hey all, so it the last week of summer holidays, before school resumes, so what am i doing ? well im on this thing called  big week out  or also known as bwo so a group of local churchs from around differnt areas get together and the people get to do service while making friendships and having a good time.

so its my first time at bwo and its pretty good so far iv listend to some amazing sermons and met amazing people, iv had the opputunity to go to a nursing home and seee older people it was so touching, for australia day we had a family bbq which was pretty cool but today me and about 11 other young people dressed up as clowns and went down to gleng, yep thats right the bay dressed in clown stufff. I guess at first i was freaking out but it was pretty fun at first we split in groups gave out ballons ( which where prettty descent for an amuture clown may i say so myself) and lollipops. it was a prettty tiring day but overall im so glad i went on bwo iv emt some amaizng people and i definetly recommend it!!!

so changing topic i love running but not really at night but tonight i went even though i felt sick and could feel maccas in the bottom of my tummmy, i was running and started getting pain in my ribcage. i was listening to some music that i didnt know i had and it fitted in so well to how i felt. so the pain got worse i coudnt really hear myself cos of the music but i remeber like screaching softly and i started to say random stuff like how i love god and i know theres hope. so i continued on with the run after a tiring day and feeling sick and the horrible pain but suprisingly i didnt slow down and want to give up for the firts time in a while  i could feeel somthing beside me helping me move along, it gave me motivation and i finshed the run in a pretty good time 23 minutes for an uphill 4.5km run and i thought i was going to not make it.... 

that thing pushing me along was God showing me not to give up not just in the run but in things  i  do seee i have this tendensy to mabey start somthing but stop either because i feel stupid, juged or cant be botherd but i feel God was saying I'm always there just look to me i think i knew thta but didnt always look to it and use it, anyways i dont know it just encouraged me and i thought i'd share :)

so i hope everyone enjoys the rest of their holidays and just keeep going with whatever your doing :)


love eloise xo

six billion secrets

so the other day i was scrolling down faceboook and read a status about a site callled six billion secrets, so the next day i saw the status again and decided to go on the site.
for those of you who dont know about the site you can post secrets annonmosly some are about friends, thoughts, depression, cancer, family really what ever.


so anyway i started to read and scroll down the pages i was capativated, absoloutley moved to hear about whats going on in other peoples lifes, i guesss somtimes we just get to caught up in our own world to see all the grieving going on around us and to realise that yep everyone has some problem.


i sat at the screen for an hour just simply reading and crying then went out and went back to the site for about half an hour reading more and crying more it sounds redicoulous but you just cant explain the feeling you get when you read peoples thoughts and secrets.

It made me see just how many people have depression/cancer/eating disorders and how many people just cant get help or see that there loved, but many of them also had hope and that was incrediable hope after what they've been through. so thankyou to anyone who was brave enough to share somthing on that site, im heaps thankful!! but yeah to anyone reading this blog dont mind me rembaling!!

just what i may think...

well hey to all those few who actually read my blog, i havent posted in ages and decided to renevate my blog and change it completly including deleting all my previous blogs to start again.

So i've been thinking what is it your actually meant to talk about on a blog and i came up with ideas but liked none of them so i've decided to write about whats on my mind/ whats happening in my life and i hope not to ramble or bore you all to much (hopfully!!!).


So wow it's 2011 its been an interesting start to the year with the weather being winter in sumer but still were here, the floods in queensland taking homes of many i cant begin to imagine what all those familes must be going through literally having things well there lifes washed away right in front of their eyes and not being able to help prevent it in most cases, a camp i went on which went through to the new year showing God to me even more and strengthening my relationship and making many amazing friends, a 4 hour trip down to Robe with my dad tenting for 4 nights going out to dinner, swimming, walks and no robe trip can be complete without window shopping, seeing friends and sharing great times with them and i guess also seeing the begginning of a great but tough year realsing that nothing can always be good and when one door closes another door opens but somtimes we get so caught up on looking at the thing we've lost we dont realise the new opputunity....


So already this this year  it looks like i'v had some good times, some bad times, some memerable times, some enjoyable times and some lessonable times even though its only been 22 days long...


For those who know me well you would know how much i love shopping and how i havent been heaps this year but when i have i got some amaizng bargins unfortunetly my camera is stuffed and i havent set up my new one yet so i have no pictures but i will share some photos of good times and some outfits from last year. Some of these photos show my crazyness a little bit then anothers and some show some of my amazing friends im so greatful for and some show some bargin clothes or just clothes :)
