Haha dont ask why I put baby there...just felt like it :p.
So how are you lovely bloggers!? So today is the 25th of August! And that means by the grace of God, I've been saved for officially 4 years. How totally awesome is that! :) Praise Jesus, for keeping me this long. I honestly don't think I deserve it. God is sooo good to me! :) It overwhelms me sometimes. Sigh what a beautiful Savior we have :).
OKay so over the weekend, I went to a missions camp. This was my fifth year at this camp. (It was the camp I was born again at :) ). God was/is so good. ON the first night during worship, one the speakers felt to say, that if anyone was inspired (as in by Holy Spirit) to like prophesy etc, they should come up. And at this point I was having a wee bit of a battle haha. You see last week during my devotional, the Lord gave me a word and it was "We must repent, to be restored". (btw my lovely blog readers please take heed to this word, we must all get ready for Him. He wants a holy, pure bride people. I love you guys and so I say this in love, as much as I can through a post, please get right before your Savior. He loves you so much. If the word makes no sence to you, then please pray on it. Ask Him about it :) ) Anyway I was thinking to myself, "Do I go up Lord, and tell these people, your word?" And while I was debating this, a man called Ben (I know him from previous camps and whatnot), came upto me and said he had a word for me. This is the jist of it: "I just saw you on the top of a mountain and you were sounding a trumpet. You have a message for the people and its to show what they need to do next. You have a zeal and you will lead them." Praise Jesus! He is so good (And this kinda irrelevant but then honestly like two minutes later, another guy came upto me and said "I just have a word for you. 'You are called to the nations'." Again thankyou Lord!) So then I knew that I had to get up and deliver the message, and by Gods grace, I did it. Cos yeah I'm not a publice speaker aye. Well Gods changing me haha. He is good. That whole weekend, people got word after word for me. God is soooo awesome! Really like I dont ask for it ya know, He just gives if to me. Brings me to tears. Sigh He is good.
I also found it encouraging how most of the sermons were about the coming revival. That was so encouraging. I met so many people who are looking for it too, ya know. Like where i'm at, as in where i live, and who I'm surrounded by, have lost hope in revival. And flip, it frustrates me sometimes, (I know, God so needs to help me with that amongst like soooo many other things! haha) But yeah I must persevere, I will not give up! Jesus. Just gotta keep my eyes on Jesus. I want Him. I want a heart like David and like Mary of Bethany. I want my eyes to forever be on Him. Oh precious Jesus, lead me Lord into your arms! Please pray for me fellow bloggers!
So what else is new? Um well my role at work has changed ever so slightly. Instead of just making sandwiches (which personally I didnt mind too much, kinda got into a routine), I'm now moved onto the baking part. So now I'm doing all the breads, quiches, scones, cakes and well more interesting things. So I'm pretty stoked about it to be honest. While I'm waiting for revival, I may as well learn some baking haha. So yeah. :)
What else? I'm not sure what else to put here. Think I'll leave it at this. :)
Strive to enter the narrow gate people :) Run to the arms of Jesus :)

There endeth July
Greetings to you beautiful bloggers! I hope you've all had a wonderful month :)
So I just had a quick look-see at my previous blog and am reminded of a familiar chapter in Ecclesiates.
"To everything there is a season...A time to kill; And a time to heal; A time to break down and a time to build up. (Ecclesiates3v3).
Quite honestly, I feel that while writing my last blog, I was going through a 'break down' if you will. Okay it wasn't as bad as that sounds. I just think that...well to everything there is a season. And right now I'm going through a building up- praise Jesus! I mean lately (I'm talking like the last few weeks), I just have a thirsting for the Word, I want to spend more time with Jesus. Quite honestly, I feel as if I was just saved. :D
I want to be ready for his visitation, for His coming. I know in my spirit we are running out of time. My mum actually got a word recently that I know I should share and it is this "Tell my sons (thats means daughters too :) ) to get ready." Fellow bloggers , and whoever else reads this, please know that the biggest revival that this world has ever seen and will ever see, is just around the corner. And following this, will be the harvest and then the return of our sweet Savior. I'm also reminded of a word the Lord gave me a few years ago. "Tell them I'm coming very soon". Unfortunately not one of us knows the day or hour, but all we are to do is quite simple- Get ready!! Guys, (I'm referring to all by the way, the word "guys" in NZ is like slang for 'people' :) ), we must all repent. We must all get right before our God, before our King. Please people, dont take this lightly. If you know (in fact you will know) your not right before God, then do something about it. Dont wait for a camp, or for some international speaker on revival to visit your local town or city, or even a spiritual experience; please begin now to 'rend your hearts and not your garments' (Joel 2v13). Run into the arms of Jesus 'for He is is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness..' (v13 cont.). Now is the time guys. Oh how glorious the days :).
To be honest, I didnt think I was even going to write about all this. I was actually going to write on 'renewing the mind' (something I've learnt quite a bit about recently), but hey I just write as God leads :). He is so good. Lately actually, I've been memorising useful verses from the Bible, and praise God, it's been so wonderful to be honest. I've quite enjoyed it. I have even got my boss (who's not even a Christian) to help me. My mum helps too, but yeah with him being a born and bred Kiwi, he helps with pronounciation for some words :)
So yeah life is good atm. Don't get me wrong, I'm still battling. But what I'm learning, is to expect failure. As in, to expect to muck up. You see, I've always been one of those people, that will idk decide on a change if you will (like no more tv for example) but yeah sometimes you can get trapped into watching something. But instead of just giving up, I'm gonna let Jesus pick me back up and try again :)
Actually reminds me of a funny incident, last night our television broke. Isn't that funny?! A year or so back God spoke to us about 'removing our idols' and quite frankly, the television was an idol in our household. (oh btw only like my parents and I are saved in my household, just so you know. Dont worry though Gods got His hands on my bros :p). It's only been like 24hours but they're definately beginning to notice the effects. But hey, if your not gonna listen to Him, then he'll do stuff like let your tv break :p tehe. Oh just so you know, I'm not completly opposed to watching tv. I just see it as a time waster, sometimes. And annoys me how it can actually run a household :( Oh and the content isnt exactly godley these days too unfortunately :( But yeah like I do watch movies (quick thankyou to Ashley Weis for your blogs as they have encouraged me quite a bit lately, especially round this topic of movies ect:) ) and sports sometimes :)Like you should check out this website called Pluggedinonline.com for movie reviews. They'll tell you whats really in the films, from a good Christian perspective.
To be honest, I am surprised that it is 5pm and I'm writing a blog. I never write blogs at this time. It's like 8 hours too early :P tehe.
Oh I just made pumpkin soup for like the first time ever. I'm quite estatic to be honest. I love pumpkin soup! So yay ! :)
Should probably leave this blog as is now. I'm really just babbling :).
Take care lovelies. Stay in Jesus :)

June/July
Hey Folks
I have to apologise as I'm late with the June blog and have therefore joined June and July.
Wow so whats been happening wiht me??? Hmm well I'm officially back to work now. It's pretty sweet. I quite missed working at the old peoples to be honest. They're all just so sweet in their quirkey,old way lol. One lady who has just come to live a Moreh (name of Old Peoples HOme) as she recovers from an accident, is very really quite interesting. You see I met her about a week before I started back, when i was with a friend (he knows her from way back) and so then since then she keeps like talking to me all the time, telling me stories etc lol Then yesterday, she was like "I have something for you" and then handed me an orange and a Moro (chocolate) bar. Was sooo cute :D
So Fifa World Cup...what have you guys all thought of it? I'm was super exctied aye Ive watched quite a few games aye. Was mega cool being off work as I could get up early for the good games without worrying, ya know :) (Games here in NZ were screening at 11.30 pm, 2am and 6.30am) So yeah the reason i put "was" rather than "is" super excited, is because unfortunately for me, I am working while the finals are on! Yeap sooo sad! But I have a plan...I'm going to ask if the staff would kindly put the radio volume down(so I do not hear any scores) and then when i head home I'll watch the replay. :) Lets hope it works aye. I mean this only happens every four years! SO btw who do you's think will win? :) I'm going for Spain, but I don't mind either way :)Be cool to hear what you guys think :)
Um what else? So to be honest it's been hard lately. Like life in general. I'm in a constant battle with my emotions (though in saying that when are we not?). I don't know whats wrong with me. I just feel like spirtually, I'm going no where. Sigh I dont know whats happening. I'm just I don't know, going through a bit of strife aye
But yeah I'll be okay. I hope.
Um think I'll let this be a short blog. Have a good month :)

Magnificent May
Holla!
So here i am doing my monthly update! Outside it is pouring down with rain :) and I quite like it. So its been an interesting month. Quite an enjoyable one to be honest :)
So at the moment I am officially a bum (meaning Im doin nothing lol). No I didnt get fired..not yet anyway just kidding! You see a few weeks ago I went to stay at my bros house, cos he needed a hand, as my sister-in-law went to hospital (thank Jesus she's algood now) and on the first night i was there, I had an accident. You see I was just about ready to cut the pumpkins and so i asked my older bro for a sharp knife. Instead he took over (obviously thought his little sister couldnt do it :p) and then once pumpkin was all chopped up, he pretented to cut me with the knife. But instead of it stopping just before getting my hand, it carried on and left a lovely effect on my right index finger. My bro felt soooo bad aye! There was blood everywhere. Dont worry though it not too major. It did go partway through a tendon though and so i not able able to work for three weeks...hense me mentioning that I'm now a bum lol I am thankfully covered by ACC (its like a benefit kinda thing) so yeah its been pretty sweet to be honest :)
I never really know what to put in this blogs aye. To me they dont seem at all very interesting. hmmmm
Well last month I did say I would put pics of lovely random things so I will endeaver to do that. I also said I wasnt going to complain, so I'm not going to hehe
Ummmmm God is good :) He really is. It amazes me like how He puts up with me.(so this is kinda half a complaint lol) Like I'm just so like a sea thats been tossed to and fro, ya know, like I very much dislike how one day everythings great and then the next....well not so lovely. I guess I've just got to learn that us humans are prone to changing; but its okay as long as we always look to the one who never changes. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He's forver merciful, yet just. Forever loving, forever wanting His children in His arms.
It's funny the other day I mentioned to my mum that my prayer of late is to just fully understand what Jesus went through on the cross. Like my desire is to know, to comprehend what He did for us, because of His great love for us. Mum wasnt too pleased. She thought that I wanted to suffer like He did. But I didnt mean that...well not really should i say...like it'd be awesome to suffer for Christ... but like I just want to better understand what Jesus had to go through, willingly, just for us...just for me :,( Does that make sense fellow bloggers? :) I wish to just know. :)
How great is our God, sing with me , How great is our God! How great, How great is our God! That is the chorus from a song by Chris Tomlin. One of my favourite songs in fact :) I put that here cos I just want to encourage you to find a place of solitude so you can soak in the great presence of God! Girls and guys , time with God is so sooo important. I know it can be hard sometimes. But dont give up, or give in should i say. Sometimes you wont feel like praying, or worshipping or getting into His Word but god never said it was gonna be easy. You may have to deny yourself, deny your feelings, and take up your cross and follow Him. Be encouraged dear friends. Jesus is there, He never left, He's there with open arms :)
Right here are some pictures :)Have a great start to June friends.
P.S I think this song may have influenced me a wee bit in my prayer life.

Pss Im craving a coffee right now :) and these are indeed just random pics from my folder and from google images :) So atm looking at photos a guinea pigs on google (i used to have pet guinea pigs when i was a child) and am disgusted at the amount of pics showing cooked guinea pigs.....ughhhhhhh :( So sad!

April
Wow! this month has gone by soo quickly! I mean flip Mays just round the corner...then June! and then it'd be like half-way through 2010 already (btw do you peeps call it 'twenty ten' or "two thousand and ten"? Personally i go with the latter cos 'twenty ten's just weird lol) Anyway so at the beginning of the month it was easter and down my end it was amazing cos I attended Easter Camp woot woot!! (how'd you guys easter go? :) )
Anyway i really had a great time!! and thats pretty much what this post is gonna be about :). So yeah there were 46 of us Fairlie folk (which is huge for us!) that attending! It was a mixture of non-believers and believers that went and praise Jesus they all saw or felt His presense during it.. :D
Um not sure what i was gonna say now......Um....... Here its raining btw (just thought id throw that in lol hows the weather in the US?? (cos you guys are all from there) Sigh you'll be in Spring now..talk about bliss! :)
Hmm think I'll just talk about the last night of camp cos thats when i felt it was the best!!!!! So at the Big Top (which was the huge marquee that we went for the meetings-held in like 4000 peeps!) we were worshipping and the presense of God began to fall and i just couldnt stop shaking and it just didnt want to stop! it was wonderful :) but at the same time i was like God i think you can stop now lol its getting too much and im not really concentrating on the preacher...but it didnt until near the end, and then we had more worship and flip God just shook up our youth group. Peeps had been affected by the message (i wish i could remember it lol) and so those who responded were kindly asked to stand so then us leaders could go round and pray for them. And flip it was amzing. Like i was super stoked cos we'd pray for someone and like not really expecting anything to happen really, but then afterward they would be crying and i know tears arnt anything too major but it just shows how God can move. :)
Then things went awesome to awesomer lol You see after that i began to um how you say..have the "Holy Ghost" laughter and then like randomly (or God inspired should i say) this girl comes upto me and says "God just wanted me to tell you that He really loves you. He really loves you" and she just kept repeating this and it was pretty super! And then like i remember falling over and then i opened my eyes and saw a friend laughing at me/with me lol. What happened next was simply amazing and something that ive never had or experienced before. You see we ended up laughing heaps for a good 15mins and then i just felt like running and so i told me friend this and he's like "k lets run" and so we just bolted out the door and it was like the fastest run ive even been on (go Holy Spirit eh!) and then we just stopped and he led me back to the Big Top where i just couldnt stop shouting in tongues aye and the he began to shout too. I never heard anyone pray like that before and i later learned that he was interpreting my tongue! It was sooo amazing!! :D God is sooo good! Like he actual has the gift of interpreting tongues, its amazing!! But it wasnt over just yet!:D When we got to the marquee (not sure of spelling-like big circus tent lol) and i like began to prophesy (btw i didnt know this at the time, it was later when i recieved some er spiritual backlash that i learned this) and me and the friend were just working hand in hand, getting like er words for peeps and also just proclaiming the goodness and love of God, especially the love he had for particular people in our youth too :D amazing! So many others experienced the love and joy of Jesus too, like a dear friend of mine who was dancing in the Holy Spirit and a few others experienced freedom through deliverance etc. Was such an epic night! I loved it!
Unfortunately some others didnt enjoy it and a few leaders unfortunately didnt think it was a move of God. This has actually made it quite hard for me, as how can i serve in this youth group when there is disunity among the group. Sigh or should i even be in this youth group was a question i was pondering a few weeks ago. I eventually prayed and consulted my mum who said that this is good training ground for me, and she had a word from the Lord that "this youth group is only temporary" so thank Jesus! :)
So yeah it not all bad. We had a leaders meeting the other evening and thanks to God we are gonna just have a hard out bible study at youth group, like cos we were previously going to have it seperate which a few of us disagreed on...but yeah enough about being negative. I'm over it now. Well trying. God is in control...oh how my sprit yearns for revival!! How we need it! Please people keep praying. Keep at it. Things are hard atm, but hold onto the hope that Christians...or should i say Jesus followers :) are gonna rise up. WE gonna impact this world. We're gonna leave this place on a high note! Just keep striving for the narrow path. Hold onto your standards. Sure the world and even Christians are telling you not to be so extreme...but dont give in! Flip God is sooo much more than pleasing others!!!
Flip i need prayer ! I hope everyone is well. i will put pictures in my next post. Something random and nice :) take care folk.

March
Figured that mayby if I simply put a month as my title then ill def update like every month. I know its not as often as i would like but hey, i am busy and i need to be realistic! (hmm perhaps i should have made it my goals to write on this..ah well).
So lately things have been ultra busy! I'm working three jobs, (not as bad as it sounds haha) and leading youth group (which i know I've mentioned!) and well those things are pretty much taking up all my time! SO here i am at 1.30am writing on my blog.
To be honest I'm not sure what I'll write. Usually my blogs are rather negative, and I dont particuarly want to rant on about something in my life right now. Im in a rather positvie mood.
Autumn
Yes I'm writing about the weather er season but same thing..kinda. Ya know how when things are real like going nowhere in a convo, and so either party brings up that weather? Yes I'm doing just that right now tehe. Except two things, this isnt a conversation so it cant like not go anyway (excuse all my like puncutaion etc btw) and secondly, I talk the weather cos i like it tehe. I love warm windy days, pounding rain on the rooftop days, and then those days when the sun is just peeking through the clouds, wanting to surprise you with it's wonderful warmth, but afraid of all the grey, angry clouds surrounding it :D Yes the weather of autumn (or fall for most of yous :p). Bliss. Even when the leaves die, I get excited! And that sounded weird but i dont care atm.
hmm tired will fin this tomorrow or saturday :)
So I'm back and its Saturday by the way :) Had such a busy day. Last night I recieved a phonecall from my boss asking me to work this morning. So i was up at 6 and when I finished, I then went to do some fundraising by stacking wood for a local farmer. There was soo much! ah well it's all for a good cause! :)
Now where was I? Ah yes, so am still loving the weather we're having at the mo.Its soo warm and here we call it like an Indian summer, cos its supposed to get soo much cooler, but surprisingly its still rather warm :)
Right im just gonna write 5 things to be thankful for (Ashley you've inspired me by your Thankful thursdays )
So heres mine
1. This is gonna sound kinda lame, but Im thankful for the internet. It's how I keeps in touch with friends, meet new people and fellowship with other believers :)
2. I'm thankful for my family. I mean sure they get on my nerves on more than one occasion, but heck they've always been there for me and well I know they're never let me down. I really ought to show them more, how much i appreciate their patience especially, with me.
3. I'm thankful for where I live. I mean its a new country. It doesnt have like dangerous predetors and heck spiders here are like harmless (except for the white-bait ;) (inside joke btw) spider) but aside from that, New Zealand is a beautiful and pretty safe country. Thankyou Lord!
4.I'm thankful for food. Its great! lol
5.Oh heck my friends! I'm indeed thankful for their loving natures, and their caring souls. I can say the stupedest thing and it doesnt matter. They get me (most of the time haha)I just wish my close ones, lived closer to me (lol bad er grammer), cos i dont get to see them much-hense me living internet lol.
well thats my list. heck ive been slack lately eh
hope all is well people!
till next time, sorry for annoying yous with my bad spelling and punctuation!
God bless
So lately things have been ultra busy! I'm working three jobs, (not as bad as it sounds haha) and leading youth group (which i know I've mentioned!) and well those things are pretty much taking up all my time! SO here i am at 1.30am writing on my blog.
To be honest I'm not sure what I'll write. Usually my blogs are rather negative, and I dont particuarly want to rant on about something in my life right now. Im in a rather positvie mood.
Autumn
Yes I'm writing about the weather er season but same thing..kinda. Ya know how when things are real like going nowhere in a convo, and so either party brings up that weather? Yes I'm doing just that right now tehe. Except two things, this isnt a conversation so it cant like not go anyway (excuse all my like puncutaion etc btw) and secondly, I talk the weather cos i like it tehe. I love warm windy days, pounding rain on the rooftop days, and then those days when the sun is just peeking through the clouds, wanting to surprise you with it's wonderful warmth, but afraid of all the grey, angry clouds surrounding it :D Yes the weather of autumn (or fall for most of yous :p). Bliss. Even when the leaves die, I get excited! And that sounded weird but i dont care atm.

End of feb
Hey bloggers!
I want sure what to call this post and well that's all that i could come up with- its is 1am btw. THis times actually isnt too bad for me but still i should break that habit of staying up late haha am such a night owl!
Youth
Okay so youth group is finally up and running. It's really good this year, which is probabley too soon to say seeing as we've only had one meetin so far, but I mean like the organising is just excellent. I have been chosen as leader...haha thats sounds like some kind of dictatoshhip or something, that sentence, don't you think?? What I mean is, I and another old classmate have been chose as like youth leaders of the group, mainly because we've both just finished school and arnt moving on to Uni or anything this year. SO yeah its been real good, because we've been having like "leader" meetings lol and we've mangaed to plan like 3 weeks ahead of time, its great! To be honest I am finding it rather hard, cos Im not really a loud person, or am I like leader material (atleast thats what i think, ive been told by God and lots of other people, well otherwise) and yeah. Cos like at our first youth group meeting we were trying to organise games and well no-one was listening, there was just no respect..I found it quite idk offending. You know, like this generation is soo bad with respect, its horrific! So yeah this is a learning experiance for me, which I hope will bring the "leader-ness" (lol) right outta me. I would appreciate prayer btw :)
Engagement
Hahaha no Im not engaged! lol I just put that title to remind me of the engagement party I went to in the weekend. It was actually last years youth group leaders that became engaged! It was very lovely...but unfortunately alot of things went down. Im not going to go hugely into detail (that wouldnt be fair) but it would be safe to say that I learnt personally from attending this. You see Im completely opposed to drinking (as in alcohol) as I've seen the effects first hand and I know what it can lead too etc. But unfortunately on this night i drank. Thank the Lord it was only a few, but the guilt i felt afterwards was pretty big. I guess I just saw that everyone else (Christian and non Christian) were having a few and so I caved. Grr im really annoyed at myself, not only cos i lowered my standards (atleast I think thats what my standards are..heck im annoyed Im so "double-minded" on the matter also) but i also did this in front of minors who attend youth group. I mean heck, what is that showing them! Ughhh ...
Could you girls please pray for me?? or even leave me some advice? I really would appreciate it!
well think ill leave it at that for now.
