Shakin' the Planet
Oh what to write....
Last week was Planet Shakers. For those of you who choose not to give yourselves over to Christ (HEATHENS!!!!!!!) Planet Shakers is a Christian conference aimed at equipping young people to fight the battle between good and evil (Adam, ying yang is stupid, good cannot co-exist with evil, stupid people that believe that?!).
It was fun and the teaching was powerful, i especially loved black friday, so called because the only preachers that spoke on that day were black!!! Go figure...
We learnt all sorts of things from killing the dogs (Reggie Dabbs - oh the sound effects were hair raising) to breaking boxes (Russell Evans), to yo mamma jokes(surprisingly not Reggie Dabbs, Russell Evans), to holding on to the promise (Mike Guglielmucci), to staying in the boat and crossing over(Sam Evans), to learning to recognise the stink (Matt Fielder) to taking the first step out of the boat (i think was Mike G talking about having enough faith to step out of the boat like Peter did who by the way is the only human being recorded to have ever walked on water, other than JC himself), both in different contexts obviously. Yea it was a good conference! So much solid spiritual food - if you don't got JC, you're missing out and you're missing the boat so all aboard, eh??
Now enough about boats....i'm feeling slightly sea sick....
That was all inspiring and definiately a different experience, i've never been to an actual Planet Shakers conference before so it was great. The freedom to worship in your own unique way was definately a plus and i learnt a great deal about perfect praise, the kind of praise that doesn't worry about the person sitting next to you or the person giving you malicious death stares at your spiritual behaviour, the kind of praise that surrenders all you are and all you have and all you can give to God, the kind of perfect praise that erases all thoughts of what anyone else thinks or says about you (said that), the kind of praise that erases self completely. Mind you, perfect praise is not always easy street and can be hard to actually come to but it was fun just being free to worship in the presence of God, it was fun knowing that being the sinner that i am, God still delights in my praise for him. YEA THAT WAS THE BEST!!! People can think what they like and can condemn my praise because of sin in my life but i will not let satan put it in my head that i can't praise God because i am a sinner?! God wants me to praise him no matter what and i've said this before, he says come to me just the way you are - soooo, take that dog?!
*Steps off preachers box*
During the week i had some awesome friends stay at my house, oh it was so good!!!!! Yes that includes Matt, Joel and Deens who only stayed one night, on the thursday. Adam, Cec and Alaina graced me with their presence for the whole week and what great times we had indeed! They are the bomb even if they didn't have the motivation to get out of bed in the mornings (ha! Adam had no motivation!? What's the deal there?!) and even if we did happen to get there half an hour late everday!!! No biggy, the praise and worship goes for 40 minutes anyway?! I had the most fab time and the best part was realising i had enough money to buy my first pair of thongs ever, ripcurl ones, sooooooo comfy, i want to wear them all the time. Them little kiddies also did a silly thing and bought me a green Paul Frank bag to say thanks for having 'em (gosh, silly children), but it's the greatest and i love it and i love them even though it was far unnecessary!!! We looks forward to all catching up again in March. Things were sehr quiet the next week, let me tell you!
Um anyway yea...planet shakers was good and the company was great too. I miss them all terribly so but know that they are always thinking of me as i am them. I'll sign off coz i'm not sure what else to write.

NB: Stop hassling me about never writing blogs, it's very hard to write about fresh experiences. You know who you are!!!!
