wrong way go back

I have always found it quite funny since living in Australia that they have a road sign for people who have taken a wrong turn and are going down the road the wrong way, the sign says "Wrong way, go back". I thought this was hysterical when I first saw it and still find it amusing. As I was on the bus yesterday I was thinking about that and how in our walk with God, we too can often be going the wrong way...

I guess if you go the wrong way on the road and you see that sign 'Wrong way, go back' you have 2 choices. Listen to what the sign says and turn around 'go back' OR keep going and see what dangers are ahead. As with our walk with God, we can continue down the wrong way - I feel like I have been going down this road a little, not even in a HUGE way but just in little things. Forgetting to talk to God in prayer, not reading my bible, not trusting God, not bringing things to God and I really miss it. Some of these things are not commanded of us BUT they are things that draw us closer to God and keep us going the 'right way'.

So when I saw that sign yesterday it made me think about my relationship with God, am I trusting him with all that I am and all that I have? Am I talking to him regularly in prayer? Am I reading his word to hear what he has to teach me? Now I am aware that all of these things don't make me right with God but they are the things that keep me focused on God. My prayer is that I might go back and turn to the one who made me, who loves me, who died for me and who will one day return to give us eternal life.

tonsillitis

I thought I was getting sick on Sunday/Monday, I had a really sore throat but didn't think too much of it. I carried on working, exercising and doing what I do BUT the last two days my right tonsil has been so sore and it is HUGE! SP booked me into a new local doctor this morning (my other doc is all the way over where I used to live and work). I found out I have tonsillitis!

I don't feel too bad, I am a bit tired, have a temperature and my throat (if I don't take drugs) is really sore. So he signed me off work (I could be contagious ), he told me to rest and gave me some antibiotics to fight this nasty little bug.

So I just got a couple of DVDs and am going to lie on the couch and just chill out = doctors orders, not the DVD bit, just the rest bit!

I hope my hubby doesn't get it, it also means I will have to lay off over doing it at the gym for a few days so my body can fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!!

Hope you all have an awesome day. Tomorrow is Australia Day so everyone gets to take the day off work - Yippee!!!! We are having some people over for a BBQ, which should be fun as long as I don't give them all the dreaded lurgy.....

Will let you know how the day goes at the weekend or on Monday, Ta Ta for now

we did it, but....

..... I am so tired this morning. This morning marked our fourth visit to the gym this week. Woo Hoot! I was tracking OK but this morning when I woke up my body didn't want to play gym. Once we got there it was fine, I did 40 mins on the cardio equipment, a little less than I have been doing the rest of the week and then we did some ab work.

Now I am sitting at work, my body just managing to work with me, I had a fruit boost drink from Boost with an extra shot of something which was meant to keep me going, an hour later IT IS NOT WORKING! I have to push through the tiredness and get to three weeks. Three weeks = routine!

Anyhoo, remember that weekend I was talking about, it starts tomorrow - Yeh!

Hope you guys all have an awesome weekend! Enjoy!

bored and fed up with your life? - buy a new one

I am so not sure if this guy is for real, but anyhoo I thought it was funny. If you like doing hand stands, fire twirling and surfing - there could be a new life* waiting for you.

You have 4 weeks training in how to be someone else, plus an additional two months of on-call support from the person whose life you would be taking on.

There are a few things to consider, if you take on this new life. You will need to become a vegetarian, a friend owes you a six-pack of beer and you will need to bid higher than the current bidder (which is $150,301.00)

*this person has nowhere suggested that he is a Christian - please take this into consideration when thinking about taking on new lives!

furry fruit

My friend and I were emailing today and she told me she was having peach and yogurt.

Peaches = furry fruit = yuck. I just can't do it.

I mean I love the taste of the inside of a peach but I just can't do the furry bit, so I just have myself nectarines instead, just like peaches but NO fur.... Kiwi's are the same in the fur stakes too. Great inside but nasty and furry outside. Does anyone else understand where I am coming from?

Anyhoo, being summer it is a great season for fruits and in no particular order here are some of my favs, obviously peaches didn't make the list due to the fur.

1. Banana's (thank the Lord they have come down considerably in price)
2. Strawberries
3. Cherries
4. Nectarines
5. Apples (not the really sour ones though)
6. Blueberries
7. Grapes
8. Oranges/Tangerines
9. Mangoes
10. Pineapple

These are my top 10 as of today. What are yours?
