Thank
you to all who signed my guestbook. Unfortunately the provider I was using,
BeeSeen.com has now closed down, so my guestbook is, once again sadly
lacking in entries. Please make use of the new one !!

from my bookshelf:
Well,
you've made it this far,
so
here's a little of what makes me tick!
I
love spending time studying & being challenged by Gods word, but I also
struggle in my walk with God - though I think if we are entirely honest
- most people do. I desire to live a life that is pleasing to God, and
to have a close relationship with Him, but find myself faltering all
the time. There are things I still need to allow God to work on, and
some of them are tough areas, but I know that whatever happens I want
to live my life in such a way that people see Jesus is the centre of
it. I'm not afraid to let people know that Jesus is my Lord. My favourite
prayer times are while I'm walking to and from work, when and I can
talk to Him about everything! Always I want my relationship with God
to go deeper. Of course that requires effort on my behalf and learning
to trust and obey God in ALL circumstances.
I'm
generally fairly laid back, perhaps a little introvert. I can get
quite intense when certain topics come up that I feel strongly about.
I am a very determined person, with a definate 'dependant' streak
- I want to be able to do things for myself. I'm the sort of person
that is not afraid to go up to a perfect stranger and ask for directions,
although I'm not too keen on public speaking, or being alone in a
large crowd.
I
was born in Hamilton and have only travelled as far south as Christchurch.
I lived in Wellington/UpperHutt for 5 years and then moved further
north with my parents and sister to Whangarei. In March this year
I got engaged, and in August moved to Canada where I am now living
with my husband in Ontario.
When
I was 10 our family stayed 2 weeks on a launch in the Bay of Islands
- that, and our regular holidays on a 25ft yacht on Lake Rotoiti (from
age 3 - 9) are my most memorable holidays. I'd love to do that sort
of thing again some day. I would love to do an Old & New Testament
Bible Lands tour someday, God-willing. I'd also like to tour Europe
and I particularly want to see more of Canada and visit Australia.
I
don't currently play any sports, but I enjoy watching them, (cricket
and netball on tv and sometimes rugby, live). I do however love kayaking,
walking, camping, and bushwalks.
I
enjoy a variety of styles of music, including the following: Polarboy,
Audio Adrenaline, Delirious, RSJ, DCT, TobyMac, All Star United, Five
Iron Frenzy, The OC Supertones, Switchfoot, Third Day, Sonic Flood,
Among Thorns, Jars of Clay, Jaci Valasquez, Michelle Tumes, Charlie
Hall, Bare Naked Ladies, Googoo Dolls, U2.
I'm
big on lawyer movies and anything that makes you think, I'm not overly
fond of American slapstick comedy, but will watch them now and then.
I do like Romantic Comedies though, and like a good British Comedy.
Some of my favourite movies are: The Client, A Time to Kill, Shawshank
Redemption, Much Ado About Nothing, Miss Congeniality, Pretty Woman,
Nell, Maverick, Catch Me if You Can, A Walk to Remember, Billy Elliott,
and The Full Monty.
My
favourite Authors are: Phillip Yancey, John Grisham, Chuck Missler,
Bodie & Brock Thoene, Francine Rivers, C S Lewis, A W Tozer, Frank Peretti,
and Ravi Zacharias.
