Woww...so this is the internet..i can hardly remember. I've been internet-less for 5 days and I somehow managed to survive. The optus guy finally came to do all the cabling for my internet today so..yayyy! Sorry, don't think I can tell you in detail what I've been doing the past week coz it's all been a blur really, not that is has been all that eventful.
Monday we moved into our rented house (our temporary home for the next 10 months). 2 huuuge trucks arrived on our doorstop and literally took up the whole street...PLUS our street is really narrow. Okay.so last time i said we had 90 boxes or something yeah? change that...the grand total came to just over 200. Whoops. So much for throwing a lot of stuff out. The removalists were here from 11am-4pm. I spent the next couple of hours attempting to set up my room and make it look as pretty as possible , not too mention scurrying around, digging through stacks of boxes, in the search for my mobile charger only to find that it had been in my carry around luggage all along...DUH PRIS.
Tuesday I went to Koorong with one of my cousins. The one here is bigger and it's just outside the train station. How convenient! Spent an hour and a half there and came out with one cd BUT not just ANY cd..it was THE cd i had been wanting to buy for the past half a year-the new casting crowns album!! yayy finally =) Overall..a good album. I love Casting Crowns espescially because behind every song there's a story...i love their lyrics and the songs are really deep. Yes..i know..i love deep and meaningful stuff.
My favourite song:
"Somewhere In The Middle"
Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control
Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle
Are we caught in the middle
Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control
Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middleDoes that not sound familiar? Feeling like you're stuck in the middle. Knowing where you want to be. Knowing that God wants so much more from you. Knowing you're so far off from that 10 on the holiness scale. Always finding yourself always stuck in that grey area, where things are neither 100% right or 100% wrong. I don't know about you but the lyrics to this song really made me ponder. Not to mention it's a nice song as well.=)
Wednesday and Thursday I just bummed around and explored the inner west (where I'm situated) The good thing about where I'm staying is that it's convenient to go places =)
Today my cousin woke me up at 9am this morning with an sms asking me my plans for today.Turns out he had nothing to do and I had nothing planned either so Barny, Geoff(my cousin) and I headed off to Coogee Beach this afternoon. It was between Bondi and Coogee and we decided Coogee coz it's just as good less the tourists so that's always good. It was PERFECT beach weather today. Sydney has been raining right through summer and today must have been one of the first days where the sky was clear and not a cloud was to be seen in the sky. The boys went swimming...maybe i should hav gone swimming but the idea of soaking up the sun on the beach (i put sunscreen on so it's okay) was more tempting. It was so relaxing that I fell asleep on the beach and managed to get myself a *cough*healthy*cough* tan. I didnt get burnt for once so yayyy. Finally....niceee beaches!! Quite rare in Melbourne. Except the beaches here are a lot more crowded which is a bit of a bummer.
Anyway, just letting you guys know I'm still alive and kicking so dont worry! I may not sound like it but believe me I miss you guys more than you could ever imagine but i'm trying to think positive and not dwell on it so much. so cyaa guys. xoxo
