“But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to...”
– Luke 6:35
I'm kind of in love with Channel Eleven.
I’ve been watching it since like 2.30pm and all the shows are about half an hour long. They’re all old shows from the 80’s & 90’s at this time of day - I’m watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch at the moment. Oh the memories.
Introduce yourself.
Hi! My name’s Mary.
I’m a Catholic Christian living in Canberra, Australia. I’m 16 years old, and I turn 17 on the 13th of March. I love laughing, playing and listening to music, driving, being with my friends, laughing, watching the tennis, talking, singing, playing the guitar, strolling, praying, writing songs, taking photo’s, smiling, swimming, meeting new people…...
“I think when you are young, you are hoping that this person will be the right...”

I really like watching Tennis. It’s actually so good! Something’s always happening, it’s really fast moving - a positive for those of us with limited attention spans. I’m watching Djokovic vs. Federer at the moment - so intense seeing as it’s the World Number 3 vs. World Number 2. They’re like neck and neck and have been the whole match.
I don’t think I...
Apparently everyone had an amazing Australia Day. Mine was alright, fairly average. Played a lot of Uno with Maddie, Bella & Quag. That was nice cause it was Harry Potter Uno so at one point I got Harry, Hermione, Ron and Snape. I positioned them so Hermione was down the front of the classroom, Harry and Ron were sitting together in the middle and Snape was staring them down from the back of...
“I have engraved you on the palms of my hands”

I would very much like a kitten called Friend.
I have a driving lesson in a couple of hours. Dunno if I should be excited or nervous, really. I’ve driven heaps with my parents but not with an instructor… I need to learn how to reverse parallel and just reverse park in general.
I’m excited but there’s always that voice of doubt in the back of your mind. Something will go wrong, it’ll be awkward. But look....
Your great reward.
You pray for Faith, and you are told to do so. But I make provision in the House of My Abiding for those who turn towards me and yet have weak knees and hearts that faint. Be not afraid. I am your God. Your great reward. Yours to look up and say, “All is well”.
I am your Guide. Do not want to see the road ahead. Go just one step at a time. I very rarely grant the long vista to My...
It bothers me when people ask me how I am just so they can tell me how they are. Know what I mean? It’s just like - Look. Either ask me because you care or don’t ask me at all.
One day I won’t ask how you are back and then we’ll see what happens. HA!
I don’t even know what I’m doing I’m so tired and so out of it. I don’t even care anymore.
I have had a great past few days :) They’ve been amazing. But holy guacamole I am so over life at this moment. SOSOSO over it. Ugh.
soldierofthekingdom asked: Quite often if God wants you to do something, its generally something that you want to do yourself.
I think I'm going to do Youth Mission Team for my...
Lots of discerning to do, but I’m really excited and interested at this point :)

Whoever said this life would be easy?
It doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that being a Christian was a breeze. Nowhere in the Catechism does it state that we won’t need to suffer or sacrifice. In fact, in the Gospel of Mark itself says:
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus. “Teacher,” they said, “there is something we want you to do for us.”
“What is it?” Jesus...
“… the way you know you have found the right one is the inexpressible...”
– hm. food for thought.
I will always love Dave & The Girls.
“Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens....”

I was asked to write out how God worked in me over...
My experience of Bathurst Summer School 2011 really was all about healing. It was like a love story between God and I – God showed me how real He was and how much He truly loved me. It was the most life-changing and crazy week I’ve ever experienced!
The Lord really worked in me during the week of Summer School. Through the lectures and seminars I was taught about Charismatic gifts as well as how...
:)
Who knew recording one song could be so exhausting...
I mean, I love it, but seriously. We spent like all day and had about 40 attempts, but I just couldn’t get the tempo right! GAH! D:
Tomorrow’s my last chance for the next like, 6 months! If I don’t get it right then, I’ll be so disappointed in myself. I better go practice :(
I got healed this week.
Both physically & in my heart.
I was able to let go of everything and love God. I learnt that Jesus is totally and crazily in love with little old me and that he thinks I’m the greatest thing since oreo cheesecake. I realised that when you forgive someone, you often think you’re letting them go - but really, you’re actually freeing yourself more than anything. Jesus showed...
BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE.
So much love, so much healing, so much mercy, so much joy and respect… Can’t even deal.
I love God.
Patience, I have found, is a very dangerous thing...
