Wow, its been awhile.
Alot has happened though... Ive been to visit my family! I love them and i miss them terribly... Alot has been happening here and i guess all i can say about it is :
Praise the Lord for the struggles in life! They help shape my character and make me more like Christ! God is way too good to me!
Im not going to go into detail of everything that has been happening, but i will say that God is faithful and will fulfil his promises...
Excited about these next few months! Potentially a lovely living with me? trip to africa? certain someone? who knows?
God does :)

+ The last few weeks have been so hectic! Ive had my lovely Georgia staying with me, its been amazing! I love her dearly. My house is tiny and there is hardly enough room for 1 person, try having 3! (Donna has been staying also)... Whats funny though is im not even a little bit sick of them and im probably going to cry when i have to say goodbye to them. I dont want to.
+ Ontop of lovely visitors staying, 2/3 of the city im from went under water due to crazy floods. A heap of my friends lost everything down to the walls of their house and are now left with nothing but a half knocked down house and alot of heartbreak. Thankfully my family are okay. Im flying up there on tuesday to see them and help with the mess. I love them so much and cant wait to see them again.
+ I wont even get into the issues with being stomped all over by the ones i love.
+ This week has been breakthrough conference. Picture 400 Koreans totally hungry for more of God in a room with a handful of Australians who want the same thing. Stinking insane! This conference has been one of being grown, being stretched, alot of tears, alot of laughter, sore feet from jumping around, amazing new friends and incredible breakthrough. Im so on fire to see a difference in this city of mine! Im so on fire to see all the girls of my city set free and know their worth. Im so on fire to stop sitting around and not making a difference!
+ Conference finishes today then tomorrow the sozo conference starts. Ive been at the worship team practises and even the practise is overflowing with the glory of God. Im so excited! Friends from armidale are coming, friends from Sydney are coming. Its going to be amazing!
+ My best friend in Orange is moving to Brisbane. Shes one of the only girls who I have grown close to and im going to miss her so much!
+ Im flying to see my family on tuesday!
Crazy week huh (:

Floods...
These floods are insane. Thousands of houses have been evacuated and are now under water, therefore thousands of people are without homes. There are no businesses anymore therefore no food supplies. So many of my friends houses are completely washed away. My family are still alive, praise the Lord! It seems every suburb surrounding them is completely flooded and evacuated. They still have their house and they are safe. They're using all their time and energy to help everyone else. Im so proud of them.
Its breaking my heart to see these floods but i know that God is so good. My family dont know Jesus but they're praying, everyone is coming together and helping everyone. The plan was to push the flood waters from Toowoomba into the brisbane river then out into the ocean... Seems that didnt work so well... Ipswich got smashed with the water and the banks of the brisbane river broke so now brisbane is flooded too... All of this is ridiculous. The flood levels in Ipswich are at 21.5m ...
I dont even know what to say or what to do, besides that god is so good and he will work all things for good!

2011
wow okay, 2011... What does it have in store for me? Honestly? I dont know. Infact i dont really have an idea. Someone prophesied over me that Ipswich was the hurtful time, Armidale was the surgery and recovery and orange would be walking about my healing. I dont often agree with prophesies and different things but i agree with this one. The song on my heart for this year is Commission My Soul by Citipointe... The chorus goes
"Commission my soul with your fire uncontrolable for this great cause - to save the lost. Open my eyes to the reason im alive, Lord im ready now, ill follow you!"
Ive heard so many people make comments like "I dont even try to keep track of Ronnie, she moves too much" or "Its about time that you settle down, go to uni, get a career, get married, start a family"
I dont know of anyone that really understands me. I dont fit into the box that other people fit into. I dont see myself in a 9 til 5 job, driving a nice pretty car with my hair all tied back. Thats not me. Im the kind of girl that hears Gods voice and follows it. Now im not saying that people who have a 9 til 5 job arent hearing Gods voice or are wasting their lives, im just saying that its not what God has for me. Its not at all appealing to me. I want to bring freedom, i want to bring love. I want to get in and get my hands dirty. I want to mess up the kingdom of darkness and bring forth the kingdom of God. I want to raise people up to be all that god wants them to be. I want to be all that God wants me to be.
As for marriage - im 21, im not ready. Not to say that people cant or shouldnt get married at my age or younger. Ive just realised that im going to be in this season once. Once im married, thats it. I cant go back. I want to live this season of my life to the full and do things now that i just cant do when im married. I have a massive desire to be married and have a family of my own but right now, im a single 21 year old who is just flowing with the spirit.
Im in Orange this year! I dont know how much longer ill be here than this year but im excited. I love it here so much, i actually never want to leave. I miss my family so incredibly much, and all of my friends from the various places that ive lived but this is where God has me and i couldnt be more content. I love Jesus and i trust the plans that he has for me.
I dont care if at the end of the year, one person was impacted. It would be worth it. If i get to bring one person even just closer to knowing God, it would be worth it. Im hoping to go back to Africa this year but we will see where that leads. I love Africa and i miss it every day im away from it.
I came into this year with torn ligaments and on crutches and im not at all discouraged! That actually showed me that this year is going to be huge! Its going to be a year of tearing down the kingdom of darkness! Its going to be a year of people drawing closer to Jesus! He came to bring life to the full! How exciting! I love that satan hates me, it means im doing something right!
So 2011 is going to be a full on year and im ready for it! I feel like God has been training me for 6 years and this is the year hes been training me for. Im so excited! Bring it on (:
