spiritual high

hello there anyone and everyone,

I just got back from a PYV Junior Camp based on the book of Ephesians and being 'Totally Transformed'. The subjects were:

1.Totally Transformed Me
2.Totally Transformed Speech
3.Totally Transformed Life
4.Totally Transformed Submission

The camp was absolutely oarsum and I made heaps of new friends and I learnt a lot about also.

So if you see me soon and I can't stop smiling and being nice (hopefully, haha) you now know why.

http://www.pyv.org.au

check it out guys, all info about future camps is on there if you wanna come, it's awesome fun!

In other news though, my holidays are still being extremely boring, except for camp, and I am hoping to go to Melbourne to hang with my sis Esther and also hang with Jane n' Morley.

Cya later anyone and everyone,

D.

ps. the drawing is coming along...

my attempt...

So, I looked around and saw people drawing and producing oarsum works of art, and I thought, 'I wanna do that. I don't wanna be some guy who just goes through life sitting in the background, stuck in a routine, never doing anything outstanding.' OK, I admit, that was a bit exaggerated when you relate it to the picture, however that is how I feel. And, after some advice from the one and only Jane, I found this pic and decided that this would be a good spot to start. Because after all you have to start somewhere.




So I tried my hardest, and came up with this...


I dunno but I think it's not toooo bad.

And here is my next one I'm gonna try and draw:



Gosh, I'm soooo boring. I promise the next one after this will not be an alley of any kind.

Thanks Jane, Andrew and Beth for being such oarsum Christian friends. It's not every day you find people as Godly, kind and loving people such as you. Your oarsumnuss (say with Pommy accent, sounds good) really does help, and it's great to know I can talk to you about pretty much anything.

I feel happy now.

Ciao.

Holidays?

Q. Who can jump higher than a 20 story building? - Find out when you've finished.

I dunno about you, but my interpretation of holidays is when you can relax, your parents can relax (kind of), and you just get time to slow down, take it easy and do what you want. You can stay up late and watch cool movies, hang out with your friends, draw a picture or write blogs. But it seems my fathers interpretation of this is completely different...

During the holidays, my 'bedtime' doesn't change at all, dad always starts pestering me at about 9.20ish, not even 15 minutes later, (of course I don't necessarily go to sleep at that time, most of the time I just stay awake for ages, reading a book or trying to draw, but that's beside the point). This holidays I was looking forward to just relaxing, and doing all the things I mentioned earlier, but noooooooo, my parents (dad especially) are too paranoid to let me do anything outside their little box. Which, quite frankly, sucks!

I feel like I'm just serving no point for 2 weeks. I mean, it's great that my parents are being 'protective' (if that's the right word to use), but most of the time they just need to let go a bit. I wanna get out a bit, and live my life. Live life like a deck of cards, the hand you get dealt represents determinism, what you do with it though is free will.

I dunno, I think I'll see if I can sort something out. This is an incredibly long post. And it sounds so depressing. The next time I'm in happy mood I'll write something then, rather than complain to no-one.

A. Anybody, buildings can't jump! HAHAHA. Enjoy.

Ciao.

Choices

Cool, a blog. Known as 'my room'. And now for something emotional and meaningful:

Today as the sun was shining on my face, I drove past Central Square car park, and I noticed the sign that they always put out the front of that financial place on the corner. It read,
"It is our choices that show and make who we are, rather than our abilities." Or at least it was something along those lines.
Whilst listening to some Relient K and Moby on the way home, I tried to analyze what they were trying to say, and I've come to the conclusion that they're kind of right.

Life is full of choices, and sure we may stuff up sometimes, (okay, a lot of the time), but ultimately we must realise that we do make who we are, and with some common sense and guidance through prayer and help from God, we can be the very best possible, and you can be what you want to be. If you wanna be something, or someone, go for it, and don't let the worldly views and expectations hold you back.

But that's enough from me, you're probably bored stiff by now, but I hope it's alright for my first writing.

Ciao.
