My teenage dream!

I told you a few post's back about my birthday, and how I went to Katy Perry.

Well, that post did not do it justice. I don't think anything ever will. Seriously, It was the best night of my life!

All my friends are getting kinda sick of me listening, singing and dancing to Katy Perry, but I can not get over it!
Oh my goodness!

My hands are shaking in excitement as I type these words.

I am obsessed!



Can you blame me?

She is SO amazingly stunning! Even more so in real life.

Yes, as of the 13th of May, I can officially say 'I have been in the same room as the hottest chick in the world'.



I have no idea why I have this obsession with her.. she makes me laugh and cry and feel so many different things!
God, I sound like she is my best friend... nope, just a celebrate crush ;)

Anyways, back to the concert...
She came out and I got so exited I cried! I think Sarah and Beth were a little embarrassed! LOL :)
She came rising up from the bottom of the stage in the cutest little outfit, and sang 'teenage dream'. Yes, I was living my teenage dream while she sang it! I was so overwhelmed at the fact that I was looking at the real Katy Perry! It was amazing!!

She stopped singing, and I did a love heart to her... she did one back! I was convinced it was to me, and started bawling, Sarah and Beth laughed. I am now unconvinced, as I found this picture while googling 'Katy Perry, Cali Dreams tour' and realising it wasn't from my concert...


Oh well, someday, maybe ;)


She is literally the funniest person I have ever heard!
I totally get why her and Russel Brand are together, BUT, really, she is mine!!

Before I went I heard a lot of people tell me not to expect her to be good, because she is crappy live... well, they were wrong huh?!
She sounds AMAZING!!!
Promise!



If you ever get the chance to go see her, DO IT! I will be! :)

She sang most the songs I like, which is GREAT!
And I knew every song she sang... yewwwww!
So, I could sing and dance along to them :)

She played a game with us too! She sang 4 songs that aren't hers, and who ever guessed them all right got a kiss.... JEALOUS!!!

She sang Friday by Rebecca Black (BTW how cute is Katy's new film clip FT Rebecca?! Queens of Friday!!!), Some random JAY-Z song, Only girl by Rhianna, and Whip my hair by Willow Smith... YES, I am the hair whipper of all time! She sang them in her own way, so whip my hair was sung slow... BUT, I whipped like a crazy person... everyone giggled! The poor grandma next to me got a few whips to the face too ;) hahah!
Too much fun!



She sang 'I kissed a girl' really slow at the start and rocked out near the end... It was AWESOME!
She pulled this guy up on stage and kissed him, again, JEALOUS!
I hunted Steele Harvey down on facebook as soon as I got home ;) heheh! He is quite famous now! DERRRR, he kissed Katy Perry!!



She is such a cutie! And I totally want her cute accent!!! :)
I think I'm in love? hahaha!


'Not like the movies'... CUTEST-SONG-EVER! and she performed it so well! Up on her little swing, in an adorable outfit, with lil cartoons playing in the background! So cute :)






You change your mind, like a girl changes clothes!
Well, she was deffantly trying to prove a point in this song! I think she has like 9 out fit changes in the song! They would just pull up a sheet and drop it, BAM! New outfit! She is pretty awesome like that ;)




Peacock is one of my favorite songs!
So, its not totally approprate, but it is so fun, and cheeky :) I love it!
And her singing it live!!! Oh-my-god!!!!
It was so much fun! :) I love it!
Something so innocent, but so naughty! LOVE LOVE LOVED it!





FYI, this Cali girl has got moves!!! ;)




And of course, California Girls at the California dreams tour concert!
THAT was fun!!!
Beach balls, bubbles, dancing ginger bread men, and check the cupcake dress out!
Ain't she the sweetest?! :)



And she said goodnight!

Well, there was a lot inbetween, but, its getting late and if I told you it all I might get to over exited and won't sleep! hahah!

Katy Perry, you make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream!

You da best!!! Crazy Cali Gurl! :)

Are you ready to fight?

My goal, to change the world.

For someone.

Sometime.

Making my life matter.

THAT is all that matters to me.



I will not give up.

No matter how discoraged I feel.

No matter how many people tell me one life doesn't count.

No matter how many times I hear the words "Why bother, its not your problem".

News flash.... it IS my problem! It is your problem.... WE have the power to change what we see.



You all know my heart for the orphan... My need to bring 'my little brother' home... The way my heart aches when I see these children, lonley, unloved and forgotten.
This is the reason I started 'to love the unloved'. God sent me an army to FIGHT!


My heart has opened more. Thanks to one amazing lady, God has graciously blessed me with. Kristy Edwards from World Vision. Let me tell you... this lady has a vision!!! And a heart of gold!
She is absolutly inspiring and I am very blessed to have had the honor to meet her in person on Wednesday, when she kindly spoke to the school about the 40 hour famine.

So, I know I have quite a few more readers since this time last year, so I shall explain myself ;)

The forty hour famine is where you give something up for forty hours and gather sponsers to fight world hunger. Typically, the forty hour famine is going without food, but you can go without ANYTHING! Facebook, phone, technology, furnature... anything!


East Timor....

A place so very close to Australia... Half the population children... Half those children going hungry....


Does this look ok to you?



"I would like to ask God why He allows this... but I am scared He will ask me the same question"




What if I were to tell you that you could change this?

What if I were to tell you that there was no need for CHILDREN to suffer?

Would that be enough to make you act?

What if I told you that every single child there has hope?

What if I told you that YOU are their hope?

Would that make you act?


Mothers... imagaine watching your child dying infront of your eyes because you have so little you can not provide for them...

Sisters... imagaine the feeling of holding your sibling, and feeling nothing but bones, because they have not had a meal in the past few days...

Friends... imagaine if it was someone YOU knew! Because there is someone out there who knows these feelings.

Will you act now?


I can promise you, YOU have the power. The power to change what you see.

YOU can make a differance....
all you need is faith!

To give up forty hours of something may seem like a lot, but is it really?


I don't think Abito thinks so, since he went months without food during hungry season.


Do the forty hour famine.... Sponser someone who is ( http://www.worldvision.com.au/40HF/ProfilePage.aspx?preferredurl=lakemunmorah ).... Pray for those who have stepped out in faith, because we beleive in Gods promise, we beleive in Gods strength, we beleive we can make a differance!

When is it OUR turn, God?

So, another thing I have forgotten to keep you updated on is our adoption of Max!
Did I even tell you it was my adoptive family bringing him home?!
Yes... Max is going to be Max Marks!

We have submitted the Dossier paperwork and are waiting for all that stuff to clear :)
Please pray it is a quick process, Max despratly needs us!

Latley,I have been seeing so many children have their 'gotcha days'. The day they are united with there mummy and daddy forever! No more orphange!! No more institution!!
It brings so much joy to my heart, but I want to know when its my turn!

When do Mom and Dad get to walk Max out those doors, and never look back....
When do we get to teach Max love....
When do we get to care for him....
When is it our turn, God....

Right now we play the waiting game. And boy is it hard!
To not know ANYTHING about where Max is, is so very very hard!
We have no info, no updated pictures, not a WORD on how my baby brother is doing!
And it breaks my heart.
I need to know he is ok, But I guess I just need to trust God a little more right now.

This journey has been one on faith. It has not been easy by all means. It has been harder then I ever expected. Waiting for funds... Endless paperwork... Heart longing to hold Max... it is all so hard, but that moment, when it is our turn, all this is going to be worth it.

Please, go to Debbie's blog and read our story... share our story... help compleate our story, and bring my little brother home!

Max is precious.
Max is treasured.
Max is loved.
Max is adored.
Max is admired.
Max is beautiful.
Max belongs with us!
