Flying
I love flying!
I know you have to sit for AGES watching movies, reading/ not talk to anyone.... actually that sounds like a dream to me (I'm super lazy/ introverted at times).
I value my lazy times too much,
But anyway even if you get nervous, sad, worried, stressed etc.. when this plane leaves you see the beautiful clouds and the sky!
You just realize that whatever happens God's got you!
The song from Life Worship is playing right now and the line goes..
"You never left my side, you'll never leave me God."

Korea 2015
LOL I have not written in here for AGES
I've been writing it all in my remarkable travel book but I haven't been able to find the motivation to sit down and type everything! So... "Let's start from the very beginning, a very good place to start."

In the plane flying at the moment. (Well yes planes do fly). I just opened my bag of peanuts and it went everywhere... yeap I'm that person. It's a beautiful day, the sun is so lovely. I'm just looking out into the clouds and I am blown away by God's creation and how humans can't even replicate anything like it. I read all the beautiful letters my friends have given me and also my wonderful family. Through this short Goodbye session I've realized that I mean a lot to other people. And that's a great feeeling! I am incredibly grateful for people's support and I'm a little nervous but it's good nerves. I felt quite sick ish last night but I'm feeling great after settling in the plane.
Thank you JESUS.
- Here we go!
That is my cute and lovely Grandma :)
We were walking a long Han river :)

AHHHH yes Family bonding :)
Usually I am a sucker for avoiding family trips at all costs.
Usually because it's kind of boring and people fight occasionally and I'd rather have some alone time than go out of my way to spend time with people I don't get long with well.... Or I find hard to open up to.. I sound like a terrible person.
Hahaha that's why I'm home alone so much and have so many parties. Kdrama parties with tea and my dog.
But I'm beginning to love family trips especially after the Philippines. That really glued our family together and it actually felt like a family trip instead of 2 families being a "family". FAMILY is so important, for anyone who knows this in the brain but not in the heart... Family is hard to love, but that's why we need to love them even more, and try harder. We can't just keep loving the people that are easy to love because your true colours show when you're with family. And that's how we're going to act with our spouse. in the future! My goal is to show christ at home as well as other places but in MY FAMILY. I want to serve others more and seek to find ways to serve them instead of sitting there with my mouth open waiting for food to fall.
God spoke to me a lot in Rotorua,...More than I expected, his words were repeated to me over and over. You know it's from God when something you've read that day is repeated haha you read it again somewhere else or you hear a pastor preaching it or a close friend/ spiritual leader/ Mum say it.
God told me that I am growing through my valley, and that I needed to let the baggage that I've been carrying around, the left over hurt all to God. I need to give over the hook to the Lord. He showed me the beautiful story of Joseph forgiving his brothers. And these verses stood out to me Gen 45:4-5 "4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here,because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you."
He was telling me that he'll supply the feelings of forgiveness later if I make a choice in my heart to truly forgive DAD. And that means, to just be thankful that I have a living Father and that he somewhat cares for me (even though he has pride built up so high he doesn't know how to show his affections). If I don't forgive and move on he said that this isn't going to get any better. Your valley will only grow deeper because you're not letting go. Sometimes it feels like life just cut off all our branches and all we have left is the stump. But hope is not lost even though it feels like everything is taken away from you, or that nothing matters anymore; because OUR GOD cares so much for you. He is shaping that tree of yours to grow stronger and taller. to produce beautiful and delicious fruit. I know it's super cheezy but that's what the sermon of the church we went to in Rotorua was about. And that is the truth.
That morning I gave my problems and the heavy burdens and the grudges I had in the past all to the Lord. I didn't feel all good and like happy immediately....
I have the rest of my notes somewhere... but here are some photos!

Wellington #motherdaughtertrip
A 12 hour bus trip.
A time of reflection and realization.
A time of bonding and talking about all sorts of things,
A time of chilling (watching we got married).
The time we went to Te papa and it was just so good,
I just can't get over how great the Gallipoli exhibition was.
We basically did everything we can in Wellington.
It wasn't that big of a deal after going there, I guess that's New Zealand though.
Here are a few photos :)

Prayers before, during, after
PRAYERS AND EXPECTATIONS
* Being a Witness
* Break through to happen and chains being broken, bondage's being broken.
* Hands being lifted up for worship. Response for worship.
* Expect the unexpected
* A diver diving deeper into a deep pool/Sea going into the darkness but being okay.
The awesome things were that all of these were answered.
I have another prayer list during the time I was in the Philippines.
This was mainly in between the two camps and my expectations and prayer requests for the second camp because now we knew what was roughly going to happen and what was happening.
PRAYER LIST #2
* People being more accepting and understanding to the messages spoken to them.
* Renew my mind and spirit so I can see I am here to do your work. All about YOU not ME.
You> me.
* Truly believe my value is in Christ and not what other think or say.
* My words I speak are directly from you. I can speak these words with confidence, true love and wisdom from you. (Let the holy spirit be the guidance through the steps I take).
* Language barrier and the barrier of being strangers. The awkward, shy first encounters.
* Real breakthrough, the words that come out of my mouth can touch their hearts.
* Self control, patient and kind leader. Who can serve others.
* Decrease pride and increase humility.

Entry 2 Philippines
05/04/2015
Arrived in Mindoro.
We woke up at 4:30 am and we got there at about 7:00 am.
I really like Mindoro.
It's like such a cute retro town area.
Quad trikes everywhere, I love the fences and colours of the buildings. It just reminds me of my favourite movie Nacho Libre.
I love it!
The flight was cool, saw lots of mountains and rivers.
We went to Magsaysay where there was a small church 30 minutes from our hotel.
It was such a tiny cute church.
Kim preached and we sang some worship songs in acapella.
And something I found different was praying individually and silently on your own.
Made some cool new friends and I taught them a couple of games. It's such a good ice breaker especially for the shy ones.
You have to make the effort but it's worth it to see the people laugh and smile. It's super hot but it's bearable. The small faith baptist mission church showed me that we can worship and love the Lord no matter where we are.
They just seemed so happy with such basic things.
I love that!

MVNZfilo2015 Philippines Entry 1

We have officially arrived in Manila after 26 hours of being awake!
It's 5:00am in NZ and it was quite funny how we were in the day/afternoon time for sooo long.
We were on Friday afternoon for ages. I saw the most beautiful clouds and the most beautiful city night view. It just showed that this is the city that we're here for.
The team mates are super fun and I pray oh Lord that we can truly get along well with each other.
I give what tomorrow hold to you.
God you have taught me so much Lord and I pray that my brain can contain and remember it all.
Speak to us.

GnC 2015 our get away!
When people ask me how was the Gold Coast?
I want to tell them....
From start to finish.
Our cute self contained apartment on Monte Carlos Avenue.
Our day of adventure that lead to walking 20km.
How freaking awesome movie world was. WE are now addicted to adrenaline.
How I can't get over how great the Aqua loop was at Wet n wild. (We also took an hour nap there because we were knackered).
Giving some skin to them Sting rays, the beautiful Sea creatures and dolphins at Sea world.
The fine golden SAND.
Night walks and worship,
Rain.
I love humidity,
And aircon.
We're in MIAMI BEAACH.
I learnt that the first thing you should do when you arrive at a new place and you're there for a long time GO FIND A CHURCH. I felt like I was home when we went to hillsong.
Also I learnt there is no such thing as free wifi.
Laughing like crazy all the time with Gen.
Meeting friends when it wasn't planned beforehand.
Making our meals.
Reading everyday.
I feel refreshed.
I think I'm finally clean. #1985
FESTIVAL ONE
What a successful festival! It was a very cute community vibe, along with awesome people, music and cooked meals.
Worship was just amazing and the Lord spoke so clearly to me it was so beautiful and honoring. Discerning his voice is always something I struggle with. It was a very surreal feeling when I suddenly woke up because my heart was beating so much faster to the sound of the worship coming from the One arena.
I really love my close girlfriends. We had an absolute blast on our spontaneous trip to Raglan!! We got massive wedges from jumping off the bridge! You'd think you would've hit the water by the time you jumped. But no.....There was more falling and screaming!
