I'm back from a weekend without no furniture and no technology and here's how it went:
Friday -
I was quite sick, contemplated whether I go to to yuk (year 7 to 10 youth group which i lead at) that night or not. Spent the whole day in bed chatting to friends on chat/msn. I got a call from Big W asking me to ring back, but I couldn't because I had lost my voice so I rang my dad(with the little voice I had) and got him to call them. I found out that I have a job interview with them on the 24th which is good news.
At around 3pm I decided I was well enough to go to yuk so I got my youth pastor to pick me up on his bus pick up run. Got to moxies (youth bible study) at 5pm where we had 'powerhouse', we have praise music (eg hillsong united, planetshakers) and sing and dance and whatever. We also watched 2 clips off a Ken Davis dvd, very funny but I got something out of it as well.
Then went to youth at 6pmish, we left at 6:30pm to go to Charlies (all you can eat diner) where I stuffed my face silly (but everyone else was!) and I had to sit on the floor starting at 9pm because that was when I decided to start the 40 hour famine. Went back to the youth headquaters, got dropped off at my house on the bus drop off run.
I got my bag packed and my mum took me to the church where I would spend the next two nights with fellow faminers.
Slept in one of the back rooms in the Sam's (Sunday AMs, kid's Sunday school) with my friends Lara, Angela, Jamie and Rachel. I slept in my sleeping bag, and it was a good thing the carpet was semi-soft because I would have woken up with a really sore back.
Saturday -
Got up around 8:30am and didn't really have any breakkie coz I was still pretty full from the night before.
Played some cricket and four square with the other faminers. It was pretty good weather, so we decided to make a trip down to the beach. After I got a change of summer clothes from my dad, we headed down to Semaphore Beach in cars. The sun was so warm and the sand felt so good in between my toes after months of not being down at the beach. I took a few pictures which I will put on my flickr account in time.
Then we headed back to the church where I got my mum to pick me up. I went home, had a shower, got changed, had dinner then got back the church where pulse (year 11+ youth group) had started and everyone was piling onto the bus so I quickly ran and just made it.
We went up to hiking spot near Amstey's hill, and played 'dastardly double deed' game thing. One girl pulled out coz she was getting sick from not eating food and walking around heaps.
Anyways... my team won! And we got a shoe box (treasure chest lol) full of lollies and chocolates and all sorts.
We split up the prize into different bags when we got back to the church so we could all have a share.
After pulse had ended I headed back into the Sam's building where we watched that Angelina Jolie movie where she goes to different third world countries to help out and stuff. I got tired near the end of the movie so I headed into the back room where I found a few people playing my boardgame I had brought 'Life' so I went into the crampy storage room and fell pretty much straight to sleep.
Sunday
Woke up feeling pretty crap from the cold. Got up, got changed, packed my stuff up and moved it over to the church's red room.
Went to moxies leaders bible study at 9:30am then moved into the main hall where we sat on the floor for the entire church service.
Pretty much went home straight away because I was feeling sick. I was so glad to be home again, and that is where my 40 hour famine ended so I sat on the lounge and I also went back on my computer where I found 16 new emails and only 1 myspace comment. GOSH!
Anyways... that was pretty much it. I have raised $20 so far so I need more donations... if you can thanks!
I am still sick so I would appreciate your prayers as I am trying out for a day at a Bakery on Wednesday and I have the job interview at Big W on Thursday.
Till next time... catch ya later mutilator!
