To be Blind...

Hey! Long time no see. What have I been upto? I number of things... Really I can't think of a way to begin, so I think I'll just randomly think of things and events to say. As ya'll prolly know, Adrenalin was on on Friday and Saturday night. Was a really good concert. Not a bad turn out. Dave Reardon said that the turn out was better the night before, but it was still good that nigt. Guy Sabastian performed really well and so did the Nubian Jets. The Youth Alive band is always good. Had great music and a great word. Sanga preached... he always seems to stir the crowd and lead them into hysterics. I was looking over at my cous Jay a lot, he was cracking up all the time! He loved it! I did too... Sometimes its just great to be in the crowd and recieve the spirit. Leading worship is great on Sunday mornings, but sometimes its good to have a rest and just praise God from a different angle. No ones looking at you - its just you and God. Oh and Emma got saved! So good! Had been waiting for that to happen. We had a good number of Frequency ppl there, which was good too.
I spent nearly the whole day in Perth today. Had that Northbridge assessment thing again. This time I took portrait pictures of random ppl and asked them questions. Like 'Where were you born?', 'What do you do for a living?' and 'If there was one thing you would change in the world, what would it be?'. That last question really got people thinking. Got some good answers and some really stupid and extremely selfish answers too. Some were "Make alcohol free!" and "Lower the drinking age"... Over my dead body are they gonna lower the age! Theres all ready too many teen deaths out there... Don't wanna add any more to the toll!
After taking pics with my group I seperated from them and walked around by myself taking photos, and then ended up getting together with another group of friends. We made our way through the city and had turns pretending to be blind. One of my friends is partially blind and carries one of those sticks with her. She once had totally fine health, and then one day her body just went totally wrong. Her nerve were eating the myelin sheath around it which caused her body to go haywire. She had to re-learn how to lift up her head, feed herself, walk... You name. That girl has been through a lot. And that only happened over a year ago. She has come a looooong way. Shes so cool. Anyways, we had an experience of being blind. We put on sunnies and walked with the stick. I tell you what, people really get out of your way! And you get some really wierd looks as if your an alien or something. People really don't know what to do around you. I've got a pic of my friends doing this. It was really funny, but kinda sad at the same time. I mean, it would be aweful to be blind. But you know what was wierd? I saw so many people that I know while I was acting blind. I didn't know whether to say hi or not... Cos I didn't know how they'd react to me doing that.
After having lunch with my friends, which was around 3:00, I left and went back to uni to finish an assessment. But I realised whilst walking back to my car to get to uni that I'd left a disc that I needed at home... So I had to go all the way back home and then all the way to Mount Lawley. That took ages aye. I'm glad to say that I got the assessment done. I got home round 5:30 and had dinner, then got ready for Cell Group. After summing it all up, I think I had a pretty good day. Was really interesting. I really had to pluck up the courage to talk to people... It wasn't easy. I got rejected a lot. But thats ok... Not everyone likes having their photo taken.
