my best friend got married not the saturday just gone, but the one before that. She's married!!! That's a little weird, and exciting and scary and really really great! Keep her and her new husband (that is so weird!) in your prayers. She's muslim. He's whatever. I would love them to be both christians. Pray that i am a shining example of Jesus' love and grace and mercy and that if the occassion should ever arise, that God will give me the courage to say the words i pray he gives me.

And if i dont get back on before the day,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

and remeber that

Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

 

So on saturday i went shopping (lets just remember that generally as a rule i hate shopping) and i bought a dress (also remember that i'm a jean and shirt type of gal). THe dress is crazy, and there's a lot happening on it but its fun and long enough that i wont really need to shave my legs (which let's face it- is AWESOME!!!). I even bought lipstick, earrings and shoes! its like i'm a girl or something :D. Susie's engagement is this Saturday. I'm really excited! my best friend is engaged and they've set a date for December 1st. Susie asked me to be one of the witnesses. I've never been a witness at a wedding before. I never thought i'd be going to my friends' weddings when i was 19, but here they are gettig married at the end of the year! Really exciting. Keep them in your prayers. not only for the planning, and transition to married life, but Susie is Muslim and Bobby thinks being a churchie is a waste of time. I love them both (and Susie's family. I dont really know Bob's) and i really dont want them ending up in hell. Prayer is a powerful weapon, so please use it!!! i really want to sit here and ramble on a bit longer but i should go to bed so i'm functioning in the morning. I'm not tired but i should be.

In a while crocodile...Tara

well today the Indescribable DVDs came into work so now i have my copy- Very exciting!!!

its only 2 more sleeps til my bday.

it is really very very very Hot in the city at the moment (and when i saw at this moment i dont mean at this moment cos i'm at home and its nearly 11pm. i just mean in the last few days). i have some short sleeved tops for work tomorrow (YAY!)

Australia is gonna win the game on Saturday (i hope all you Wilkinson fans know that!!! lol)

and my best friend is havig her engagement party in a couple of weeks and i'm MCing. i'm terribly nervous. Never been a MC before but i spose theres a first time for everything.

I need to get going. i need a shower and sleep.

Cya later- Tara

Hey everyone!!! I wanted to let you all know that i am alive and well and i was NOT ignoring you all! Tonight is the first time i've checked my email/had a turn on the puter in about a month. My lil sis has had assignments and i've been doing a lot of house sitting for various people. I'm not sure how long it will be until i get back online. World Cup starts on friday. All i have to say is GO THE WALLABIES!!! i'm really tired. its late, i'm sleeping on our futon this week and i have to get up in 6 hours for work (and i'm a 8 hour a night kinda gal). One last thought for all you dads out there- HAPPY FATHERS DAY! well it father's day here in Australia so the sentiment is being extended to all of you. god bless, stay strong in the Lord and have a glorious day!

So its been a while. I think i see a pattern here.So a couple of things have happened since March. First of all i have a job!!! YAY!!! I've been there since May 24. I'm working at a christian bookshop in the city. I'm loving it! THe people i work with are really nice, i get to borrow books from work if i want (while i'm here i'm gonna recommend REdeeming Love by Francine Rivers. i just finished it about an hour ago and it is so FANTASTIC!!! read it!) The only thing i'm not crazy about is the travel. most days i leave at 7.30am and i get home just after 7.30pm. Its a long day. especially today. I've woken up the last 3 days thinking it was Friday and today it actually was but the day dragged :)

I'm still at home but we all knew that would happen cause i'm all  talk, no action. I house sat for 2 different families a coupkle of weeks ago. i've decided if i ever move out i'm gonna need a pet. i would've gone crazy if i couldnt talk  to the animals! I did't have t ofight for the remote, i had a double bed (really loving the double bedness. its hard to readjust to the single bed at home) and what i put in the fridge was there when i went to use it!!!

I've joined another bible study. the other one i was in kinda disbanded cause our leaders have gone on a trip around Australia for 6 months. the new bible study i'm in is a women's bible study made up of women that go t o the youth group at church. i went to the youth group for a few weeks but it doesn't do anything for me, but i've still been very welcomed to the bible study and i really love it. THe girls range from 17 to 23. a nice age bracket. we have fun, study, pray and just enjoy the fellowship. have i mentioned that i love it? :D

The last coupke of weeks 2 girls i know have had babies. Lisa had a little girl on the 19/7. i got to have a hold of her last sunday. she's sooo small and cute. The cluckiness may have remerged briefly but i still stand where i was before. so no kids for quite a while. Then another girl i know. i went to school with her last year, had a baby girl on the 26/7. i haven't seen her yet but i hear that she's just as small and cute as any other baby.

i have new jeans (i love my jeans!!!) and the new Michael Buble cd, which i'm listening to now. I heard a rumour that he's touringAustralia but i can't find any evidence anywhere, so if  you happen to hear anything please inform me! i missed his last concert and i'm not gonna miss this one too. I saw the Wallabies on the 7/7 and we won (as if i'd have it any other way). I went on the Harry Potter train with one of my friends. THe same friend i'm going  to the movies with in 11 hours. so i guess i should probably get going. Investigate what's on tomorrow and get some much needed sleep.

Catch you all later. I do check this page reasonably frequently its just i never get around to writing a blog. but you gotta admit that when i do, i do write a blog!

Hoo Roo

Ok I am back. I can hear the cheers already. I'm still job hunting unfortuneately (i know thats not how you spell it but thats waht you're getting). I really really really want to work. My family (mainly my Dad) are driving me up the wall! I need space, i need money so i can go out and most of all i need to move out if i want my relationship with my family to be positive- and i do.

I went to Centrelink and I am getting a jobseeker youth allowance while i look for work but i dont want to be claiming that for too long (cause i really do want to work).

Something a little odd. I've been having this same dream where i'm holding a newborn baby (and i get the impression that its mine) and i think someone else is looking at it right behind me. Its a weird dream. And i have been so clucky lately. I dont know why. I mean i do want to have kids someday but not until i'm married and theres someone else i can kick out of bed at ungodly hours in the night.

well i have to get going. i have to go lodge my fist claim form so i can get my youth allowance tomorrow

Bye- Tara

ok so we've all established that i am one of the slackest bloggers ever, but moving on. Hope everyone had a great christmas and a happy new year. mine were pretty good- well i'm still here to tell the tale so obviously not too bad. I've been working since mid december but my job finishes up on the 28th January. So presently i'm job hunting on my days off. God Bless the internet! I've also been spending a lot of time with my friend Susie. I'm a fixture in her house and car pretty much. I house sat for my nana a couple of weeks ago and i have decided that i wantto move out. i love my family but i would love some personal space as well. For this little dream to come true i gotta get that job i'm hunting for :D

Ahh, what else...?

i got my hsc results back. I'm quite happy with them. Most of my marks were in the 70s, english was 66 and extension was 56. I passed, i HAVE a hsc and school is now officially over!!! Unfortunately my marks weren't high enough for the uni course i wanted but i was expecting that so i'm not too dissappointed. Obviously God has other plans for me for the next few years. I would like to go to uni eventually, and as soon as i turn 21 i can apply as a mature aged student and they accept as long as the course isnt full.

what else...I had my haircut and coloured. i realise you dont really care but tough luck- you're gonna hear about it anyway! i am now a brunette. not too drastic but different enough for me. its the first time i've been able to dye my hair cause my schools didnt allow hair dying- image and all.

thats all i've got to say besides that it is bloody hot here at the moment!!! And i'm sunburnt. !@#$ my pommy ancestary!

Hoo roo for now

Tara

i know, i know. its been a while and i've been slack and lazy but i'm here now.hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me. well i haven't really been doing much lately. just waiting for a call from work to tell me when i start. thank goodness i finally got a call yesterday. i was told someone would call me about 2 weeks ago, but i start on Saturday. So if anyone happens to be down at the ferry wharfs in Circular Quay (as in Sydney, Australia) over the christmas break you may very well see me in my HIGHLY attractive uniform- shorts, work shirt and steel cap boots. its a look i can assure you!!! i'm also kinda hoping that i'll get paid before christmas so i can buy presents. my sister and i in theory usually go halves but i havent had any income in quite a while, and yesterday we had some rather, well i dont know what the right word would be but maybe we should just stick with bad. financial news, so mum and dad dont know how great christmas will be. we've had a few tight christmases and if i'm gonna be honest i reckon they turn out to be the best, but my dad gets really depressed cos he wants to get us all this stuff but can't afford it. and then he gets even more upset cos we understand and dont make a big deal about it. so my thinking was if i get paid before christmas i can still buy mum and dad as well as the rest of the clan some presents that will make the day enjoyable for them. if i do get paid though, i'll be fighting those christmas eve shoppers. i'll make sure i take a large drink bottle and plenty of food to snack on cos you never know how long and how hard you're gonna have to fight!!!

have i told you guys that i joined a bible study? well i did about a month ago. we've been doing the walk across the room series. i've really liked it. its evangelistic but it focusses on building relationships with people and just being that listening ear or a shoulder to lean on. a little goes a long way. so i pray that i apply that kinda stuff in my own life especially with my friends. they all know that i'm a christian, and i just pray that i'm a good example to them, a better friend and that maybe one day God will use me to get them in those big pearly gates! the bible study's been interesting. the people in the group are warming up to me and i think that they're starting to realise that i'm the not 4year old a lot of them remember.I'm actually an adult now, and they treat me like one too. i think it may be nice to get in a group that has a few more younger people but i have to be honest and say that i'm not really close to anyone in my church around my own age. i've always gotten along with the people a lot older than me. i havent been really involved in the youth group mainly because the style doesnt really appeal to me and there is a massive age difference. Year 6 (so 11/12 year olds) to year 12 kids (18 year olds). i know that thats only 6 years but its a 6 years where a lot of stuff goes on and i think you need to be able to talk about it and its hard to talk about my problems with the 12 year olds,especially seeing as i remember when a lot of them were babies or in kindy. some prayer here would be appreciated. I would love to make a connection with the people my own age. i dont really have a lot of christian friends my own age. i have friends my own age just not christian ones. someone i can talk to about stuff in my life and encourage me in my  christian walk in my day to day life, someone who understands what i'm going through...i'd really like that.

i have to get going. i gotta make mashed potato and then send my families wish list to my nana before she eats me!!!lol!

until next time, i wish you all a very merry christmas and a happy new year!!!

Jesus is the reason for the Season!!!

i have finally finshed my HSC!!! For all you folks who have absolutely no idea what the HSC is, its the final highj school exams here in Australia. I had my last exam today, and i am so glad its over!!! My high school life is complete. Finished. Done. i dont know if its actually kicked in yet, but it is as it is. thats all i have to say for now. Now we wait. For my results (they come out the 19th December-so I'll have a good christmas or a bad christmas). I'll be dissapppointed if i dont get into uni next year, but if thats the way it is thats the way its meant to be. thats all i really wanted to say. i guessed that i should record this day somewhere. And here is one of the places. i should probably go to bed. I ma so tired, but oh swo happy!!!
