Tuesdays...

How frustrating. I deleted my post by accident. LAME.



Basically what is on my mind lately is all this free time I have.

I wish I was doing something useful and productive, like volunteering. I googled a job thing for Brisbane and looked for volunteering and didn't see anything. I look again today, see if I find anything. :) I wouldn't even mind having a job, but they have a very low percentage of unemployment here. Everyone already HAS all the employees they need.

Aw SNAP!

Actually I haven't looked that far into it yet. Apathy is a cruddy place to be. As well as finding you'd become all complacent.

I wish I could figure out where my hyperness went and where my passion for people and photography and other random things I was hugely interested in has disappeared to.

I did take some photos the other day!




I haven't got around to editing (or attempting to edit) any of them yet. I walked to the cemetary the other day. It's the place I go when I get bored and need to get away from the computer. I used to be afraid of them when I was younger. Now I see them as history. Thinking about who they were and how they lived. Their kids, stuff like that. I wonder how many people are thinking about them, how many people they helped. If they were nice or meanies.

Did they make an impact with their lives?
Will I make an impact with my life?
Who will I help? Will people remember me as a nice person or a meanie?

Despite what people may think of you now, someday you will die. Like everyone else. You don't know when. Will you try and help people have better lives by being compassionate? Or will you live for yourself?

Steven (husband) and I heard Daughtry on the radio a few days ago and looked up his songs on Youtube (I think he has a pretty darn good voice, just by the way). It really convicted me. Here's the link. Listen and watch, it's good stuff.

Oh Man! Aren't you Behind?

HELLO WORLD!

It's been ages, hasn't it?! Okay, updates. Lemme think...

So, Since my last blog entry/whatever it's called. I've met a boy online... he came to visit me and my family, we got engaged, and now I'm married and living in Australia!
WOO! I'm A WIFE! (to a very wonderful man, if I do say so myself.. :] )

God has blessed me very well! It has been a bit hard for me in being away from what is familiar... even though I've had 9 months to adjust. (Yea...)

Well... I can't even think of things to say! Being married is great! I don't have much of a life to report though other than that because I haven't really got super involved in anything outside of the house. My photography hobbies have died a bit. I think because I've allowed myself to feel bummed out, things that are important to me I just don't do/work on/put engery and effort into.
It's pretty lame. I've let myself become that way. I can't blame anyone! I could have been a lot different, been stronger, decided that "NO! I WON'T BE DEFEATED!!" By whatever, depression, lack of confidence; etc. and let God work through me.. but no. I was having a bad attitude.

I need to PRAY! and find God and listen and seek Him out. I want to be better at giving God my time and my life, like I used to be better at. Cast my cares onto Jesus, coz He loves us and He is REALLY, truly good.


*looking for a cool verse.. and and by the way! Look up word4u2day.com.au, seriously the coolest little devotional book. I got one free from church (: *

This entire chapter is good! (As well as the whole book!) I'm gonna share part that I highlighted a little while back..


Psalm 18:28-36 (NKJV)


28 For You will light my lamp;
The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

31 For who is God, except the LORD?
And who is a rock, except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And sets me on my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.
36 You enlarged my path under me,
So my feet did not slip.
