Faithfulness

Hey guys!

Its been a pretty busy and random week haha.
Well at least i am finally off anti-biotics, but I think I am starting to get sick again :(
hehhee oh yeh btw spring is so annoying! *sneeze* *my eyes!!* :D

Soem pretty funny stuff have happened to me during the past week at school lol.
Firstly, i was walking at school, and I yawned, then a fly flew in my moutH!! AHH!!
Thats the kind of stuff u see in movies. I didn't know it was actually possible in real life... :)

And today, I 'swallowed' my chewie! I feel sick now haha. Well I alwaays eat chewing gum in the morning, andd I usually keep it in my mouth, but today, the gum dissolved into mini pieces, and I accidently swallowed it! GG!!! Dont buy apple flavour extra gum- it is baDD!!! U die if u eat! ahH!



Fungus:
Praise and Worship was really different this week at Fungus. The 'Praise' part is generally thanking God for stuff, so what we did was to pass the mic around to everyone and they thanked God for what wanted to thank him for.

I really love it how Fungus encourages us to be more genuine with our relationship with God. Its made a huge impact on my life. Thanks Qynnie!

One quality I really admire is faithfulness. Our God is faithful- regardless of who we are, or what we've done. In Chris Tomlin's 'Your Grace is Enough', the first line goes ""Great is your faithfulness oh God; you wrestle with the sinners heart"

God doesn't give up on us just because we are sinners, but he wrestles with our hearts so that we can have a second chance to repent. I try to be as faithful as i can to other people, cause i believe it is a really important quality to have.


Qynnie's 30th! Wohoho!!

On Saturday the 25th, Qynn turned 30! wow! double digits now! hhehe. We went to play soccer on Sunday after church, then went for dinner at La Porchetta Box Hill later.

Soccer:
The weather was warm on sunday, so soccer was pretty fun hehe. Sunday is my unco day, so yeh.. I was keeper for a fair bit of the time. it was fun :) its funny how our team (a pretty noob one) was on like a 4 game winning streak, including defeating Qynns team in like 1 min.

La PorchettA:

I didnt expect dinner to take so long, and I had quite a bit of hw i was planning to do. We ate a buffet dinner hehe. It was pretty cool. I just ate full on pizza lawl.

We played a pizza eatign game after.
There were 4 teams. They were Altitude with darren, Fungus leaders, Fungus boys, And Fungus girls.

The results were pretty surprising. Fungus leaders came first, then the Fungus girls (wow), Fungus boys, then Altitude peeps. hhehee u eat so slow!!

The loser was meant to dance in front of randoms at the restaurant, but we wernt allowed to causr the owner of the restaurant is a homo.... So instead, they went to the middle of the road and harrassed oncoming cars lol.

HAppy Birthday Qynnie! Ur the awesomest youth pastor ever!! (i am being serious!)


Well guys i gonna go and sleep now ehehe. I got a flu again and mega hayfever lol :)

2.5 in 1 blog :D

Hi peeps!
Soz for my laze at blogging, so here is a blog :)

1. bahhaha
As u might not have noticed, i been fairly sick for the past week. I had a flu and missed like 3 days off school lol. That made me feel guilty! >.< Anyway, I still sick, but I thank God for not letting me get any worse. Read on :)

2. FunGus!
There was soemthing abotu Fungus yesterday that stood out to me. That was praise and worship. So many times we see people who worship lead just by 'singing a song.' What definately stood out to me was Isaac; leading with a heart that sincerely loves God. That is what leadership is; setting a good example for us.


The topic of the message was salvation. To summarise it- We are saved by our belief in God. Faith without deeds is indeed dead; as how can we say we believe if we can't back it up with deeds? It is also by God's grace and love for us that we are saved. Pretty simple.


3. Jerusha and Mr Tools bday!

Happy Birthday Isaac and jerusha!!! lol! Ur the coolest twins I know :)
Today we went to their bday party by the beach. Pretty nice weather I gotta admit.
From swimming in jellyfish-infested waters, to completely owning Isaac and others, the day was really fun.
lol when we first got to the water, all of us were to chicken to even go anywhere near there. That was coz there were jellyfish! eww! They are fat! eww!
lol after like ages of standign near the waters edge with our jaws wide open, some of us finally decided to just jump in. The water was surprisingly cold, since it aws so sunny lol. I think I only bumped into one about two times :) it felt eww.

anyway mr brain doesnt seem to be functioning properly -.- i cant think of wat to write
Yeh before we left, we planned to do tonnes of meanie stuff to Isaac :)
We had our chilli and oyster sauce to put in his hair, eggs to put down his pants (eew!), shavign cream to 'cream' him with, and flour to chuck at him lol.

We creeped up to him while he was playing volleyball, took him down, then unleashed our stuff on him lols. His hair was like all red and slimy, and he looked like a snowman at the beach with all that shaving cream on him hahha. I was the person responisible for the oyster sauce mess, and I accidently hit on of my fellow comrades; mr goh, while wildly shaking my bottle bahaha. Soz man! yeh all the and around that area was totally red lmao. It looks like someone got shot there...

After Isaac washed off all that stuff, things went a little out of hand- nearly every innocent bystander got creamed! lol! Luckily I wasnt a victim of the creaming lol. I feel sorry for Isaac with those eggs down his pants lmao- i bet they dont feel to comfortable!

After that I went back the end :)

Cya peeps. I am really tired now lol.. cya!

School!

Hi peeps!!
School is starting on Monday! oh noO! the worst part is daylight saving the day before school! ayaHH! I lost my prechus sleep :( Oh that reminds me to start my hw lol. hehehe. any smart people wanna volunteer? haha

But i gotta say, these holidays have been pretty refreshing and fun at the same time :)

Yesterday at Fungus we talked about reading the Bible i thinkk
well in our discussion group, i was actually surprised that not many people read the bible reguarly, and some have never actually read it at all! woah! I wonder how they survive lol.
Some people see reading the bible as a chore; but it reality, it is really beneficial. Oh sHUCKS! i just glanced at the weather forecast for monday on my taskbar. gg its 13 raining -.-

Well back to topic:
Personally, i dont see how we can grow in faith or extend our relationship with him without God's word. Like yeh if u dun read the bible, you wouldnt know what God expects of you, and what is right or wrong etc. When u go to church and stuff, the pastor guy basically takes out the verses for you and explains it. That is good; cause its like readign the bible.

But why then should WE read the bible ourselves aswell?
Firstly, cause wat the pastor says may not be extirely relevant to your life during the many situations you go through. So by readign the bible yourself, God can speak to you all the time, and entirely to you.

Yeh we were going through some discussion of why some of us didnt read the bible. I remember kimmy said if it was liek a glossy magazine, she would read it. lol. I begun to wonder if my blog was a pain to the eye? I better start putting in some pics lol. That might help ur eyes not to hurt too much.

But about the bible reading thing: I find reading the bible 'food to the soul'. For me, if i dont read the bible, something in my life seems missing. You can learn heaps of stuff from God's own word, so put some time aside, and welcome to the wonderful world of hardcore bible reading ^^

Here is a pic i found. its really funny haha



Well anyways enjoy school/uni guys! Rememebr to put god in the center of everything you do, cause he deserves more than all we can give him. God bless!
