The smile has not left my face, like i said...the news is GREAT!!!

Another boring week at work...

Another fun weekend...another boring week at work!

Went to Cirque Du Soile, Varekai with Jodi and Daniel on Thursday. It was totally amazing, awesome, mindblowing stuff - they are so talented!! Had a really great time hanging out with Jo and Dan, having dinner together and watching and paying out the freaky teenagers who were going to watch Panic at the Disco and were obviously in competition with each other to see who could wear the strangest outfit!!! Good times were had by all.

Also had a great time at Simon and Felicity's wedding on saturday afternoon, dancing, chatting, eating great food, and enjoying the general revelry - congratulations guys!

Prayer points:
Kristen - General weariness, both mental and physical. Mentally from work and physically from new fitness training program - feeling good but muscles hurting! Pray for renewed enthusiasm at work and for patience with other staff. Praise for positive results from fitness program, pray for continuing dedication to work through the pain!

Scotty - New boss at work has settled in well. Also hurting muscles from fitness program. Praise for healthier, more positive work environment with start of new head chef. Pray for continuing dedication with fitness program (he's only been to 3 out of 7 - naughty!!)

Black Stump...the dust bowl, not the restaurant!

Well Scott, Luke, Jess and I had an exciting weekend down at Black Stump, the Christian music festival. It was a weekend full of good bands, dust, funny comedians, dust, great converstations with old friends and made some new friends (Hi Andrew from New Zealand!), and a lot more dust...just in case we didn't already have enough! We went down there as 153FISH "the stall", sold some clothes and met some other nice ppl who also sold clothes - lots of clothes were sold, especially on saturday when it was cold and lots of ppl had forgotten to bring jumpers!!!

Some highlights were:
* Stephen Hilaire - a comedian who is absolutely brilliant. James, if you want to borrow the dvd i bought it on the weekend!
* Antiskeptic - always a great performance! Had the pleasure of meeting a chatting to Sean, who is a really nice guy and was sincerely interested in 153FISh and thought the name was very clever.
* Operation Mobilisation - an amazing mission opportunity different from any other i've heard of. If you want to know more just ask me!

Praise for a fun weekend of fellowship, music, and comedy. Praise for old friendships reunited and for new friendships forged. Praise that Scott was able to come down after work snd had a gerat weekend. Praise that 153FISH was well received into the wider Christian community :o)

Pray that we can continue the friendships that were made over the weekend. Pray for bands like Antiskeptic, that they can continue to use their influence over young music listeners to preach the word of God.

Til next time...write me comments!!!
