[Pastor Sam Evans at DNA]

God vs. scientists

Scientists: We can do anything God can with science.

God made Adam from the dirt of the land.

The scientists thought about it for a bit then went to grab some dirt.

God: Oi...get your own dirt.

i'm on HOLIDAYYYYY!!! (for 2 weeks)

busy busy busy. TM's friend Evelyn was here, and my guild master (WoW) from Singapore is here as well. Thursday we went for tea (tea = dinner in Aus) at Grill'd....best burgers and best chips EVER.

and on we went to Crown after tea, to Greco's for cake. We had the pavlova....sweetness goodness. and took lots of crazy pictures. i don't remember laughing that much in one night for a long long time.

and then.........we came back to my place and....photobooth-ed to our hearts content.

LOL. whoever knew TM had such impressive biceps.

okay. time to go back to my tv show. xox

teehee.

the past week has been beyond eventful. i still can't believe that i actually let go of half my Swotvac period to be involved in the Planetshakers Beautiful Woman Conference 08. so not me. and yet, i don't regret it at all! it's amazing. if i look at myself a year back, i would've said "no, i'm not doing it" without a second thought, and even if i had decided to do it, i would've been stressing out during the conference and feeling guilty thinking that i should be studying right then. just goes to show how much can change in a year!

BW was truly a life-changing event. so many things were said during that conference that were just...RELEVANT to where i am right now! and i couldn't be more thankful to Esther (my esteemed Urban Life leader! =P) for talking to me and reasoning to me that i should trust God with my exams and let go of it and just GO for BW! lovedlovedloved it beyond words!! especially Ps. Debbie's afternoon session...i'm God's little princess!! how awesome is that. gosh. that message turned my life around.

AAAAANNNNNNNNND...i did the most spontaneous thing ever. the choir (of which I was a part) had to be there by 3pm and so there i was, hanging around and waiting for us to get called up to the stage for the soundcheck. the day before i'd been talking about wanting a haircut and Cathy offered to give me one. so right there and then, in the basement girls' bathroom in Dallas Brooks Convention Center, i got my hair cut on the spot! and i LOVE IT. though i think i look like a japanese anime doll or something right now. but no matter, it's so cute!!!! hahaha i heartxx fringes right now!

today: first day of exams. still so tired after that crazy weekend but surprisingly this morning I wasn't feeling stressed like I usually do before exams. so all's good. went there, took the exam, came home, worried about it a little before i shook myself out of it, scolding myself. lol released it to God and that's the end of that.

oh so happyyyyy. okay i'm sleepy. toodles!!

after a long time being MIA.......i decided i had to post SOMETHING.

i'm having a blast being back in Melbourne. Of course, the whole uni thing is a bummer...because getting into gear with the whole "having to study" thing is HARD. but i'm doing it. managing pretty well too i'd say. spent 5 hours on satday with my marketing assignment group just finishing up our essay. pretty happy with it. JESUS I THANK YOU FOR THE H1 WE'RE GONNA GET ON IT!

Christine Caine last Sunday at church.....is she a firecracker or WHAT! funny, powerful, dynamic....awesome woman of God. first Sunday back on choir again...missed doing it heaps. she spoke about "trust the Lord your God with your WHOLE heart, soul, and mind" and how fragmented hearts, souls and minds will affect our lives and relationship with God. good stuff good stuff. we all realized she's like the first FEMALE guest speaker we've ever had in Planetshakers! haha good one!

TM went to Sydney and she got me this:

how cute is it? hahaha it's gone now though. good chocolate =) had to take a photo for remembrance

BIRTHDAYS!!!! this month alone there have been.......5 birthdays ><>

i just got back from Ange and Felipe's 21st birthday bash! Heaps of fun. Lots of dancing as expected (i know what to expect at their parties now after Lorena's birthday!! love it!)...but there was a pro dance group who performed (they're the champs of some dance competition here) and Felipe played bass with a band up on stage. 3 other people in the band i knew from church...the others...may be from church but i don't know them. hahaha..the lead vocalist had the amazing-est voice! i think they were like up to song no 5 for the night before I found out that he's Christian Sebastian, Guy Sebastian's brother. so no wonder about the voice. runs in the family.

met some new people. didn't get to eat much, except for this thing i tried....which i have no idea what it's called...need to find out...but it was good nonetheless...and birthday cake!! duh. and DANCED A LOT. i'm in love with their dance culture. hahaha

anyways. brought my camera along with me....but didn't get to take too many photos because too busy dancing to chase people up!

Jess.

Birthday boy - Ange

Other birthday boy - Felipe

since i've been back there've been 2 birthdays: lorena's and mandy's. and they're both awesome girls.

had the best time at lorena's. there was a cuban band playing, and cocktail food made by her relos. some of the food had weird combos but somehow they worked. YUM! and as always when there's lorena, there's dancing. once the band started the music, people started drifting towards the dance floor.

met a lot of people there, mostly people from church. some were new friends, others i'd met before but never really managed to talk to and get to know them. sometimes i feel like i'm playing "spot me in the crowd" when i'm at church. you just don't end up seeing ANYONE you know if you don't look out for them.

mandy's birthday was the next day (march 2nd). went for thai after church. there wasn't a planned birthday party but had a great time just eating and hanging out. she gave a speech after dinner, as in true birthday celebration fashion.

photos!
