2009

I truly believe that 2009 is going to be an amazing year, not just for me but for others everywhere. Ill be in my 2nd year of uni with a extremely hectic full time schedule, especially if i do Bible college thursday nights, ( might have to wait till i graduate before i can do it!) But everyday i get excited for the new year ahead, a fresh start and more goals to achieve. I plan on saving $5000 so i can be part of mobilise 1000 and go to Uganda in Jan 2010. SO excited for that. 2010 will be a big year as it will be my last year of my 1st degree and much more stuff that i can not yet reveal. My only source of income is babysitting and having no car for a week while it is getting fixed is not helpful but i always seem to have enough money and that is truly the work of God. I would still love to win the lottery so i could do many amzing things with it. If i am i ment to go to Uganda in just over a year, God will make it happen. God put Uganda in my heart for a reason.
I still can not believe it will be november in a few days, i am looking forward to having Empire on sunday nights, it will bring a whole new dynamic to it and leave fridays nights for other amazing things to happen! It will be good to see many more young adults there as there a plenty at church!
Just thought id share my excitement for the next few years ahead! although they will be hectic im sure they will be amazing!
just get pumped for 2009!

Children

I am seriously disgusted at the way society and today's culture treat children. The children today are much less innocent than they were Children are fully aware of what strangers can do to them, they know swear words from school, they know all about sex and drugs. Some even drink alcohol! im am talking about 5-10 year olds. The stories ive heard and things ive seen upset me greatly. I believe children should stay children for as long as possible. I only had 8 years of childhood and they were the best years ever. Why there are bras avaliable for 5 year olds is beyond me, high heels and knee high boots for this age range is just plain wrong.

As a student nurse and wanting to be a midwife we constantly want to save the lives of children, babies and even unborn babies and with the new legislation that is now approved for babies to be aborted in the 3rd trimester is extremely concerning. A baby can survive with neonatal care from as young as 20-22 weeks which is 5 months gestation. Abortions are now allowed to 24 weeks and longer if certain circumstances. This new law is justified by womens right to their bodies. When you become pregnant the right to your body belongs to that child not you. Women change their diet,sleep,excercise regime and the way they dress think and feel just to make sure that the baby is healthy. If you want the right to your body then protect your body from becoming pregnant, many of these women get pregnant whilst intoxicated. Sure there are circumstances that may be deemed necessary, but that baby deserves the right to fight for its life. Abortion is murder! I have seen the effects of still births and SIDs which is known as cot death. It is the most heartbreaking thing to see parents go through. They would give anything to bring their baby back, yet there are people intentionally killing there children you could be adopted. It goes against a mothers instinct to kill their unborn child. My entire life is dedicated to women and babies, and i find it extremely disturbing at how acceptable the world is becoming of many things that should never be acceptable.

Why should i know how to give a 12- 13 year old girl or boy a safe sex talk? its is just appalling that it is acceptable for 14-15year olds to be having sex and to be prepared for even 11 year olds to be! there is a reason why there are legal ages. There is a reason as to why people are growing up more and more messed up.

As Christians we must stand out and take a stand. We see the light, know the truth and are following the way of Jesus. It is so crucial for us to be out in society showing these children that there is a better and different way to live! Sure people will think we are wierd or strange but when they see how much better of we are they will begin to wonder why!

My birthday!

Tuesday 14th October was such a good and very busy day! totally exhausted! woke up at 6am, my parents came in at 6.55am singing happy birthday with my card and pressies, my uncle rang from england, got ready then my nan rang. spent the morning with a friend, then went up to montville and had lunch with my mum :) did some shopping, then had coffee with another friend, then had a family dinner of chinese :) then birthday cake. Went to knect and then came home and a friend stayed over and watched a movie, finally went to bed at 12.30am ! so long day! My phone didnt stop with texts and the phone was always ringing for me which i loved. A friend of mine asked if i felt any different being 18, honeslt not at all! i feel like i have freedom from my parents,and that now everything is on me. People also tend to take you more seriously when you say your 18 rather than 17. Just feel like im getting old!

I am grateful that i passed my anatomy resist :) God is truly paving the path for me through uni, very obvious throughout the year that this is exactly what God wants me to be doing.

I have started to make friends at uni after spending a year trying very hard to not get involved with that party scene and im still not involved however the people there are truly in need of God and its so heartbreaking to hear the way people talk and portray themselves. Just have to keep pressing into the uni, the day is coming i can feel it!

Last day as 17!

my last entry as a 17 year old is quite an exciting one! i look forward to not needing parents signatures any longer for anything! and by law am officially an adult and it is a nice sense of freedom that my parents have no control over me now what so ever! My parents are not Christians and do not agree with my life. So this for me is very exciting! come 6.55 am 14th october 2008 i will be 18. My words of wisdom are simply do not worry about stuff that you have no control over. If you can do something about it then do it. Otherwise dont stress yourself! i have a had a busy week! went to youth camp down the Gold coast which was awesome, and very impacting, i went thinking i was not going to be impacted so greatly by God as much as last year. How wrong was I! i ended up having a vision, and so did someone else about me and now knows things about me that they couldnt possibly have known! and God revealed why i have certain talents of mine which is totally awesome! my entire life before i even knew God he was creating me in every way for his purpose only! so we get back at 3am and i then have to write an essay due the next day! back to uni then back to the Gold coast for shopping and drive in movies! so much fun! then back at 2am and up at 7. My bday lunch and then i slept for 12 hours! much needed sleep! I am so excited for the year ahead, i am determined to make 2009 and me now being 18 the best year ever! i have so many things i want to do. Would love to go to Bible College but do not have the time next year so will have to do short courses!
I am seriously continuely amazed at God and how we just have to think something and God will make it happen! or i say it while praying in tongues!
We do not have long left on earth so we need to keep telling the world about Jesus!
Pray and dont stop praying or praising God for mighty things will be done!
