6. The storming stages draws the group closer together
7. No one is left behind
8. The group does a variety of things to help the community
9. The group continually grows cause other people are welcome to be part of it
10. The group helps to round each members rough edges and find their hidden depths

Be Her Freedom

There was a girl who wanted a better life
Yet evil came along and caused such strife
She was brutalised and in such a plight
And lives ina world as dark as night
Where evil people find such delight
Can anybody hear her screams tonight.

One day in a Greek train station
A beautiful woman became aware of this situation
Walls plastered displaying devastion
Causing parents and friends such frustration
This godly woman did some investigation
To obtain the way to provide a deviation

Awareness will stop this unholy reign
To cease this emergence of pain
Walking paths of justice we will remain
Young women are being set free through Jesus name
Given a freedom from their shame

Is there life without electricity?

Recently the town where I live was hit by 120km gale force winds and heavy rain fall.
Which has resulted in the power being off for 9pm Saturday night and it is now Tuesday afternoon. An event like this causes you to realise what you do have.

1. a gas stove so we can still cook food or boil water to wash dishes
2. friends that are concerned for your well being
3. a workplace that still has power
4. a mobile phone to keep in contact with people.....

So the answer is yes you can live without electriciy and hopefully it will be put back on really soon :)

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree!

Tonight I'm going to put up my family's christmas tree. We've had it for years (its plastic) and just unfold it to put it up. We have a box of decorations which decorate the rooms nearby and the tree. Usually I'm the one asking when we can put it up but this year my mum was the one asking when I would be putting it up. Mum wants to take a photo of it for a mini book for the 25 days of December. I'm creating one as well. It makes you look at the days differently as you are thinking of what you can journal or take a photo of for that day! I think it adds to the Christmas Season expectation and makes it that much more enjoyable.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

The count down is on just 36 days til Christmas!
Been feeling a little melancholy and thought maybe I'll watch some christmas movies tonight. Or maybe I should just watch a comedy. Never watched Glee and its on tonight so I might check it out. Saw a video click of one of their songs at the gym its was quite good! My brother just ordered a cd for himself and offered for it to be his christmas present which just reduced some of my christmas shopping. My mum has been dropping hints and my dad will often be watching a music program and just say casually that he'd like to own that artists DVD. So Christmas Shopping will be a breeze this year since everyone knows what they want. That just leaves me needing to decide what I want! :)
