Hey followers!!
I am so so so so sorry to have neglected my blog for...around five months!
I think of you always, you're never far from my heart!
So well what happened is that I got two, and then Three jobs all at the same time and was working manically, doing 53+ hour working weeks! If that is a fair excuse then I am excused.
I feel like God has humbled me, because what happened is that I Was doing million hour weeks, things were going swimmingly well (so I thought, I actually really on the way to burning out) I was paying large amounts off my debts at a time (due to a large debt) I was tithing sort of regularly, and I had extra money to do things that I wanted to do, for example, going to the movies... (more on that later..)
I did all this for a month all two, casually wearing myself into the ground, but rejoicing when Sunday came because not only was it my only day off it was also CHURCH!!! all day!!! :D :D :D
I did not realise that doing an occasional 14 hour day 7am - 10pm was not only bad for my health but also my mind set. You see, I was getting rather prideful, and "independent" relying on my income rather than God's grace. I am not against working a full week, but what I was doing was Overkill!!
So about God humbling me.
I am now working 16 hour weeks...sometimes more, sometimes less.
Gone is the large paycheck but also the figurative treadmill I was attempting to run on each day.
I feels strangely delightful to be able to sleep in until 10am, rather than forcing myself out of bed at 6am.
Also, it is so great to be able to hang around with wonderful people on a regular basis!
:)
I am a connect group addict, and because I was working some nights and such, I could not attend all of these. I am happy to say I am now back on my 4-5 connect groups a week swing.
On a not too unrelated note, I love working with my friend, fellow C3 attendee and manager Amy Chiles!
She has helped me amazingly. Thanks to her I work every monday at Quattro Cafe, situated inside Elim Cathedral of Hope. Mondays are my favourite day to work as I get to make lots and lots of coffee (which I love) and talk to awesome customers, some who come in every single day and order the exact same thing! And there are some who are oblivious that it is a cafe inside a church. :P
The other day it was raining, not heavily, just enough to warrant the use of an umbrella. Anyway I was walking to work and instead of listening to various songs on my mp3 I accessed youtube on my phone and played "Let it Rain" by Jesus Culture
Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven.
I feel the rains of Your Love,
I feel the winds of Your Spirit,
And now the heartbeat of Heaven,
Let us hear.
Because we want to see You;
Show us Your Glory.
And we want to know You, Lord.
They're quite simple lyrics but very profound, and the whole experience was quite beautiful.
It is sweet, simple moments like that in life that I want to really treasure, and sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in the little annoying things and fixate on those.
The year is flying by, and soon I'll be 23. This is exciting and scary, and also weird! Weird because half the people I know think I'm 18 still ( or 16)
In fact, a new person at C3 a couple of months ago would not believe me about being 22, and I ended up showing him my drivers license!! O.O
Yeah...but that's worthy of another blog for another time!! Because I promise I will write more regularly, maybe. ;D
Because I really really love reading peoples' blogs, for example Holly May Bruce and Sophie Laughton Mutu, theirs have to be my absolute favourites!!
Maybe I should get a laptop???
But I'd rather pay my debts first, or getaway rego.
So, ABOUT GOING TO THE MOVIES.
This isn't that exciting, but I thought caplocks would liven things up a bit, plus I barely slept at all last night.
I have seen about a dozen (maybe more) movies this year alone.
Here are some that I have gone to watch.
The Fighter
Captain America
The Help
Friends With Benefits
Love and Other Drugs
The Change Up
Crazy Stupid Love
What's Your Number
Real Steel
Kung Fu Panda 2
Cowboys and Aliens
Something Borrowed
Horrible Bosses
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
WOAH, that's heaps!!!
I really do love going to the movies, so if you ever want to accompany me feel free to! (if you're not 50 :P)
I'm being kicked off this computer now, so yes!!
Goodbye!!
We shall talk again.
