also if you wanna check out my friends blog (she is really awesome) who has some very interesting christian issues (eg, jesus loves pornstars) and other randomness. her link is

well, the show went REALLY WELL! it was SO much fun to do and everyone was really great. my parents came up and watched me on friday night and that was THE BEST!! but i have to admit saturday night was the funnest cos it was a full house and we even had to bring in more chairs to fit the crowd in and everyone was hyped up cos it was the last night so it was heaps of fun. oh and also my boyfriend came that night. my friend's boyfriend came to ALL the shows and bought her flowers on the last night which he ran onto stage and gave to her when we came out to bow, which i thought was very sweet. i dont think my boyfriend appreciated that cos he didnt do anything of the sorts... LOL, but i dont mind really. i am happy he came and saw me!
well i am going home in less then a week and i am so happy about that. yay.

there's something different about you

Thu, 1 Jun 2006 05:24:16 +0100

this week we had a VERY challenging and thought provoking new testament class. dont get me wrong, its always like that (woah almost got myself into a trap there...lucky Marianna doesnt read this...lol) anyway, i wanted to share with you some things my lecturer shared with us. and hopefully hannah will benefit from this too, since she was...er...absent from the class.

-\"Do not be afraid of those who kill you. they can only kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in Hell.\" Matthew 10:28
-Jesus didn't come to bring Peace, but a SWORD. this doesn't mean to physically fight, as in wars and violence, but to fight against EVIL. Yes Jesus did bring Peace, he is the Prince of Peace afterall, but he brought it to find peace within US, not in the world.
-don't ever say that you are not worthy. Jesus was willing to die for YOU! that makes you worthy.
-Jesus did miracles to fight against Satan. he never used his powers to show off and say \"hey check this out...look what i can do.\" but used his powers for a purpose - to show the Kingdom of God.
-a christian is a christian because they really want to be one, not because they want people to think how cool they are. and because of this, we need to SHOW that we are christians in the way we behave. we need to be different from the ungodly.
-Christians should use different words to the words the world uses (this includes swear words and catch phrases)
-dont be a mirror, but an EDGE
-God wants to partner with us. whatever we are doing, he wants to be there with us, just as he hopes we are there with him.
-the Kingdom of God has already come, but it is not fully consumated. the four aspects of the kingdom of god are; righteousness, peace, health and the Holy Spirit. we have all these today, but not to it's full extent. one day we will.
-WE HAVE TO LIVE NOW LIKE WE WILL LIVE FOREVER
-demons are present in people, especially if we open ourselves up to them. the devil wants to destroy anyone who is devoted to God. we need to FIGHT.
-NOTHING has greater value to you then the Kingdom of God.
-dont look back on the past with longing. dont long for the things you have left behind.
-we are all drug addicts in a way - addicted to doing our own will. we must fight past that and do God's will. Jesus fought past it. he struggled with what he wanted to do in the garden of Gethsemane, but refused to do his own will and freely chose to do God's (which was to die).
-the sure signs of the presence of God in someone's life is JOY. even if they weep, they can have joy in their hearts because they know God.
-God wants to rejoice with us as well as IN us.
-Peter, the rock which supposedly stands strong through everything, fell heavily when he denied Christ. but he learned a great lesson from his failure and redeemed himself.
-we need to be able to laugh at ourselves occasionally. laughter is meant to be healing.
-by using swear words, toilet jokes and sexual jokes, we are poisoning the water of laughter. we must be careful with what we watch, listen to, and laugh at.

Like i said, it was a very valuable lesson and i hope everyone got something out of it like i did. i agree that we as Christians need to watch how they behave to not become like the world. we must live in the world but not become like the world. we must set ourselves apart from it, so we show God's love and grace and people will say, \"Hey there's something different about you, and i want to know what that is.\"

Under Milk Wood and other stuff

Sat, 27 May 2006 13:06:18 +0100

well, its almost at that time again. we have our next performance coming up and its called Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas. if anyone is in Sydney, please come!!!! its on the 15th, 16th and 17th of June at Wesley Institute. if you want further details please dont hesitate to ask.
the play centres around a small fishing village in wales. its great cos we get to learn the welsh accent. i have had good comments about the accent form my voice teacher saying i am doing good, which is very encouraging. especially when i didnt get good comments about my aussie accent in my last play from the director. (what the??)
but hey rehearsals are going well, we still have alot of work to do, but its coming along well and i am really enjoying it. we have had this cool guy come in to teach us this movement technique invented by Chekov....really interesting and amazing stuff.
my parents are flying up to see me in the play which is so exciting. it will be the first time they've seen me perform since coming to this uni, so that puts alot of pressure on me....no joking. i know they are proud of me and that makes me all the more motivated to do a good job.
well, in other news, its my one year anniversary in 2 days, on the 29th of may. i am SO MAJORLY excited. we're not doing anything too special cos we dont have much money, but i am gonna cook him dinner, so hopefully that will work ot well. :) lol
in more news, i get to go home to melbourne for 4 weeks after exams, which is after the performance and i am really looking forward to it. while last year i got to go home for a weekend in between holidays, i havent been able to this year. its the longest time i have been away form my parents and it feels really odd. but i get to speak to them over the phone so that is good.
well, i hope everyone is well and may god bless you all and keep you safe xox

YAY was right!

Tue, 9 May 2006 08:21:59 +0100

yes, i was the Old Geezer, as yay put it. i was the character of Reverend Mills. he was a grumpy old man who didnt like Jesus and plotted to kill him. i got to wear that amazing hair (that was supposed to be a comb over but didnt wuite get there) and the beard and moustache was so much fun. although the stuff u stuck it on with burned like crazy ALL day. and it was hard to open your mouth fully cos the glue was sticking it in place, so when i had lunch i couldnt eat properly....quite funny. also i got food stuck in my beard, so i know how it feels for all you bearded blokes out there. it was the best time and i will forever look back on it with fond memories. thanx guys for putting up with my cheekiness and making u guess who i was!!! he he he

he he he

Wed, 3 May 2006 07:57:56 +0100
