Clap on. Clap off... Clap on!
Sorry that was just random!
I really havn't been posting all that much lately. I think It's because I'm slightly behind with my posting that I am becoming incredibly behind with my posting. Let me explain. I'm a bit behind, so I dont post an event. Then another event happens and I dont know which one to post first. I'm lost...!
I have decided to make this a catch up post. So from here on in, I should start posting normally again... hopefully!
Camp Rev
Last weekend my church's youth Group "Revolution" had it's weekend away. It was really great. It's really the first official Revolution camp we have ever had. My church has been gradually building up no's over the last 6 or so years (correct me if I'm wrong), so It was really good to see that due to our increased no's we could finally have a youth camp!
Tim Ascott (again, spelling, correct me if I'm wrong) spoke on the topic "Why should I?": Why should I: Trust Jesus, Pray, Read the Bible, and Go to Church?! The 'kids' gave really great rections to the talks. They were asking questions and discussing the topic. For the first time in some of the 'kids' lives, they had the chance to have a proper quiet time, and they were really enthusiastic about the concept.
The 'kids' asked really great questions about churches and music nad other stuff.
We had some activities, which were indoor rock climbing and sailing, which was really fun. In the evening of the Saturday we played a game called "Children of the Revolution". The game envolved our student minister ringing a bell and yelling for everyone to get to the meeting hall, "This is not a drill!" It was army style games...so fun!
When we got into the hall Tim was playing army style drumming. David, our student minister was the captain. He had a Russian... no, Jamaican... no, german... His accent kept changing. One thing he kept making us yell was "For the Homeland!!"
The kids were in four teams and had to save Borris, or whatever we had named the cushion with legs. They had to do training in a specific area, like Engineering, Leading, camouflage, Medic's...etc. Basically the whole thing ended with me + three other leaders minding glowsticks and black cloth on Trig Hill with torches... hehe, Spotto!
Aaaany way! The weekend was a great success! Praise God for that!!!!
Other Stuff
Random Info...lets see. Hehe, I know where to start.
In My yr 9&10 Bible study group we've been going through 'sermon on the mount'. One of the girls, Rachel has been dying to read the "adultery" section of the sermon since we started. Today was the day we were actually doing the Adultery part, and Rachel was sick, so she wasn't there. We got to the Adultery part, and a suggestion was put forward that we call Rachel and she could read it out over the phone...
My mother walked into the room on her way out to Bible study just as rachel's voice is heard reading "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away."
SNNNNN!!!...hehe
What else. Lets see. I have three assessments due next week...FUN! *rolls eyes* Two of them are major assesments. NOT FUN! The other one just takes up an unesissary amount of time.
This Weekend
Tgis comming weekend is Open Day at Uni. I'm going to show my Best Friend Sarah around. She's interested in looking at the Phsyc and Ed stuff. Should be fun. I'd really like Sarah to come to Mac Uni next year, but I know pressure won't help the situation. She has to decide for herself. I'll respect her decision to go somewhere else though. (But it would be nice to go somewhere with Sarah [apart from church] once in my life!!)
The same day...this is Saturday by the way... A CU Social is happening at Lissa's house. I really want to go coz' I didn't get to go to the Inferno social last Thursday. The only problem is, I'll be showing Sarah around uni. I told Sarah I would, and I love spening time with her, so I'd be ok to miss the social. I really would have loved to take her to the social with me. The last lecture she wants to go to will finish at around 3:00pm though, and that'd make it difficult to get her and me to the soc.
I guess I'll just see what happens on the day. So far It looks like I'm leaving Sarah half way through the day to go to the social alone...
I have nothing else to say for now...so leave me alone! Just kidding...no don't go. I didn't mean it... really! Please come back!... Please!
*whispers* Come Back!
Now no ones here I can sing! *sings* All by Myself. Don't wanna be, All by myself anymore!
Oh you're still here! I'll CU Soon then!

Wow, I feel SOOOO loved!!!! I was mentioned 6 times in that post. And just so you know, it’s Escott not Ascott...but that's an irrelevant detail. Camp was great!!!!! YAY!!!!!
YAY!!!
I can't spell words or people's names... what a load off! NOT!
Woohoo, she posts! Good stuff. (ie. the content, but also the fact that you posted)
Keep battling it out with those assns!
By the way its about time you changed profile pic and broke out the pink fluffy blanket quote!! MYC was over a month ago! (oh my goodness! seems like such a short time and yet so long ago too)
battling hey?... that gives me an idea. prehaps violence will solve all of my problems...
speaking of which... your picture is from MYC last year
Yeah but I didn't have a 'photoshoot' on MYC this year with promises that as soon as we got back from MYC the profile pic and tag line would be changed!
For the record, I have no intention of changing my pic.
And so you shouldn't. I realy like your pic. I would use it myself 9seeing as those are my hands) but it's being used... by you! hahahaha
lol Yeah, that might confuse people a bit!
lol. :-)
You'll get through it all, my lovely - God is on your side! YAY! What an awesome God we have!
