I saw this post on Facebook by a girl who has a blog called The Full Time Girl ( http://thefulltimegirl.com/) This is what it said:

‘Our world is so messed up. The past few days you’ve seen article after article about the movie 50 Shades of Grey coming out on Valentine’s Day. I know you probably don’t want to read one more status about it, but hear me out…

We have millions of women- women!- just melting over a narcissistic sociopathic rapist, and calling it love. Sure, everyone wants to be a feminist and scream, “girl power” until it means acknowledging that chains are not the path to freedom. Even Christians are defending domestic violence masked as erotica and torture porn presented as a fairytale? What is wrong with us?

We have men now believing that this is what women want. We are teaching them to be every nightmare we’ve ever had. Men are watching women embrace the idea that they can do whatever they want to women and they will like it even when they say, “no.” But wait, no means no right?? Apparently, not any more….

What are we teaching each other about the way to treat human beings? Like they are animals. We have now crossed a line in our society that can not be erased. A dangerous line- and any woman in a society that freely accepts pedophilia, rape, and abuse as “sexy” should be scared for themselves and scared for their children.

Shame, shame, shame on us. Shame on anyone who would read those books, watch that movie, or talk about it as if it were normal. There is nothing normal about it. There is nothing sexy about it. There is nothing lovely about it. There is nothing harmless about it. It’s flat out disgusting and dangerous, and if you even begin to think otherwise, I am sad for your soul.

Jesus is the only answer. The bible holds the path to purity, and to truth, and to love, and if we don’t start speaking up, and standing out, and being a light, we will drown in the sea of sexual sickness and depravity like Lot and his entire family. Are you willing to lose everything? Go watch 50 Shades of Grey.’

And I just wanted to leave you with that, because, personally, I agree with her.
The stereo typical thing to do on Valentines Day these days is to watch 50 Shades of Grey and it honestly terrifies me. Rape is my worst fear and we are, technically, glorifying it…

I Don’t Like Halloween but Pumpkins are Cool.

Last night was Halloween. I don’t like Halloween so I went to help out at a family night at church. This left me blowing up 2 packets of balloons while one of my friends couldn’t blow them until the very end when we were nearly finished and the other is scared of them… I didn’t mind really… it felt like quite an achievement to look back at all of the balloons and thanks to a couple of little kid helpers who managed to blow them half way or less 😀 and then give me them to tie up and also with Lee-Anne’s help we achieved the whole room covered in colorful balloons look 😀 

But anyway, I found this picture on Facebook and I thought I’d share it 😉 

Pinterest Update – Travelling.

Now.. we all know I love travelling 🙂 From road trips 30 minuets away to flights across the world. Its just something that I become so excited about.. so so excited about so of course it has to be a ‘board’ on my Pinterest. Before I get into the beautiful pictures I have found, I wanted to tell you about what I have been thinking about this week. 

This week I have been thinking about my devotional life. yup. It is probably something quit normal to think about but I was thinking about it a lot this week. I like to wake up in the morning, early. Or earlier than probably most teenagers. I aim to wake up at 6am. The thing is.. that stretches to 6.30 and I get ready for 7 and read. Then I wake Rachael up at 7.30… that only gives me 30 minutes. Personally, I didn’t think that is enough time for me to spend with God in the morning. So, I was thinking about it. I want to be as excited about getting up in the morning to read and pray as much as I am for going on holiday or on a road trips. Here’s something for you to laugh at. When I was younger, I packed my suitcase 3 months before going on holidays. 😀 yes.. every time I would count exactly 3 months and start packing. Its quit funny actually. Anyway, back to the point 😉 During the week, I was watching a sermon by my friend Peta about devotional life (perfect timing eh? 😀 ) and now that I have been trying to spend more time with God, if I don’t read my bible for long enough in the morning I come home from school and drink tea and read. For example, today was great!! I came home and made tea (Oh my… I’ve been drinking Earl Grey with Honey… 😀 ) and read my bible for a while. Then, I played guitar for a while and wrote two songs. One of which isn’t even recordable yet and the other which is just recordable. Peta and I both love to play guitar and sing but we all know that I could never ever even to Peta, one of my best friends, sing that in front of her when know one else has ever heard it. Nope, just wouldn’t happen. So, trusty Whatsapp did the job and she listened to it.. I was so nervous.. I had butterfly’s 😀 (pathetic, I know) About 5 minuets later, I got a Facebook update saying that she had tagged me in a post. 
Here is what it said: “So Lisa Frantz just sent me a recording of her latest song… Seriously one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Jesus is happy. So am I 🙂 ” 

How encouraging! I’m not very confident and to get that encouragement just made my day. Seriously 🙂 I have wonderful friends. 

So, my point is, I am aiming to be as excited for devotional time as I am going on holiday 😀 
Here are the all important travelling pinterest pictures 😉 I’m of to church now 🙂
