|  wow...another coolest opportunity....there was this snake demo thing in the mall....they had all kinds of crazy snakes and things...free for the holding and cuddling....even venomous ones...i held a red-bellied black snake which is poisonous, and no...they hadn't de-venomed them...they just trusted them cause they were so tame. it was kinda freaky but fun and definitely something i wouldn't have missed even tho they were seriously creepy.
i think God is giving me lots of opportunities to get over my fear of snakes...i mean...He moved me to Aus... i seriously have hated/feared snakes for the longest time....(innocent nzer ), but now i'm a tad more comfortable...which is a good thing.  this top pic is some type of python...and it was squeezing round my neck in a much too personal manner....kinda all over me in a creepy way...busy fellow... 
this one is my icky poisonous friend...i was not comfortable holding it for long...my mind was full of weird thoughts...didn't want to tick it off...  here i'm holding a blue-tongued something...don't really know what it is...it did stick it's tongue out, but just not for the pic...
 this one's a baby croc...cute little thing....nice and still...i'm just glad it's as small as it is.
this little one was my fav to hold...its a baby python...very clingy and strange at first, but so soft and nicely manageable. i think you all should look at coming to aus to snuggle with snakes...it's quite the buzz... | | |
| Jordan and I during our engagement shoot. and oh yeah...btw...for those who don't know Jordan asked me to marry him on the 15th July. We are planning an early June wedding next year, in Fort Collins, CO.

Worlds Apart I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tear
Of a world embracing every heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees
All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
take my world apart

| Wow…I’m not that good at keeping this updated…I think maybe I'm distracted.  Ok, so my big news is that I’m coming to the States for Tim and Bree’s wedding, and am most thrilled and excited that it’s happening!! 
I will be staying with friends for the rest of my time in the States, which will be from May 29th –August 15th.
The Lord has proven Himself faithful beyond words, as He always has. The last few months have been a growing and learning time for me with many ups and downs, many failings and learning how to rise again, learning to breathe in these abundant skies, learning to believe the unbelievable, to have great expectations of my God! Everything is wonderful though…ALL that’s in my head is in HIS hands.
I find I have to make the decision to see with my spiritual eyes, to not focus on the physical problems, but to simply rest in, and have faith in the promises that all things are for my good, that my real life is hidden in Christ. It’s a wonderfully exciting life! God is teaching me so much about His love for me… my confidence is not in my love for Him, which is frail and shallow at best, but in His love for me, which is steadfast, unmovable and never grows weary of me!! | | |
