what's hot, what's not

I ♥ these things...

The ♥ symbol! It's sooooo handy!

Chloe fragrance. This is the nicest thing you could ever smell - period. I bought myself this as a present and got DJs to wrap it up for me too! hahaha so sad.. I'm currently practicing temperance by not opening up my gift! (as a result, I keep going back to the fragrance departments to re-smell it while I wait for Christmas to come!).

Melbourne (see previous post)

Playing hymns on guitar - maybe it's because we usually hear them being played on piano all the time, but it just sounds so good! Holy Holy Holy is really cool on guitar [chords: D Bm A D G D, A D Bm A/E E7 A, D Bm A D G D, Bm D G D G A7 D]

Andrew Murray. The devotions we had at camp were from his book 'Absolute Surrender' and they were a real blessing.

The FTZ (free transit zone) in the CBD and CAT buses. OK this might sound stupid, but I am such a fan (especially after coming back from Melbourne where you have to PAY for trips within the city! Unheard of in Perth!). For work I need to do quite a bit of walking around the CBD, and as the weather heats up, hitching a ride in a nice, air-conditioned bus is just fabulous. We are very spoilt here in Perth!

Subway. Meatball sub on Italian Herbs and Cheese, with everything (except pickle), salt and pepper, and chipotle sauce. So satisfying (so not a healthy choice anymore).

Statement Heels. Hahahaha that one was for Julia. :P

Christmas! I can't wait! and it's so very close now! Christmas Tree is up, lights are all twinkling, some presents are already under the Christmas tree, and this year (thanks to Leah and Eugene) I have a Gingerbread house to construct! Yes, I will post the photos up when I've finished :D. But more importantly, we remember God's gift to us, His children - a Saviour in Christ to save us from the depths of Hell. Though it's great to have all the fun and excitement of Christmas and gingerbread houses, it's even better to know that because of Jesus, we have a blessed hope that in God's eyes we are forgiven and that when we die, we will be reunited with our loving Father in Heaven for eternity.

I really don't ♥ these things at all...

Hayfever. Not sure if I'm getting hayfever, but my eyes have been itchy-as, and I tend to be sneezing a lot more than normal. Why must pollen be so lethal??

My camera. Seems like my once trusty camera is starting to be less trusty. Though he still takes some pretty good shots, I fear as though he might not last very long and this makes me sad.

Hot weather. Summer has just begun and I am already over it. Bring back winter!!

Church Politics. A lot has gone on in the past few months at my church and the ugly side of a lot of people has come out in the process. Seems as though a lot of destructive words have been uttered, divisive actions have been made, and for some, it seems as though God has been forgotten in the process. It's comforting to know that God has the same thoughts when it comes to these things. Proverbs 6:16-19.
