Life is amazing! I got a car today, the rabid mongoose is what its called, im very excited about it, life will be easier, slash thats a lie, transport will be easier. Currently job hunting, turns out it is a lot harder than i thought it would be, i guess its a real wake up call that im not going to be given everything.
I guess the thing that amazes me about life is that things can be so good, but in an instant it can all turn around, its funny sometimes how oblivious the rest of the world is, going through the motions that they dont realise how much pain people are in. Thats what amazes me about God, when the world is oblivious God isnt, its amazing how when life does suddenly become the most painful thing that you have ever experienced, God is right there to pick you up and make it all better again.
It amazes me how in life things can be going so good and then suddenly it can all turn around. But it amazes me more how in the deepest of times and in the darkest hour God suddenly makes it all ok again.
There is noone like my God. My best friend and father, my encourager and my saviour. Words can not describe the feeling of joy i get from hanging out with him. There is no other way i would rather live my life. He is with me through every tear and laugh. Its amazing how he sticks by me through everything.

Relient K
I love Relient K. I have spent the majority of the year in denial of the fact that they are potentially the greatest band ever and after an intense debate inside my heart i have decided that it is ok that I enjoy Relient K. I guess its because i like to have my own opinion of music and not let others influence me, but there is no doubt that the opinions I have been receiving were in fact correct. Thank you Berni and Andy gale for introducing me to this amazing thing. That is all

A porduction life
As i lay in my bed, dreaming peaceful calm dreams having an amazing sleep, i am suddenly awoken by the sound of my alarm. In a confused state i pick up my phone to see that it is 330am. I often ask myself why the heck i get up at this time sunday after sunday, its currently 459am and im waiting for aaron morgan to pick me up, and it hits me nowish every sunday morning that the reason that i get up at this time of the morning every sunday isnt so that i might recieve blessing in the form of muscles, or that i might get noticed by Ps John, or even that i might receive blessing from the Lord. The reason i get up at this time of the morning every sunday is so that someone might come to know God in the 10am and 530pm service, sitting side stage in a 10am service seeing people get right with God suddenly makes all the tiredness all the pain, all the frustration and sometimes anger go away. in that moment no words can describe the joy that i feel because something i have done has made a difference.
Its the biggest honour to serve God and know that people are getting impacted by what i do. its funny i always get told that ill see my reward in heaven but i legitimately have already seen it.

Mercury Bay
I feel a stron obligation to blog about my childhood best friend, the guy who always had my back. I received mercury as a gift in my year 4 year. i was legitimately as big as my bag. Mercury came with lego and that was very exciting. Mercury stayed with me, right through until the end of this year, i can honestly say that the two compartment function of mercury made it very easy for me to use him as a school bag. I feel the best way to thank the amazing mercury bay is to right him a poem. So here is a little something i have been working on
Oh Mercury Bay, What a wonderful day
Oh to Mercury Bay
Oh Mercury Bay, What a wonderful day
We often liked to run around and play
Oh mercury, mercury, mercury bay
At times it seemed things would not last
Life seems to happen way to fast
Oh mercury, mercurcy, mercury bay
Its nice to know that someone cares
We used to carry round my teddy bears
Oh mercury, mercurcy, mercury bay
But now my life is fast moving on
No more time to play ping pong
Oh mercury, mercurcy, mercury bay
There's really no words to say thank you
For all the little things that you do
Oh mercury, mercurcy, mercury bay
Oh mercury bay, what a wonderful day
And now one final time ill say
Oh mercury, mercurcy, mercury bay

Faretheewell (do justly)
I want to start with by letting you know that i am a master in the kitchen, thats not being arogant just honest appraisal. I just got back in the kitchen for the first time since exams and realise how amazing it is to create something in the kitchen.
As I sit here writing this I am legit holding back the tears from a song called Faretheewell, I am challenged by how God can simply mess me up regardless of the place and time. As i look at the title of this song it warms my heart, probably only because i am leaving highschool forever this week.
As I look back at my highschool life I am actually amazed at how much i have grown, from a little boy with the ability to turn any situation into the most awkward place you could ever be. Not knowing how to talk to people and having the biggest bag in creation (Oh Mercury Bag). I met Jesus in my year nine year, and started to pop into what God had for me. My year ten year was amazing, simply loving life and actually making some friends, starting to step up into the man i am now, it was fairly uneventful however i had to say good bye to some amazing people who like every Africaans family decided to move to Australia. Year 11 for me was insane, with the arrival of Andy Gale i began to be able to talk to people, not really that well. Year 11 for me was one of the hardest years of my life, I was told that my father had 6 months to live. Year 12 was the hardest year but easily one of the best years of my life, with the loss of my Father but growing so much in God, making new Friends, growing tighter with the right sort of people, taking what felt like leaps toward what God wanted me to do. As i look back on the current year, as i leave high school and step into what God has called me for, i have by far had the best year of my life, running a christian group an seeing it more than triple, seeing over 300 decisions for Jesus in a highschool, this has been a year that i have grown into a family, making new friends and living life in what God has for me.
I didnt really want this to be a serious blog but thats how it ended up. I want to say Faretheewell Tawa College you have served me well, i have served you well. Its funny how we get so attached to things, as people the hardest thing is letting go, sometimes its easy but to say goodbye to highschool, its so weird.
I honestly cant wait to get to where God has called me to be. So pumped!

The beginning
Well here we are ive decided to join the revolution and start a blog. Obviously i have know idea how to do it so i thought im probably going to wing it. i thought i might start by talking about the process of creating this blog. So it began with a close friend of mine creating a blog, i decided i would join him because i can. so i have dial up, im just believing that my mum will see the light and get broadband. so it took me about an hour and now here i am writing about the long process.
Anyway a bit about me, I love Jesus, end of story, almost 5 years ago I invited Jesus into my life and never looked back, i am passionate about seeing his house grow and seeing lives impacted and turned around for him. I love in particular seeing teenagers lives impacted and changing the stereo type of what a teenager is and what a christian is.
As i look into the next season of my life, leaving highschool and entering the real world to work for a year and then do an intership, i am filled with faith for what is to come and i hope to step into greater things than i could ever think about.
