Life's little whispers...

Hiya...long time that i haven't written.. I can't believe its already the....22nd... time has been flying so much.. I'm back home now..been back for nearly 2 weeks..and yet it really hasn't felt like it at all. Yesterday, Dora, Kat, Manda, Jo and I went to see the Lion King musical :) it was sooo amazing!! ^_^ I really enjoyed it. The costumes were just awesome...!! soo creative and..yeah...the whole thing was really well done. I still can't get over the fact that the people can sing, dance..and move in the right way at the same time(no mistakes either...)!!! hahaha...I'm not that coordinated..

I've been really dazed the last few days...it seems as if ...things are happening, I'm going places, seeing people...but all of it seems so...unreal...almost fake. I'm not sure why I'm thinking in such a way.. maybe i 'm disappointed.. I guess I expected a lot out of people..and when they didn't really meet up to that expectation I got disappointed... and well...I KNOW I shouldn't put my expectations in people but rather in God...but I seem to fall into this trap over and over... The people I care the most about...don't seem to care at all.. and I guess it hurts to a degree.. its hard. But God's really been pulling through all the more. The more people fail me, the more God seems to be able to lift me back up. I guess its harder back at home.. cuz in Adelaide, I could really be myself..I didn't haveto live up to anyone's expectation except God's which God helped me do... but...back home, so many other things, other people.. pressure..and yeah I think I'm feeling lost in it all. I was reminded of a verse today...one that I really like..but haven't told myself in awhile..

"Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:5-6 I may not understand what's going on, but I just need to trust, he's moving in me more than I feel and...that he's working in the people around me as well...that they may also draw closer to him. Lord I need you....

Hiya =) today was such an amazingly beautiful day outside...the sky was completely clear...no clouds and soooooo blue. I was surprised by a phone call this morning ^_^ it was great!!! I nearly began to cry out of joy... it was only when I heard the voices of my family calling that I began to realize that I missed home. Time has flew by so quickly here that I haven't really thought about it. Its a blessing though cuz it wouldn't be good to dwell on it. But especially today, I realized even more so how much God has blessed me with.

Tiff and I walked to Glenelg today. It took nearly 2 hours :) but it was sooo nice....enjoying the weather, just chatting about goals, and different things....it was really nice to get a chance to share with her and learn more about her ^_^. Getting to the beach, we just stared at the ocean, the blueness of it all, the sparkling water, the waves, the birds, the breeze....just trying to take it all in. We soaked it. Walking along the beach each on our own, choosing shells, our shoes sinking into the sand , the water washing in... ^_^ BEAUTiFUL ! :) It was funny...cuz at one point...Tiff turned around, back to the ocean,...and I yelled out "Tiff" she looked up at me...as water rushed in and surrounded her feet ...hehe....she jumped back to shore ^_^ hehehe.... we had our laughs...I really thank her for spending the day with me. =)

At youth group, I was met with many surprises. I thought I had gotten through the night and I was about to heave a sigh of relief hehe...but yet...at the time when I least expected it.... I'm not a big fan of surprises but... I was surprised to hear so many come up to me to talk ....and yeah :) I really thank the youth in C.I.A (Christians In Action) for just making my night so enjoyable :) Your thoughts and everything...were really appreciated. =) Its going to be sad leaving all these wonderful people behind... but I hope that in their journey of life, they will continue to experience God's love and who knows....one day...our paths may cross once again :)
