Hey so for the rest of my trip in the blue mountains :) on Sunday we left Mums friends house (Fiona's) around 11 o clock and we headed a bit further up the mountain and arrived at pops for lunch and my aunt was there as well it was good to see them again. We had chicken/Turkey for lunch/Dinner and Chocolate fondue for desert yum yum. :) it was delicious mum and i took some pictures which will be up on facebook shortly after lunch mum Dave and Marion my aunt had tea we then came back down the mountain. My friend Lewis called and asked me to come over for a while when i got back i helped unpack some things and took out the garbage for them haha. I also played a bit of GTA 4 on there 360.
That was the end of my long weekend well it felt long which was good.

1. I have a job interview at Earlwood childcare centre on Wednesday which i hope goes well.
2. I have a dentist appointment on Thursday as i may have a hole in one of my teeth.
sigh it amazing how many things happen to me i wonder if god hates me. :( Erin if you read this please answer that question for me thanks. :)
Hey, Oliver :) I am reading, and I have some verses for you that might help. I can tell you right now that God definitely does not hate you! It might be easy to think that sometimes, but here's a verse from Romans that I look to when I am suffering:
ReplyDelete"We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that in suffering produces perseverance; perseverance produces character, and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." - Romans 5: 3-5.
Hope that helps. Here's a few more you might find encouraging:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb and naked I shall depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, may the name of the Lord be praised." - Job 1:21. This is what Job says after he loses all his family, health, and possessions. He praises God even though he is suffering.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." - James 1:2-3
"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and now grow weary, the will walk and not be faint" - Isaiah 40:30-31.
God is for you if you are for him :D
:) See you tomorrow! Maybe we can talk about this at bible study if you still want. - Erin
