Weekend Fun!

I am thankful for all my amazing friends that God has placed in my life.
Here in particular I am thankful for Liv, that is Olivia Burt.
I ventured over the harbour bridge to the suburb of Bucklands Beach to have a slumber party at Liv's house in the weekend just past and what a fun time it was!
Sooo much fun packed into one weekend :)
We kayaked, walked, made pizza, grocery shopped, roller blade, made a trip to the airport, churched it up (yea I just invented that saying, cool huh?) and enjoyed good company (well I did!!).
Liv is an amazing woman of God who inspires me in my walk with God! Love you girl!

Aoteaora

Basically I get easily distracted. Right now I have been sitting at my desk for a about 2 hours (well I hung out my washing at some stage) supposedly studying for a human development quiz I need to do at some stage this weekend but I have not gotten far. I have banned myself from facebook until I go to bed (and have got a decent amount of work done!).
Soo I was just looking round the net, looking at old emails, and decieded to go to my old blog...yes it is very old. I did such an awful job of keeping it updated, I know a shocking job really! I thought to myself, why not start writing in it again when I get bored. So that is what I am going to attempt to do cos I have so much time for it (I could be going for a run now, writing emails, writing letters, homework)!
I guess I have been living on the north shore of Auckland for a month now and things are going well. Well into the swing of classes and everything at uni, can't say I am ontop of everything though.
It does not seem like 4 months since I left the states, its sureal. I love being back home and love NZ, but Minnesota will forever be apart of me now and I REALLY miss it!! In particular my family and friends, and also the city and state itself, what a beautiful place, its my mission in life to convince people to go visit Minnesota, definitely one of the places you should go to before you die!
Well that is all for now, lest I get too distracted....
My theme for 2010 is "My God is so Big"! For sure he is!! Yet waay to often I forget this "O thee of little faith" is probably what God is constantly thinking about me.
The creator of the universe, of life, of my life; nothing is too big for him! May I never forget this! I really want this to be a part of my life this year. A part of my thinking and daily walk with my Lord.
Here is a picture of downtown Auckland taken from a ferry that Miri and I caught from devonport one day.
