Pumpkin Patch News :)

 And in the News Today:

Okay :) I am going to give an update on my life. These updates go according to recentness (?Is that a word?) Sorry, I am just trying to inform you because I might do this more often ;)

Today, Miss LaughsAlot fractured a bone in her arm :( I am hoping that she can still play on Saturday! Because after the match we are going to visit my niece =D

We are playing a netball match on Saturday against my old school :)

My grandpa is in the hospital because he has gout (cant spell that). And now one of the pumps in his body infected and he had to go from ICU to the theater :(

My dad has gone to visit him at the the private hospital, 2hrs from where my grandparents live and about 5 hours from where we live.

My dog is turning 100 in 2 and a half months time. It is in dog years though. Or else we would've been in the Guiness Book of Records like, a1000 times ;)

My teachers are giving us 4 projects for the same day :( I got 16/16 for tech!

That's it so far! OMW..what a week ^_^

The Hillsong Conference DVD .

I don't know how many people have watched this DVD, but the Hillsong Conference DVD is truly life-changing. In the beginning when the guy talks he states that it doesn't matter who you are or what you have, it is all about the glory of God. And it is. It doesn't matter that you have a phone or an iPod or a laptop or even a huge house. God doesn't care about these things. And neither should we.

If we didn't have God we would be nothing. We are nothing without Him. He is our everything and our all. I don't want to imagine what the world would be like without Him. We need to keep close to God because He loves us more than anything. It is the least we can do. And I mean the least. Sitting here, listening to this DVD, I am realising that we are just specs. God is amazing and there are absolutely NO words to describe Him.

You can't write how amazing He is in words. It would take forever, literally. What strikes me is that we don't appreciate what we have and who we have. God gives us all these things on earth like family and friends and nature. Do we care for them all the time? No we don't. We get mean to people, we litter and we fight.This guy is saying that we need support. He uses the ark as an example. They must have gotten in each others hair in that boat. But you know something?? They learnt to love each other. They learnt to support each other. This guy said that taking away someones weakness is robbing them from their strength.

Right now I wish I could preach like that man but I have more talent in writing these things to millions of people than to say it to them. I think people should study their Bibles more. You can never know the Bible by heart. For the rest of your life if you think you know it off by heart, you are only going to go back to it and find that there was something that you missed and you will only get a new perspective on life. That's how things work.

Sometimes I get the urge to just go out there and tell the world, Christian and non-christian, what I feel about God. I wanna get it out of me and explain how amazing God is in front of millions of people but...two words...stage fright..hahaha! (I love acting but then, that isn't in front of millions of people- only on the big screen) I want to go out and sing to people because I just want to worship God. What could be better?

God is the best  friend we all thought we could never have. He loves us and wants us to be open with Him. Even though He knows what is wrong already, I am pretty sure He likes it when we run to Him and tell Him everything. It amazes me that he watches every single one of us all the time. It seems nearly impossible. But it's true.

To close this post, I want to remind all of you that there is a purpose for everything in life and that what ever happens to you is for a purpose and it is part of Gods plan :) Always remember: God is always going to love you no matter what. So go out there today and show people the talents He has given you. Show them that God loves you!! And them!!
P.S: The guy is T.D Jakes :) Sorry, only figured that out now :D

Not so big!

I see Jesus as my number 1 hero :) Do you know anyone that would willingly die for you in such a cruel way? He died because God asked him to :D That takes some serious guts.

The other day, my mom showed me an email. This picture was in the email and it shows every single galaxy that we have discovered or viewed so far.
The Milky Way galaxy is not visible on that photo :o That is how small we are.The galaxies that you can see are some of the biggest. The blank spaces show tiny galaxies such as ours.
When I first saw that i thought: "Yow!!" Our problems are like specs. Not even. The earth is like a spec and on this photo, so is our galaxy. we are not big. We are tiny. now think of this. God made all that. So just think how incredibly big He must be :) He can do anything! So don't tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big your God is! ^-^

rrrghh..

Stupid thing! It cut off the last post because there was a photo with it that couldn't upload!

Sporty Chic:
She is a good friend and she is incredibly funny!! It looks like she doesn't try to be but she is :) She loves hockey to and we know that she will always stay loyal to her friends :) She will stick by us through thick and thin ^-^

My friends :) They're special ^-^ Don't hurt them :D

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!

When I first read this I thought: "Oh my word!! That's so true!" And it is :) I mean, what would we do without our friends? Try going around at school on your own for one day. It's horrible!

I am going to introduce you to my current everyday friends :) And when i say 'current' I mean: right now but probably forever ;) Here goes: (not in specific order)

Miss LaughAlot: 
Always making me laugh which is great because she lightens up any day! She is one of those people that you look at and then start laughing :) Not in a bad way, just because she has such a lovable personality ^-^

 Horsey Freak:
And honestly, I mean it :) The deputy head girl is one of those people who wouldn't try to hurt someone or be angry for the world :) It is a wonderful personality-trait to have :) And she is the one who was nice to me from the start ^-^

Karate Kid:
She is the type of person that you can always trust :) What makes that so good is that so many people trust her and she can actually keep up with it all :) Always willing to laugh and she makes good puns  ^-^ 

The...Goalie...
Is that how you spell goalie? I'm not sure..? Anyways, she always stands up for me and she is there when anyone needs her:) Also, she is the best hockey goalie on the planet and apparently wants me to start kick-boxing with her..Aaaaaaw! We love you anyway! Oh and she is my Guitar-Fwendy!

"Friends are the family we choose ourselves"
Love you my friends!

Making Pizza

Piiiizzzzaaaa :)

Last night, my friends and I made pizza. Well, I wouldn't exactly call it that but surprisingly, it was very yummy!
The first problem that we had was to make the dough round. It was a big fight in the supermarket to decide whether we should actually make the base ourselves or buy a ready-made one. (Sigh..) It was 2 against 1 but the 1 (!!) won. Did you get that? Anyway, we had to make the base.
Then we needed ingrediants..One of my friends wanted chicken but the rest of us wanted ham. So, we settled for chicken-ham :) Guess what came next?? CHEESE. Was there too little or maybe too much? Do we need exoensive ones or cheap ones. Do you want to see how clever we are? (once again) We decided on one big, expensive cheese and one small, cheap one :) hahaha :)
Next came tomatoes and then pudding. We had a budget that we surprsisngly kept. And we even had enough for Eclairs :)
Thanks for the sums Crazy One :)

Aaaaaw!

Hey Everyone! Feel free to pet, feed or play with my virtual pet :)

The new trendy colour (?)

I walked into a salon this morning with my mom and I noticed that everyone in the salon was either dressed in full black or mostly black. Ok, I know that it's a salon and they dont want to get their clothes dirty. And I'll admit that I was wearing black boots and my leggings were partly black. But why?

Black is slimming and it looks good on a lot of people. Yet, I still dont see the point in wearing so much of it. Here is a scenario :) (Not real)

A girl walks in the mall and she wears only black. The cashiers notice and say: "She looks quite nice." The next day the same thing. But by the end of the week, she looks boring and the cashiers are thinking: "Uh-uh..."

You get people that wear A LOT of pink. As in pink ONLY ;) That is'nt bad. Yet it  gives the outfit an over-the-top look. You know? In fact, it is not only black clothes. Any color worn too much looks a bit silly after a while :)

So why not mix 'n match colors and be bright and airy? It makes a huge difference ^-^

Exhausting but Fun Times

MY Really Special Holiday :)

Well, this holiday was seriously fun. We went to really beautiful places and saw some of our family. This is ALWAYS fun. I have a such an interesting family, that it's hard not to be. We are always full of jokes and laughs and giggles. I feel that, that is what a family should be.

The 1st week we stayed at home mostly. I got my hair cut in a horrible layered cut :( Hahaha but it didn't look too bad at first.
I read a lot of books and watched lots of movies!

When the second week approached, we were packed up and ready to go visit some ostriches! Before we decided to stop at my Grandparents house first. We ate loads and watched lots of TV (?!) there. Then we headed off to the osriches. I got an 'Ostrich Drivers Licence' :) This is a big achievement for me :-D (Also very scary and fast). I learnt a big load of things about ostriches! Breeding, feathers, food, eggs and species.

Next, we went to --drum roll please-- the ZOO!! While my Mom took pictures, my Dad and I played with.....BABY CHEETAHS!! (These are ADORABLE) :)  We also looked at various bird species, crocodiles (who were hibernating), snakes, spiders, otters (very cute and clever), meerkats, White tigers (VERY rare) and white lions.

     A lunch was needed. It was decided that after lunch we would go to the caves. You could take 2 tours. We went on the adventure tour ( the better one). It was like some big secret passage and we had a VERY enthusiastic tour guide. She made it so cool for us. We made our way back to home. On the way we saw snow on the pass and by the mountains.

It was really beautiful! And so we reached the end of our trip.The next week we just 'chilled' at home. Then, the real special came :) My brothers daughter came to stay with us while they went to the really cool Hillsong Conference in Sydney. we have had sooo much fun with her! She is busy and FULL of energy! But that doesnt stop her from being cute ;)

So I bet you can see why this holiday has been so great for us! Thank you Jesus :) ^-^
