If your Happy and you know it Clap your Hands!!

GooooooooD Evening! How are you all?? I'm feeling great!! I'm Happy, yes I'm just about always Happy, but at the moment I'm very Excited Happy! GOD IS GREAT! Yes He Is!! WoooHoooo!!

God is doing great things with my Family, I believe, I cant explain it all now but hopefully soon I can share :D

This morning I went to my Uni to sign up for my Biology Lab Classes. I found out that I don't have class for another week!! I thought I had to start next Monday. But I actually don't start till the 6th of August! YAY!

My Dad came down tonight, Hes staying till Thursday! I'm excited. Hes down on business :D

I start Old Testament Thursday! I'm extremely excited! I'm not sure why, because Old Testament has always sounded really boring to me (still does a little), but I am! Hahaha! Tonight Dad brought me a few of his old College books. This made me even more excited. I now have a whole series of Old and New Testament Bible Commentaries (they look really good/useful!), an illustrated Bible Dictionary, another Bible Commentary (not as detailed as the others though), and a couple of other Bible Dictionaries. Oh and a couple of other Christian books, I think Dad no longer needs. I'm not sure where I'm going to keep them, but I will find somewhere!

I also started back at work! Went back Friday before last, I've worked everyday since except two! Its sad, but I actually do enjoy work! Its not the work I do of course, You may not believe it but checkout chick-ing is actually quite boring, Its the people there. I have so much fun socialising!!

I went to church last night in Werribee! I had a great time. I have been there quite a bit the past couple of months, so I am no longer considered 'new' by some people! I used to only get once a month at the most, which meant I would always have people coming up and introducing themselves to me (they were usually always the same few people lol). Now I am known as Amy, no longer 'Ian Peters' daughter!' Its great! I'm even in the corp directory as Amy Peters hahaha! That, to me, is really exciting!

God really is AWESOME! Most of these things may sound very trivial to be excited about. But we should ALWAYS thank God for what he is doing in our lives, no matter how small! I reckon everyone reading this should go to bed each night and thank God for something He has done during the day no matter what!! haha it almost sounds like I'm preaching! LoL I think that means its time for me to stop here!

I Pray that you all have an awesome week, and that God brings you many blessings!
Love to you All,
Amy

About Time for Another!

WELL its been quite a while since I last blogged! I haven't been overly busy just kinda lazy and so I apologise to all those dedicated readers for my laziness. :o)

Its been 5 and a Half Weeks since my op, and I'm still going GREAT!! hehe ITS AWESOME! No pain! I am much more energetic! I have my appetite back, better than ever so am 'always hungry' much to the annoyance of my friends! And My scar has healed very nicely except for the occasional ITCH that drives me crazy! haha!

Much has happened in the past month!
Brett Stobie married the Lovely Susan Downing! It was a Gorgeous Wedding! Absolutely Beautiful! May God Bless them both! =D

The AWESOME Bec Marsh turned 21! She had a Masquerade Party, Great fun was had by all!

Last week Bec and I House sat the Stobies! It was great fun! We had a great time playing Husband and Wife. Bec being the husband, going out to work most days; and me playing the wife, staying home to take care of the house and the animals. We were very disappointed to have to hand the keys back to the rightful owners. House sitting gave us a taste of what it would be like to move out (minus the cost involved of course =P). If any of you out there ever need a house sitter, Bec and I will gladly put our hands up for the job!

Last Tuesday I had a meeting with Greg Morgan, the Dean of Studies at The Salvation Army Training College, and so it is now Official that I will be commencing study next semester!! As an EXTERNAL student (just to make that clear) Ill be studying one Unit, Old Testament. I will also be going back to Uni to redo my most favourite subject of all time, Biology (yay! NOT!). It will definitely be an interesting contrast; studying Old Testament at the same time as learning about evolution hahaha!

Last night I went to werribee! It was very quiet, everyone being away on holidays. David spoke and mentioned a couple of verses which I thought were awesome!

Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

I know a few people that I think need to be reminded that God is looking out for us, no matter how bad things are. He will give us everything we need, we just have to ask and have faith that he will provide. It may not come as soon as we like or in a way that we expect, but he will provide!

That's all for now. Thanks again for all your prayers of late, God really has answered them!!

May God Bless you all Greatly!
Love Always,
Amy
