mighty to save

Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

  Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

Dad

My Dad

On the 2nd June 1962 a hero was born, a man who would change the face of this planet one life at a time. It was on this day that Andrew John Farmer was born, to be honest i dont know a lot about his life until the point where I met him. I got to meet him on the 5th of November 1992 which was a real honour, I think it was something like 330am when we met. This is when God blessed with a role model, a great friend and the number 2 Hero in my life.

Life progress and my relationship with this incredible man began to grow closer.

 He was My Hero

 There were times in my life when I got stuck, before i met God and even after, God used my Dad as my Hero. There was this time when I was really young and this girl started beating me up and my Dad was first on the scene to help me and be me Hero. Another time when I got lost for literally three hours when he was looking after me at a four wheel driving thing, just as I was about to run a way to get back myself, there he was.

He was My Helper

 To be honest sometimes i didn't know the answers, Dad was always the first person I would ask about stuff. Dad knew life, he knew what i should do in situations. Dad once ran half a race with me because I had the stitch, he got owned from it but he wanted to help.

He was My Support

I guess this is pretty self explanatory but, when I needed a shoulder to cry on he was the first person i would go to. He probably invested in some water proof spray for his clothes the amount of times that he let me let it out.

February 25 2009 at 3pmish my Dad, Helper, Support, Hero and so much more passed away. The reason I write this is as a tribute to him, although its a couple of days late it was his birthday just two days ago. Dad not only impacted me but all who he came into contact with, he led an example of how one should live out their relationship with God. He was generous, a man who had charisma and was always there when you needed him. Although he was a Hero, he helped me learn that in my life one thing is more important than all else and that is my relationship with my God, and that all else fails in comparison. 

Happy Birthday Dad, I miss you

What a legend.

This is why I live, For Jesus and for his glory, this is who my Dad lived for, so perfect and so holy, he gave his life for me and i cant help but put this in here. Its for this reason why im still here and why i do all i do.

If life had a remote that would be sweet

Ive been thinking about what life would be like if we could pause. I think if i could pause moments one of them would have to be when my mum is angry, i would pause it and fix what she is angry about. I also think sleep would be something i would pause, so that i could be sleeping at the same time as doing other stuff if it could work that way.

To be honest i think i would actually pause a lot of things just so i could have a sweet sleep. Set up on a sunday is something i would pause for ages so i could sleep in until i feel like waking up. Some messages after set up are very difficult so i think being able to pause them so i could sleep then resuming them after a power nap, just so i can receive the goodness from the Holy Spirit and not have to be in a constant fight with my body and mind.

I feel like this is a momentous thing because i have split what i would usually do in one paragraph into three. Then if life had a rewind moment, i think i would rewind back to some key moments in my life, i would go back to my Dads bed side on February 25 2009 and spend some more time with him. I would rewind back to the day i got saved which i cant remember the date of. I would go back to all the conferences that ive gone to and get touched again. I would probably re wind to some stupid mistakes in my life and beat myself up before i do them.

If life had a fast forward button i would go to the date my brother meets the lord, i would go to the day when church is in the stadium, i think i would probably go and find out who i get married to. I would find out when i die.

I guess its cool to think of being able to do all that but its that uncertainty about the future that makes its so awsome, i dont want to know what date my brother meets the lord, that would either shatter my faith for him now or make me not even believe that he will get saved. I am content just believing that today is the day he will get saved. I wouldnt go and change my past because its those things that ive learnt from that build be into the person i am today.I dont want to know when i die, i just want to live life to the full now. Thats why im glad im not outside of time and God is.

Graeme Swift, im annoyed that you left

I had to say good bye to a great friend and mentor yesterday, i went to the airport at like 3am to see him off, but the night was long.

It all started when a good friend called Juan decided to see thor and buy me a ticket too, great movie! I thoroughly enjoy the fact that he is just the man and can beat people up with his sweet hammer. The  movie ended and it was 1130pm, we decided not to go home because it wouldn't be worth it so we drove to mount vic to look at the lights and gaze at our sweet city. We then went for a drive to all my old houses and then round the bays, we saw penguins, the highlight of my night, i nearly hit some, honestly they are so cool. I often wonder what it would be like to be a penguin, just waddling everywhere living the dream being a gangsta penguin like Mambo from happy feet but also like cody maveric from surfs up. then we went to the airport but it was closed, i ran and my pants ripped. We went to KFC but it was closed, thats why maccas is better. We then went to maccas and ate and then went back to the airport, we met these sweet australian guys. They were cool, Then graeme showed up, i chilled out with him and his mum for like three hours. Then graeme had to leave to go and get married. I cried, it was emotional. Graeme left. Graeme is pretty much the reason why i am still at elevate. I am annoyed that you left graeme, you are an egg.

Dreams, as in when you are asleep dreams, not i have a dream, dreams

Dreams, dreams are so strange. I had one the other week that i stole all of logans beanies so he tried to kill me but luke smith came to my rescue and killed logan with a shoe.

Sometimes i have dreams that im chilling with my Dad, I had one the other day that i was watching a movie with my Dad, it was good.

My favourite dreams i get are me chilling with God in heaven, he is so amazing, i love hanging out with him in my sleep. I had one where i went for a run with God and just talked for hours on end about life and stuff like that, it always amazes me that God always turns up in the way that is best for me.

This is why i like sleep so much, its so entertaining.

I had a dream when the world was a trampoline and we just jumped around, there was no need for food or sleep, just jumping, i was singing this oldschool song the whole time, it was called jumping thumping people, it made it more fun.

And then you get those falling dreams, where you fall off a cliff or something and then wake up real suddenly, those are awsome.

Fire

I was lighting this fire the other because it was cold and thats what i like to do when its cold, and partly because im a secret pyro, as i was doing so i began to think about what fire actually is. In chemistry you generally narrow things down into catagories, liquid, gas or solid. Fire isnt any of those, fire is awsome because like a lot of things it can be used for benefit but also for destruction, thats not what makes it awsome, what makes it awsome is that it is one of the first things people look to to survive out in the wilderness. I also really enjoy looking into fire, its the kind of thing you can look at for ages.

I also thought about why things are they way they are, like when you look t blue you relate it to blue, imagine if blue was the colour of hot. I think that is the reason why is get so cold in the sea, because its a bit blue so i think it will be cold.
