People read my blog?!

haha, i guess the lack of comments doesn't mean lack of readers! haha.

So yes, I am sorry my dearest blog that i have neglected you for a few days... so i will tell almost all!


Saturday!
I woke up at 7:45, 7:50, 7:55, 8:00 and got out of bed. Then showered etc, packed for camp (more later) and talked on MSN/ICQ. So yes.. 2.5 (minus 5 mins) hours later at 10:25... i call my bro to see if he can bring an extra sleepingbag. We are supposed to leave at 10:30, and i woke him up haha. So we left at about 11:30... and left pennant hills 11:50... the thing started at 12:00 which was pretty funny because it was in Penrith. So we left, and sang and talked about lots of things which was fun.
The camp was the "summer camp house party" for all the small group leaders at Presbyterian Youth's summer camp... (ie, me and bec are 2 of them). It is a weekend designed to train us for the event, and give us a bit of a heads up. Was good. We had fun, and I learnt quite a lot - which is good.
That went until Sunday arvo about 1pm. (Oh, and we played this cool game, where we did a simulation of camp, and we were in groups of three tied together, and we had to go around to different aspects of camp and sort out problems and we were awarded mintees for our solutions.. lets just say.. bec kelly and i got 83... haha)
Yeha, but it was fun.

Then we went to the shops on the way home, Andrew bought "LoLa;s THeme" by Shape shifteres.. and i bought shoes.
Then I went to Bess's kitchen tea, where it's like a celebration of her marriage.. mel and I hung out together, and then we went to youth group and played this game where we had to build a "neuclear bomb" type thing it was reallly funny... I sprinted from someone trying to pull off my armband. and now I am sore.

We then went to study/dinner at hte Irvins for youth group.. and andrew says to me and bec and mel as we get out of the car, this is the psalm we're doing... can you lead the study. But it was good, we learnt a lot trying to teach (well I did anyway).

We seniors had a really challenging study last night, on Titus 2: 11-14

Titus 2

11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.


It's what being a christian is all about. The fact that God has not only granted us eternal life, but that we were created to be a people of his, eagar to do what is good in God's eyes. It was very challenging. Very good study last night. I spent a lot of time afterwards reading my bible and praying which was very good.... and i even started singing in front of bec, (but i didn't really notice), but next thing i knew i was crying on her shoulder.
And then, (so embaressing) it was possibly Abra's last night leading youth group (she gets married on sat :-) ) and so i gave her a hug and burst into tears... how embaressing! Lots of stuff is happenig, a brother getting married, a good friend getting married... my best friend getting married (my bro)... and lots of changes. and it's a bit hard, but I know that it is wonderful that they are getting married and i'm really happy for them :-)


But yes. I is the hungry, and stuff.. so i'm going ot go!
