I'M EXCITED! woooohooooo! I don't know why really... but I am!

These are a few things that have happened this week:
  • Sunday: I went to 614 Salvos in the morning with Bec. That was a great experience :D Marnee Turner spoke. Shes a great speaker! We decided to stay for lunch. Now THAT was an experience. Bec and I went last in line, and so when we had finally got our food we found there were no more tables left. Being the smart thinkers we are we decided to set up another table. We put our food down and went and got a table. We then went to get the chairs, and turned around to realise our table was no longer ours. It was now full! So we put our chairs down and got another table. We then wen to get our food. Only to find someone had taken mine! Someone had STOLEN my food! Hahahahaha! It was hilarious. Any of you that have been to 614 will understand why, but for everyone who hasn't. 614 is a church where a lot of people off the street go. At least God used my plate of food to feed someone who was hungry and needed it more than me :)
  • Sunday night: I went to Werribee again! I been 4 weeks in a row! :D I'm excited. hehe. Gaylene spoke, shes also a great speaker!! Both her and Marnee spoke on the same topic. Difference being that Gaylene was mostly preaching to the already converted, but Marnee wasn't! I got a lot out of both their sermons. GOD IS GOOD! :D
  • Monday: wasn't too exciting. I worked 12-7 long day went slow. But that night was very interesting/exciting! I had a good conversation with my daddy. :D I then had a few thoughts! yep! They were exciting! But then it got better!, I had a good friend of mine (who ive only recently started being in contact with again) he asked me to pray for him! I was pretty excited. No one has really asked me to do that and hes not a Christian! GOD IS FANTASTIC!
  • Tuesday: I spent the afternoon with my friend Ben! Hadn't seen him in over a year! so that was exciting. We saw the Simpson's movie. Funny movie! Then, I had another person I was talking to on MSN ask me to pray for her friend! This girl is already a very dedicated Christian but it was still great! GOD IS WONDERFUL!
  • Wednesday: I still couldn't get rid of my excited mood for some reason. Not that I wanted to of course. Its Great being happy excited all the time! :D I worked again. that was quite good! Been very quiet lately :) I then caught up with my friend Sarah for dinner! Shes been in Japan so it was great seeing her again :D Later, (again being on MSN as most my nights end up), I had one of our youth at church tell me she had just admitted, to our Officer, that she did want God in her life! GOD IS AWESOME!
  • Thursday: Yesterday. I had a nice and early start. OLD TESTAMENT! WooHOoo! I'm really really enjoying it. Its such a challenge, and I Love challenges! That's not the only reason I'm enjoying it. I'm learning A lot. So far Ive left each class going whoa! I also enjoy spending the time at the college! haha Many great people there. Don't think I could live there tho.. :P Not yet anyway.. I LOVE GOD! (just had to put that somewhere)
  • TODAY I FINALLY RECEIVED MY OLD T BOOK! I WAS/AM EXTREMELY EXCITED!! woooohooooo! Tomorrow, my parents come down for a couple of nights! One of my cousins baby shower is this weekend :D

OH and just now. I had a visit from the Mormons! I actually think they came through my work yesterday shopping haha! They came today to spread the word. They wanted to come in and share there beliefs with me. Nice boys they were although I still didnt let them in. I told them I was a Salvo, and am studying Old Testament, and then just took a pamphlet to read :) Next time Ill be ready.. Maybe challange them a bit.

This visit has made me think now tho, How come we as Salvos don't go 'door knocking' to spread the word? Many people only hear or know about us being a charity, and only ever come into contact with us when we are collecting, just a thought...

Think that's enough for now. Hope you are all doing well, and God continues to keep you all safe. Many blessings :)

hey amy, i was just reasind throught ya blog. Some pretty good stuff there. I use to make a blog regularly too. It was called "Dave's Weekly Dose". You brought up a good point about the Salvos. I always get upset about that stuff as well. In the militray they ahve to Sallyman who brings out coffee and bikkies, Now half of the guys think that the Sallyman is the army and do not know who the Salvation Army are! I reckon we would be an unstoppable force if we knew our bible like the mormons and jehovahs witness. It is a shame that we are only known as a charity like the smith family or Vinnies. I have done my best to tell my workmates abotu the Salvos, but as long as we are doing things as the red shield appeal it is set in peoples mind that we are a charity. Anyways, keep up the good work! See ya Dave
