Somedays...I feel like I'm....

...In A Movie...


Well, I had some thoughts a while ago about how I found myself relating to certain female movie characters. I thought I'd put it up here and see what thoughts I get back. Let me know who you relate to, I'm interested to know...

Some days I feel like...

Princess Leia...A little bit of royalty but not really, a little bit fiesty, like I could take on the Empire and win all by myself, like I could hang out with the boys and fight side by side with them. Like I could love a scoundrel, a pilot and a good man too.

Some days I feel like...

Sabrina (not the teenage witch!)...where I need to go off to some far off romantic city that would be good for my heart and find myself.

Some days I feel like...

Jean Gray...or rather Phoenix...where I am all angry and confused, myself but not me, when my anger could make me self destruct and destroy anything in close proximity as well.

Some days I feel like...

Princess Fiona...Not quite beautiful in the classic sense, kind of different in a quirky way and certainly misunderstood by my parents, who love me but don't quite get me because of my oddity...which ultimately they share.

Some days I feel like...

Jane Smith...I have the normal life but its actually hiding something else. There was a husband who as it turns out, was on the same side, for each other and not against each other after all. All that trying to kill each other was not actually the thing we really wanted to do! And when we finally got it together, we were a formidable team that could take on any opposition.

Some days I feel like...

Gwen DeMarco...It's only one job I have...its stupid but I'm going to DO IT!

I'm sure that there will be more...

But for now, who do you feel like some days??

It's All About Jesus...

Well...here I am...12 months since I started a blog.

I thought I'd celebrate by telling you all why I am the way I am. And this will be where I might lose readers or keep them. So be it! This post has been a long time coming...in fact its been 12 months and 37 years in the making!

Because its ALL about Jesus. It is Jesus who has redeemed me, Jesus who has paid the very dear price for me, Jesus who now lifts me up, promises me only good things and who now encourages me to tell you all about Him. It is also Jesus who Mark is now with.

Look. It's not been an easy road. Far from it. NO ONE would EVER wish this situation on themselves. I never dreamed of being a widow at the rather youngish age of 36. I TOTALLY believed that Mark and I were going to be married for a long, long time.

Dreams...oh, I could tell you the dreams we had together...shattered in one heartbreaking moment. I can tell you too, that I've more than shook my fist at God over the past eighteen months...my biggest question..."WHY THIS WAY?"

THIS IS WHY...

It is so I can tell you all why I am this way. And guess what!?

ITS COME BACK TO JESUS!

You know...I could spout Bible verse after Bible verse here now...but I'm not going to do that. If what I've said here has affected you...well you'll either go and pick up a bible for yourself to see what the heck it is that Jesus is all about. Or you will leave me a message here to ask me personally how you can find Jesus...

Because, seriously, if you don't know Jesus, you will struggle in life, you will find hardships unbearable, you will worship and idolise the wrong things. There IS more to life...and that MORE is JESUS! And if you don't know Jesus, you will be on the path to hell...and whats more...WE won't see each other again. I would dearly love to see ALL of my friends and family again. PLEASE, FIND Jesus! This blog might be the start for you...MY prayer is that it is.

I live, love and glorify Jesus. Nothing else matters...

Here I am again! This is becoming a habit...

Have just got back from a Christian conference of 3 thousand people in Katoomba called "Engage". It was aimed at working people, so it had relevance to being a Christian in the workplace. Got to hear some great teaching from some awesome speakers, sing along with a great band and had lots of fun with some friends on a road trip. What a whirlwind though! One of the speakers, who I'd been told about a few weeks ago and had started to listen to on the internet, I actually got to meet! I was really stoked about that, I can tell you!

So, a great few days of teaching that has given me a few challenges to move along with...

Crash, the joey is going along great! She gets bigger each day and seems to eat more too. I love the way she hops after me now and I think soon she will want to be out of the pouch more. Will have to start thinking about building the enclosure for her!

We finally got some rain here again! I think its been nearly 3 months since we've had anything decent. Probably longer, actually. So, I came home to see that we had about 50 mls in the gauge. Already there is a lot of green popping up out of the ground. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly this country can recover with a bit of decent rain! Now, if we can just get some follow up!

I went out for a ride last Monday...hadn't been over the levy bank for nearly six weeks! So, it was nice to get out for a few hours. Went up the road that I am still waiting for them to finish a couple of kilometres of bitumen on so I can go up the windy bits up the big hill! I took some photo's of the hills...







This one is a recent sunset...we sure get some gorgeous ones here!
