My portrait. (Taken with instagram)
Failure
As my first post I thought I’d share something that’s happening in my life lately, something I’m begining to know well. Yes, failure. Within the last few days I’ve been rejected from a school leadership role and a job at the body shop. So firstly I’ll talk about my fails.. Well senate is where a student is elected to represent the students in a certian area, (mine was like fund raising) anyway a friend and I both ran for it sure I wanted the spot but I wanted her to get it more so that was ok. Secondly I applied for the job at the body shop at my local plaza, I got into a group interview where it seemed I was one of if not the youngest there. I feelt asthough I was well presented and confident even when stumbling across the room in my heels I can just walk in. My dad was so confident I’d get it and I’m not gonna lie so was I. So when I didn’t get a call, decided to call then found out that”unfourtunatley I was unsuccessful” I’m gonna b honest and say it hurt, it hurt enough to make me cry then cry harder when I saw my rejection letter from senate. What I wanna get to was I was feeling pretty darn shit to b frank how did I remove thus feeling? I typed in failure bible versus in my iPhone and hit search. I searched for confidence, reassurance and self worth and I found it; “but forget all that- it is nothing compared to what I’m going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in a dry wasteland” Isaiah 43: 18-19
‘my flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.’ pslam 24: 10
‘for the vision is yet the appointed time; it hastens toward the goal and it will not fail through it tarries, wait for it for it will certainly come, it will not delay.’ habakkuk 2:3
after reading these there was a great sense of peace that came with the reacurance God had offered me. I now anticipate the better path God has for me:) going to the bible isn’t something I usually do when I need help but Ivd found for the second time Gods word is what I needed to hear and really helped me:) so yeah failure was over come by Gods plan which is better then my own:)

Being lazy.
Maybe it’s the weather or maybe it’s me but I’m in my pjs and i really have been a couch potatoe! I feel hidious and I couldnt do this everyday I’d surely hate myself. I have homework I havnt touched all weekend and my rooms a mess. I have a crap load due in tomorrow at school and there is no motivation…at all! I reckon also because the end of the year is coming up my care factor is becoming closer and closer to zero. I need help! I want to be motivated but ive got to the I-don’t-give-a-crap-stage once again.
Youth group
Youth group is awsome! I’ve just been and I havnt for quite a while and I loved it! The people are lovely and the message was really great:) Generousity was the focus and we did a simulation game the reanact the last 40 years in the world I got so caught up in winning that I didn’t stop to see or even think of others! It was horrible but i guess that’s how it is in real life, u get caught up in ur own stuff and u dont see past it. We found out that at the end there was enough for everyone to be feed have fuel and have a luxury item eg a tv. It really put things into perspective for me. I’m so self absorbed I don’t c or choose not to c the need around me. I really hope to do something out of this and adress this issue of giving.
Making paper
There I something satisfying and freeing about seeing a whole semester of science sheets, exam study notes and test flying around in a blender with food dye and water.
Come to think of it this I where alot of not just school stuff that’s paper ends up. It gives use, purpose and an arguable better lease on life for recepits and tampon instructions that you only ever have to read once in your life.
A couple of hours labour and I have 35 pieces if paper that were meant to be pink an orange and currently look like mauve and yellow. This paper whatever thr colour decides to be will become one or some of the following; bookmarks, books, personalized cards as well as tags. people who recieve These personalized hand-made things really appricate the effort instead of the bog standard store bought typicals. This is part of the reason I love making making paper and continue to do it even though the food dye stains the bench and it’s not the coolest hobbie for a sixteen year old girl . The other reason is the feeling that you doing a little something for the environment instead of being the mass consumer that we are all programed to be. I encourage everyone to give it a go and hopefully you’ll feel the satisfation I do:)
