Egypt and Reading

Its been a bit of time between my last blog!
Anyways just going to share to you what I have been doing. On 4th of July our team left to go to Egypt, there were 9 of us that went. We flew out from Christchurch to Sydney then landed in Dubai; we were there for 4 hours and then headed to Cairo in Egypt. It was so hot there, my first time in a foreign country. We had the most amazing time over there, we stayed in a five star hotel mean as pool, check out my pics on Facebook. We also took a 3 hour camel ride around the pyramids, words can’t describe how AMAZING it was, we went inside the big pyramid, crazy times.
We also went to the Cairo museum and we took a flight over to Luxor on the other side of Egypt, and that lead to us going to the Valley of the Kings. WOW that was the hottest weather I have ever felt, it was 52 degrees, more grace lord more grace lol, also we went to a couple of temples, one was the one that mosses did the snake serpent thing with his rod. The people over there are really nice but all they really want is your money haha, but they love having tourist over there. Im not going to bore you with all the details  about the trip because that would be 4-5 pages long, but that’s the gist.
The whole time I was there I didn’t feel like I was there until 2days after I got back looking at the Photos. But so good to be back HOME! I love my country more than ever and most of all I love Christchurch even with the shakes, we are a blessed Nation!!
But something that god was teaching me over there was focus!! Focus in conversations and focus in reading, my whole life I have never really read books, its not that I didn’t want to it was I didn’t know how sit down for a couple of hours and rest, my life has always been GO GO GO all the time, always doing something, so he has been teaching me to rest and take the distractions that are pulling me away from what I’m doing and learn to cancel what I’m thinking about and focus on what I’m reading, what’s crazy is that none of my teachers could teach me that not saying they can’t but it just shows me that god can do anything in your life, that to me is a miracle, I can’t put a price on that, it’s amazing to me!! He really can do anything I mean anything in your life from finance, to supplying you a house to live in and even to helping u with just being more discipline and everyday life, our father is truly  amazing!!
Also just to let ya know on what coming up for me is tha,t we are going to Europe and Israel this year and it is included in my internship but I’m paying off mine, I’m still along way to go, but I know that my dad supplies all my needs, but please just pray for me that funds will come in and anyway you can help would be a massive blessing to me this year, thanks so much for all your support! Bless family.
