You

                                                              the same power that conquered the grave lives in me.

                                          one thing that i conquered today.. 

                                          a bowl full of jelly..

                                          for breakfast

thoroughly enjoy my friends at the moment

          God has blessed me with a bunch of crazy people

                                it's been too sunny to wear shoes lately 

                                i like rolling up my jeans and walking around in bare feet as weird as it is

                                i semi do it because my shoes suck

                                they have super big holes in them

                                i was supposed to get some yesterday but waitangi park conjoined with people, sun and food

                                just seemed so much better, but now i am still stuck with stupid shoes..

                                i will potentially make a trip into wellington tomorrow

                                i bet it'll rain tomorrow somehow.. 

                                it always seems to happen just when we think summers here..

                                it lies, we are fooled.

                                                currently  my favourite drink                                                

if jesus were a drink he would be green apple

                             
                                i enjoy birds that sing in the morning 

                                i talked to four people who woke up on sunday from the loudness of the birds

                                i've always wondered what they say..

                                if they even talk to each other or if they just make crazy noises

                                because they couldn't be smart enough to learn how to communicate with eachother by talking..

                                could they ?

                                i get too curious and end up looking into these things

                                i know alot of random facts, it's a good thing though..

                                they communicate by using different notes or actions kinda like singing

                                but they don't talk like we do.. i guess if they were that smart they would own a quater of the world..

                                haha i don't know why a quater of the world, but there would be alot of smart birds 

                                and i wouldn't want to mess with alot of smart birds that own a quater of the world..

                                most birds can only sing one song some copy other birds songs so they have more than just one but

                                only smart birds like starlings.

                                the male bird dances to attract the female.. haha dancing birds.. good. smart.

                      

i laughed at this picture for too long

                                                                          

i like owls.

fearless faith.

 one day i will be endorsed by Truth drums.

i choose to dream big because my God is bigger.

                                                         

                                                          Ephesians 3:20 

my faith has to be like a potato

coolio

  tonight i went outside and watched the stars for a bit and

a cat came along and decided to fall asleep in my arms

seriously was the coolest thing..

 i was talking to the cat..

i would love to know what cats think of us..

 they'd probably laugh and be all mature

and thinking why do we bother talking to animals..

i think its quite weird.

they're pretty similar to us though..

they can feel us, hear us and see us..

i think milo and otis are as close as animals will get to talking.

imagine if all cats and dogs were like them.. haha wow

easily in my top 3 most enjoyable kids movies.

excited for another sunny day tomorrow

 getting more and more pumped for the summer 

yeeeah boi!

chase it

                                                                       

                                                 my brain is going crazy

                                                 i think i'm thinking too much

                                                 life needs to pause for a bit

                                                 potentially going to Poland next year for Arise Tours.. crazy.

                                                 i haven't really traveled much in my life so poland could be fun

                                                 drumming for jesus.

                                                 i constantly move things around so they're in order or symmetrical

                                                 i don't like things out of place or not in line i'm getting better though

                                                 i feel bad for my mum had a big talk with her today..

                                                 she's scared about having to sell the house and live on her own

                                                 she doesn't get paid enough either.. believing for something amazing to happen.

                                                 i still have to catch up on my sleep

                                                 i enjoy staying up late.. i think alot at night

                                               

                                                 imagine living life upside down for a bit..

                                                 woah.

                                                     

                                                        

                                                         

                                                          

                                             i watched eclipse tonight.. i don't know if i like jacob more than edward..

                                             blogging makes me sound like a girl.

                                             to make up for my manliness my moustache is surprisingly growing (ish)

                                             and i would enjoy punching something like ply wood right now..

                                             haha.. to see how many ply's i could punch through..

                                             i sound crazy.

                                                           

                                             i am super ready for God to take me into something new and bigger.

                                  

                               

if You can use anything

won't You use me

take me and break me and

mould me and make me

You died for me

so I'm living for You.

better is the light that never goes out

i've been thinking alot about water and how rediculous it is..

                                                                     

                                                     
                                                  seriously though

it's transparent and it weighs heaps

1 litre of water weighs a kilogram

i find it crazy that it has no air either.. so it can kill you..

but thousands of things live under water but not us..

and that there is more water than there is land.

i find it weird that you can't grab it either..

and that it has thousands of different uses and formations..
it can put out fire which is quite cool..

its kinda scary that we couldn't live without water..

i have not been looking at water facts..

our brains are 75% water

and a chicken is 75% water! 
95% of a tomato is water.

70% of an elephant is water.. its amazing!

i enjoy water 

its fun and confusing

but comforting..

like a big blanket..

but cold and wet..
it's not really like a big blanket at all..

There's only one

                                

                                 seriously Harry Potter changed my life.


              i watched it with my brother i kept turning around to tell him how amazing it was


                                                                  it was amazing!

i think i almost cried when dobby died..

it was almost as emotional as when dumbledore died..

  but a different emotion..

because dumbledore shouldn't be allowed to die!

  i also enjoy luna lovegood alot random people are the best.

worship practice was also amazing.

Shehan decided to turn the night into a sweet prayer meeting,

he came up to me and told me i had a word for someone

and to get on stage and start prophesying over them..

i was freaking out a bit because God wasn't speaking to me..

and i didn't want to say anything that was unlegitimate.

ha ha but i grabbed the mic and suddenly God gives me a vision of andy gale..

and i start speaking out what i'm seeing and i look up and he's crying on the wall.. 

so i start prophesying over him.

Shehan comes up to me and lets me know that they had been talking about 

what God had showed me all day 

its quite cool how God uses people..

               
                i have to learn to trust God that little bit more.






                We had another board game night at Keith's of Settlers of Catan 


                i won both games!


                and listening to the new Hillsong Winter album


                                             

                                              
                                                        we're found in the fullness of His love
                                                        so open up your eyes and see His love.
                            
                                                                   
                                                        

ten little enjoyable things

life

and

jesus.

decisions, decisions.. decisions!!

i have always thought of myself as a decisive person 

not a fan of indecisiveness 

but lately i've had alot of decisions to make..

i suck with decisions 

especially if they're big decisions 
i find little decisions easy

i've learnt to act rather than to think..

to be completely for something or completely against something

i don't like being in between..

but i enjoy not knowing too much of what could happen 

i like surprises 

learning to be more optimistic

but potentially more realistic than optimistic..

Amazing, because it is

it's amazing how much God can change you in just a weekend.
when you think God can't blow your mind the day after he already has..
he can. he did.  
God has given me this,
i believe that with this i can change the world.


so currently i have had 45 minutes of sleep.
but semi worth it.. because i saw Ember Days! 
along with Saving Grace and Declaration AD,
but Ember Days almost made me cry.. it was that beautiful.
got home at 2.45am
woke up at 3.45am
i thought it was 4.45am
so i ring Dan asking him why he hasn't come yet..
panicking that i had missed my ride to setup..
but nooo he was sleeping. and i had woken up an hour early.. is that possible..
today was the longest day of my life.


also another highlight was watching the Hillsong I-Heart Revolution 
'Were All In This Together' 
movie slash dvd at Sunny Lee's on her huuuge 3D t.v, but not in 3D..
it seriously changed the way i view the church


watching them make a very little but very big difference.
they travel across 6 continents 42 nations and 93 cities, what the heck. 
watching these poor homeless and familyless people live the only way they know how
in cardboard boxes, prostitution, with no future.. i was legitimately tearing up


i'm willing to make a difference.

let the wild rumpus start!

so its starting to feel like summer a bit!
i was working today its so sweet, i was planting..
i keep having breaks to play with zinny our dog i miss him
he had to move when our dad moved because my mum hates dogs
it was soo hot i kept finding nice spots in big patches of grass to lie in.


i got my iMac yesterday! its extremely awesome now all i need is a midi keyboard!!

i love watching 'where the wild things are' i enjoy max, i would fully make a little boat and sail to an island full of huge fun monsters.. in a crazy comfy costume

"Hi, I'm Ira. I put the holes in the trees."


sometimes i actually wish i could sail away to a little island and not have to think about all the crazy things that are currently going on in my life.. but i wont because i don't have a little boat.

i am currently saving up for a new drum setup so i can take lessons and earn some money
slash it'll cost me atleast $2,500 haha.. not even joking.
i'm really just after new cymbals they'll probably cost $1500.


it would be cool to practice aswell, id get pretty good pretty quick.


currently i practice in my mind..  it sounds weird but its good,
i guess i play 4 services a week normally which helps too..

life is choice
jesus is choice

kiora.

shooting stars

so i just got back from a very quality night at bernis with some very quality people.
very nice night to play with fireworks, i could stare at them forever, very pretty.
we decided to shoot hector, one landed on his head and burnt his hair..
haha goood idea..
i enjoy the ones that fall for ages.
i like bright things they make my eyes go funny..
