Future Husband = Father
Many people mention that the man you marry, will be a lot like your father, whether you like it or not. That statement makes me wonder though, what happens if you never had a father? Is your husband still a resemblence of your father’s genes and characteristics, even if you never met him (your father that is)?
My cousin-inlaw was talking to me on a car ride back from the family Christmas...

Dear God,
I’m a sinner. I’m sorry.

I'm sorry.
I feel that I have abused my friends and that i have abused the privelege they have given me in sharing their friendship with me. For what I am and what I have done, I do not deserve their friendship. So for all my friends out there, who can see this, I am truly sorry for all the pain and hurt I have put you through. For the burdens I have downloaded on you. For those special occasions I have...

I didn’t end up getting any Uni work done today… really sad and frustrated about that. But I ended up feeling really unwell for the rest of the day. I hopefully will do a little bit soon, even if it’s just the rest of tutorial 4… it needs to be done tonight anyway - I’ve already spent 3 days on one week… and I’m meant to be spending 1/2 a day max. ...

I’m actually thinking maybe I should move back onto college… but for the wrong reasons…
I feel valued by at least one person there, but that’s because they need someone to talk to, which can cause some emotional stress on myself (without me realising it).
It’s away from Mum
It’s away from authority
It’s away from people
I can fly low under the radar

Would You Do This?
A nurse escorted a tired, anxious young man, to the bedside of an elderly man. “Your son is here” she whispered to the patient. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.
He was heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack and he dimly saw the young man standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand and the young man...

I’ve been trying to do two third semester courses all holidays, and it hasn’t really been working too well. I had to decide to fail one course, but the other course I’ve devoted most of my living existence to, excluding when friends from South Aus. come up.
It got to the point where I created a permanent timetable:
Wake up & Meds: 6am Devotions: 7am Uni (Week e.g.4): 8am...

Who would win in a fight: pirates or ninjas?
An individual with genetic data of a pirate and a ninja, because then they would have no flaws, no all the weak attributes of each species, and be able to DOMINATE THE WORLD!!!

What would your perfect day look like?
A day spent with God, where I am having a great conversation with Him. He’s talking to me, opening my eyes to my own life, and others around me, and giving me hope and encouragement to look forward to and hold dear for when the hard times come!

What message would you want to put in a fortune cookie?
You are beautiful, God loves you, or something encouraging like that… fortune cookies really shouldn’t be depended on to tell fortunes, or even pretend to tell fortunes - they should instead be something which brings a little joy to someone’s life. Who knows that person may be having the rottenest day,...

Mum suggested or rather stated that I should move out… hmm this is going to be an interesting 2 months left at home, if it lasts…

Does anyone have a Deviant Art account?
Arguments with Mum never do any good. They just leave one feeling miserable and worthless or feeling like a monster and a horrible daughter. Sometimes I just don’t know how to control my anger… I know it’s something I need to work on, it’s sometimes the only leash of expression I know though, when no one is listening to me.

MAN I AM SO IMMATURE!!!
All through childhood I’ve been told I’m mature for my age, and as soon as I hit Uni… oh boy my maturity drops to sub-humane level… What happened to me? I AM SO IMMATURE… I don’t mind being immature in a sense, cos it’s fun. But when I’m making decisions - immaturity stinks! I wish I was mature!
I should be studying. I should be doing assignments. I should be cleaning. I should not be procrastinating. I should not be relaxing. GAH!

99 Things Girls Should Know About Guys!!!
1) Guys don’t actually look after good-looking girls. they prefer neat and presentable girls. 2) Guys hate other flirts. 3) A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards. 4)When a guy says he doesn’t understand you, it simply means you’re not thinking the way he is. 5) Are you doing something?” or “Have you eaten already?” are the first usual questions a guy asks on the phone...

I am the worst host...
I have a friend from South Australia staying with me for four days, and she’s spending Christmas here as well, and I have no idea how to occupy her. Everything I can show her of the area, I have, and Mum doesn’t like me driving too much, hence trips to the city are out… The things I thought I could occupy her with, she doesn’t like, and am just at a loss of entertainment,...

Priority... GOD?
So I didn’t take a notebook or mobile, or anything I could transmit thoughts into notes to the commissioning service, but some of the things that stood out, I will try and remember and scribe.
One in particular is:

Warm Fuzzies Book
I had a really wise and life experienced person tell me that she has a warm fuzzy book where she puts all the warm fuzzies / positive notes she gets either about herself, or something she’s done, or something that just makes her feel happy; so that when she’s sad and depressed, and just can’t get out of bed, she can pull it out and flick through it, and find some hope to overcome...

I'm turning into the GRINCH!!!
I seem to like Christmas less and less. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because this is my first Christmas at home in four years, first Christmas with the family, and first Christmas away from Teen Missions & third world values.
It’s not actually Christmas with the family as such though, either. Mum’s working, so I’ll be trying to occupy/entertain myself on...
Is off to the coast.
4 hours drive and I’m there. 4 hours staying there. 4 hours drive back. Woah! That’s 12 hours gone, and not doing Uni work…. Better hope I don’t get lost on the way. Not taking a map… hmmm not sure if that’s smart or not. But let’s see how good the brain remembers previous trips… What could go wrong?

Maybe I don’t want to go. Maybe volunteering didn’t work out for a reason. Maybe I just want to drive the 4 hours, pick up the friend, and immediately drive back, not hanging around. Maybe it’s just too much. Maybe I just want to quit, lie down, and let the World move on past me. Maybe, just maybe, this is who I am meant to be.
I’m reading through the professional experience (aka prac) handbook. And I’m starting to get really scared… what am I doing? Is teaching really for me? I just got out of school, and I’m going back in? I’m too young to die……………. in a classroom.
Breathe.Kara Breathe. Give it to God.
Breathe in. Breathe out. All good.

Cries...
Is there something that makes one cry? An opportunity to not cry? Why can one have a great day and then at night go into a realm of emptiness and lack of emotion?

Sometimes, even when we don’t want to, we have to take the responsibility of doing what is right. It may be scary, and it may seem impossible, but sometimes leadership is doing just that!
