Daily Posting.

So i thought i'd keep up this daily-posting tradition for at least one more day... :) since the term kinda kicks off 2moro! Actually, its kinda useful to write stuff down on here...organising some thoughts, remembering stuff i need to do...rethinking the day through...stuff which was ok...stuff which needs to change...

Woke up INSANELY early today...i'd forgotten what it felt like! Picked up G-dude from new street...mosey-ed to antneys...dropped him off...drove home...slept from the shock of waking up so early...woke up again and somehow found my way to bush's...mooched around...ate chinese-halal-food...space raiders...*grins*...talked of uni-ing...some truly, truly girly subjects...scientology...scaryness of cults...told bushra-jokes...ah...i do love these peoples.

Im still feeling the after effects of being hit yesterday...took the brunt of a smash...*winces* ON MY HEAD! oh im so cool. And yes...it is bruised :P Talking of bruises...i also walked into my cooker...*looks around*. Its yellow! (the bruise not the cooker) been a while since i had a bruise this big...its fairly impressive :P who needs rugby to get bruises when you have a perfectly good cooker at home?!?
Did alright in the tournament...got to semi finals with jacky-boy...good times. He's a chef... :) Well...he's training. Was tres fun...missed the banter and crazyness of colmers...and all the guys there...i guess its kinda awesome at colmers, since all the youth have been together at the least 2 years. But theres the core group who've been through it all together! All 7 years...man...its been a looooooong time. Ah, they rawk. Not to mention all the adults...its just like a slightly dysfunctional family...

Chatted some to the head-honcho-coach-dude yday...he was totally sympathetic to the starting-of-uni-plight and said i can start coaching whenever i want...! score! still have the course on sunday though...(realised i have to leave my house by 7.30am *cries*)...followed by a badminton match at 7.30. *scratches head* still not sure how i got roped into that one. can't wait though...t'will be fun! :) love playing matches...need to get back into shape after this long summer of none-exercise!
Got fixture lists aswell...but...the less said about them the better.

Listenin to Hillsong United - United We Stand again...*shout out to ross - cheers dude*...i like it.

Going to cinema with el bushwrapper and co tommorrow...then might drop by worship practise as its George's last one! ah...era's are ending...then family outing-minus-le-father 2moro night.

---Tribute to Summer---
So its been a long summer holiday. The longest yet...! And possibly one of the best...
It all kicked off with ending my seemingly-never-ending school-life...which, coupled with FINISHING A Levels...was possibly one of the greatest achievements of the summer...and i didnt even have to do anything! mwahaha.
Then a mad-non-stop-tour of malaysia...including much food...many madness...long chats...revelations...BANANA BOATING!...white water rafting...general water-ness...and so much natural beauty...
Then back...no time to breathe! Went to see pirates of the carribean two...(ended annoyingly)...
Essentials...went a day early...enjoyed once again the peace of the COCM building...found more stories...lived out more stories...had long chats with God...found out lots of stuff...cleaned out more of my closet (bushra!:P)...mmm...yeah...general awesomeness...
Whirlwindness of non-stopping...had elena's leaving meal at wagamam's...jumped around...

Theory test...
And now...the last three days...kinda been resting.

Yeah. it HAS been mad! Looking back over it...theres some stuff i regret. Theres some stuff i feel really blessed to have been a part of. And theres some stuff which seems irrelevant now, but i guess might not be in the future. Gods been working...and yet...at the moment i feel kinda disconnected. Which sucks a fair amount, since id kinda like to be tuned in the week uni starts...but we shall see. Theres stuff ive managed to do this summer...and stuff which id hoped i would but never really got round to. Theres been good times...and not so good times...(although...its all been pretty awesome, really, really can't complain).
Through it all...Gods totally been there...totally been taking care...educating (albeit sometimes...grudgingly on my part)...He's totally lead, totally protected...and completly just been amazing. His sovereign hands have truly been moulding, shielding and pointing this summer...looking back on it now...He is so amazing - so inspiring (i mean...Hes the only reason i can be truly inspired by the people around me...). He completly rocks my world...Ah...everything i have...everything ive had...been through...experienced...all because of His grace. *stealing words from a Hillsong song...* No wonder we call Him Saviour...

*smiles* And to all you who have contributed to my relationship with Him - YOU ROCK TOO! :D I know some of you can't know how you've contributed...and some of you will know EXACTLY what you've done (:P)...but yeah...lots of stuff which has sparked growth has come from seemingly tiny things which you guys have done/said/radiated.

mmm...ARGH! The holiday is ending! The honeymoon period is over...and back i return to the reality of university and another three years of work (but lots of fun too im sure). I have some dreams for the next three years...guess we'll see what God's dreams are soon enough! The best is yet to come...!! :D
