting right here in NZ. so well i felt quite iffy about it you see, like i was thinking perhaps this is just my mind making it up so before I took action I asked God for confirmation, i just didnt wanna jump ahead of myself or God. And amazingly I opened to John 2 and began reading then verse 5 just popped out of the page "
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it”
and really it was confirmation right there. So i got onto facebook and bebo and wrote instantly that Revival is on it's way and Jesus is coming!! and well just recently i forgot about it but while listening to Ian preach right now I felt God showing me it is time to share aye. Praise God!! Because he said that he (Ian) used the web to share the words of God, and he had like a blog thing and only had one follower, himself. But after that it just began to grow, and so thats what I'm gonna do to, hence me writing this now.
well God bless folks
