It's been a while, hey? I am really sorry I haven't written in a while or been in very good contact period, but I thought today I'd update you all on some things that have been going on here. Geez where do I begin?
First off, I have heard back from Sam. She isn't coming back til next year. She is totally okay with it and knows that this is what's best. She is at peace with it and feels like this is what the Lord has told her to do. She is staying back in South Africa to build up her relationship with her dad and be there for her mom.
Wow, so I had no idea so many people read my blog. Like, one of my former housemates said that she likes my blog, and then one of my friends in Illinois said she loves reading it as well. So cool! I think blogging is such an ingenious way to keep up with everyone from across the world! Also, I just got this thing called Twitter. It's apparently becoming really popular. But basically its just a simple answer to the question, "What are you doing?". I just write a short summary of what I'm doing every now and then. If you want to get one, go to twitter.com, and you can follow my updates. You'll see, though, here on my blog that it shows my Twitter updates on the top right hand corner of my page so you can see what I'm doing throughout the day. :)
So lately I have been really busy. Just on Wednesday night I went to the Coldplay concert and it was awesome! Here is a video (sorry for all the screaming in the background...haha)--
I also have been serving alot in church and doing college. Can you believe I am in the MIDDLE of my SECOND semester of college? Geez, seriously, it feels like I JUST started my second semester, and kind of still feels like I haven't been Australia that long. Soon enough, I will be a second year. CRAZINESS!
Right now I'm looking into getting a car. I have a friend who has a friend (haha) that is going to help me find a car. He used to work in car auctions. I better get on it though, because soon enough dad and Drew will be here! Yep, that's right! Dad and Drew are coming over to visit in July! :) I'm SOOO excited! Hopefully mom will get the money to be able to come visit someday soon too!
So just to let everyone know, Colour Your World Conference (the Hillsong annual women's conference) and the next big album recording are coming up. Wednesday, 25th of March, I have training for Colour, and then the 26th-28th is the first Colour Conference. I am scheduled to work in kids, so I know I'll be exhausted! Haha. Then Sunday, the 29th, is the Live Album Recording at the Sydney Entertainment Centre (same place I saw the Passion conference at). I have been scheduled on choir!!! This is so cool, because that means I'll be in for the recording, and not only that, but I'll be on the first few front rows (choir isn't actually onstage, they basically just are the people in the front rows of the audience). So that is really neat! Then the second Colour Conference is from Monday, 30th of March to Wednesday, the 1st of April. I am working in kids during this conference as well. Boy, am I gonna be POOPED! Haha, but I know it will be an AMAZING experience! I can't wait! So yeah, just know that I probably won't be in contact with anyone during those days. Pretty much I'll be working the conferences all day and then getting little sleep at night. Hehe.
Oh, by the way, I am feeling much better. I am healed in Jesus' name! I've been taking better care of myself (i.e. eating wiser choices of food).
And everyone, please pray for my friend, Amber Ray. She is one of my very best friends in the entire world! She was the one that came to Florida with me and loved me out of my stupidity (if you don't know that story, don't worry about it...just stupid boy stuff). She's always been there for me, so I'm asking everyone to please be there for her in prayer. Her stepdad just passed away a couple days ago, and she's having a really hard time with it all. I can't even imagine! PLEASE be praying for her! This is a super hard time for her!
Anyways, love you all, but I have to go get ready to serve at church tonight! :)
Lots of love from Down Under,
Ri :)
P.S. Pick up the People Magazine (Country Special Edition) for March 2009. My dad has an article in it for his BBQ restaurant! :)
