Hey guys, i'm super sorry, life is crazy busy at the moment but heres whats going on.
So in the holidays i came down to wellington and it was aweesome to see everyone again, i loved it !!
I was crazy busy and honestly got 24 hours sleep over the week i was there which was bad as, but it was super fun. i can't wait till next time! it was hard to say goodbye/see you soon again as i had this peace that i had while i was there which i dont really have while im here!! But its starting to get way better so thats awesome!
When i came back up it was hard for a bit because i was away from everyone again, but it has gotten better so thats good.
Esther came up and stayed last week and it was nice to see her and hang with her and hang with someone familiar if you get what i mean?!!
We had some good discussions at midnight and her gig was amazing! just as she is! love ya big sis.
I'm getting pumped for the house competiton this term which is mockrock and its where you put a whole lot of songs together and make up a dance routine and lipsinging stuff and get your house involved, hard to explian but its gonna be mint as!!!! look it up on youtube, lots of unis and schools in america do it and theres are coool as!
i have school camp this week which will be really nice!!
yeah so thats me, please pray things are very stressful and especially for the trip away mainly for our safety because i go to the school where the 7 people lost their lives at opc and its the first camp since then so im a bit worried but it should be okay.
thanks guys
love you all :)

wooohooo :)
firstly i apologize i've been really slack with this but i've decided to start writing more hehe:).
so today is the 6th of march if i am correct.. the past two weeks have been CRAZY!
so last week i had schoool wooo , and i absouletly love it. school is the best thing up here, like honestly. people aren't afraid to lift there hands in assembly and worship God or anything, people justdo it freely and it's so cool to see people not being ashamed and lifting the name of Jesus so high.
I've decided this year i'm gonna give God my all , and open up every part of my life to him, so there's no looking back from this day foward. i will praise and worship the name of Jesus so so so high.
This week we had athletics day on wednesday was such a fun day hanging with friends and mucking around. being house captain is way more hectic then i thought.
the girlies in my house participated well and so did the guys, i'm proud of them even tho we did come last. lol. but there's always time for improvement. it was cool getting to know some of the girls better and sit down and have good talks to them as well as trying to get the house rounded up and participate in events myself.
i've made some really close friendships that i wouldn't change for the world and i've been hanging with friends after school and in the weekends which is also awesome as !
i also want to say Brittany and Tamzin are the nicest people ever , they got me a sim card so i could text them and stuff then my cousin gave me phone.. it was an awwww moment! you girls are amazing :) wooo
i've also met two very special girlies this week my friends Cassy and Hannah they are honestly amazing, they both are so super sweet and i love just seeing and getting to hang with there beautiful selfs. i just wanna tell you girls that you are amazing and beautiful :) glad i met you!!
My Family and I have decided to go to Life church on sunday night so that's cool, and i have some friends from school that go there :). i will be going to elim youth tho which is called oxygen :).
everything is going pretty well, but i do miss you all terribly, when ever i thik about you i burst into tears, there's been times and school where i've had a bit of a wee cry but with friends help i've been boosted back up again :).
so i just wanna tell y'all that i miss you and love you more then word's can describe.
you are all amazing and "God will never ever put you through something he doesn't think you can not handle" thanks Hannah ! hehe.
so love you

its really nice to have my own space and stuff. i also am very satisfied with were we are because school is a 15 min walk away, mcdoland's and the mall is 2 mins away and my friends live close woooo :).

i'm getting to the stage where i'm finding it quite hard thooo, i'm missing seeing everyone so its starting to really hit me that i wont be able to hit me and im stating to get worried about loosing contact with people which i definately dont want to dooo. so if i dont text you for a while text or fb me would be cool to have a chat and i can call yoou now sooo woooohoooo :)

it's auckland it's auckland time
so i arrived in auckland on the first of feb. the day that prachute ended.
ahh parachute how i miss you !
parachute this year was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! i have to say fav bands were Esther Melody band, rapture ruckus. parachute band especially SAM DE JONG . and hillsong united .
it was cool spending one last weekend with everyone , had so much fun hanging with Hippo . your awesome girl . thanks for always being there for me when i was upset and had dramas. well good times girlfriend bahahahah !!
i miss y'all so much haha !!
we are staying with family friends and its so awesome aye . they have a pool and spa so im loving it !! wooop woooop ! we just lookign for a house atm so please pray that we find one soon !!
i am also church hunting hehe ! not to sure where i will serve so yeah !
first day of school tomorrow which is a leadership day . i'm kinda nervous as i will only know two people in my year my cousin ryan and seth !
i guess this whole prcess of moving has defionately brought me closer to God and also taught me that i can rely on him and that he is faithful always and also that nothing can actually sepreate us from his love.
i guess one of the hardest things that happened is when st oran's went back today .. to think that i cant be there with my amazing friends and hang with them sucks. i realised i would have had pretty good teachers this year aswell awww boo !
i really miss everyone at oran's and i love y'all so so much !! i also think when i found out that the first elevate was on firday i was upset as i knew i wouldn't be there to serve and get more involved !!
i think this experience has definately been hard and its starting to hit me more amd more everyday as i know now that im not gonna be back in wellinton for hopefully only 2 years !
the good thing is that being in auckland has already helped me get one step closer to God, Sam De Jong but most importantly my dream job i guess which is 1. working with mercy ministries and also forming a band and record some tracks just praying that i find the right people.. may have a drummer already :)
I wrote a song for my friends so ill type down the lyrics:
VERSE 1 :
I remember, the first day, we met
we got intro, duced by our , other friends
we got talking , and we started , to laugh
i remember , that day , we became, good friends
CHORUS:
we will always be good friends
we will always be best mates
even though it'll be hard not having you by myside everyday
i just wanna let you know
that i'm here for you always
no matter what may come my way
no matter what may come your way , today
VERSE 2: (FOR FATTY , HIPPOO, ELEPHANT AND LAURA PHILLIPS)
i rememvber , our coke , and licorice
and also, our intre, tive dances
that day , that we made , fat names
fatty, hippo, elephant and mammoth
CHORUS:
we will always be good friends
we will always be best mates
even though it'll be hard not having you by myside everyday
i just wanna let you know
that i'm here for you always
no matter what may come my way
no matter what may come your way , today
BRIDGE:
even though we are apart
we are still close together at heart
we will always be there for each other
no one will break us up don't bother
so thats my song its called always there. my 4th song i've written in the middle of my 5th atm yay !
so yeaah
i love you all and im gonna cry so im gonna stop now before i burst into tears
i love you all so so so much xoxoxoox

6 more days..
so it's the 26th today, that means i have 6 more days were i can call wellington home ! yay but awww :( . oh how i love wellington its such a cool place to grow up and plently of places to hang with friends. i guess this move has been one of the hardest things i've had to deal with but i know that i'm going to come out of this even stronger then i was before, at the moment i'm working on doing more quiet times and i'm learning to depend on God more than others !
At the moment i am in the beautiful queenstown and it surely is such an amazing place, i've seen how wonderful God's creations are and woah i can't believe how amazing they are !! I'm starting to get a tan which is awesome !! so hopefulyy ill be tanned for parachute and then i'll get an even bigger tan at parachute and i'll be black for starting back at school oh yeah baby !!
I'm starting to get really excited about parachute it's gonna be the mintest but i;m also getting sad about parachute because i know at the end of a huge weekend i have to say goodbye to all of you !
for those who arent going to parachute i wanna say thanks for everything, you are all so amazing andi'll miss you like crazy but i'll still always be here if you need to talk or anything like that.. i'm just a text away ! and i'll be down hopefully like all the time ( hint hint Mum and Dad if your reading this)
i wrote a list of things that have been holding me back from God and the top of the list was i guess the fear of the unknown , i don't know what my friends, school, church, auckland or anything is gonna be like at all.. but i know that everything is gonna be okay because God has amazing plans for me which is so cool and he is always with me wherever i go !!
i also made a list of what i'm gonna miss and of course friends, church, school, elevate, my childhood, queensgate are all on there with plently more to fill up a page but then i decided rather then dwelling on the negatives i'll write down some things that i'm looking foward too... a few on that list was.. a new start, new friends, church, school, a place where i can shine for God and also get ivolved hard out in a church i.e worship team and leadership !!
i've found this real hard but thanks to some help/advice from a few people i'm feeling so good, on top of the world i could say and it's all Jesus ! he is the best, i saw this cool thing on a window in queenstown and it said "when i first opened my eyes i did not know you were gonna be my Saviour" i was like woooooowww !
well i probably should head off.. don't wanna write too much haha, keep praying for me please and i'll see you all at parachutee.
i loveee you all

Well..
So today is Thursday , but its not like any other thursday. today we have the movers coming into to put all our stuff in storage. Movers came yesterday aswell to box everything, it was quite scary walking into my room and seeing that all my stuff except my bed was boxed up. it was hard to sit in the house and think about where we will be in a month. on saturday we are going on holiday to queenstown which should be exciting ! and then i am coming to parachute ( Sanks Mummy Dearest ) i'm so excited to be able to see everyone there, the sad thing is that i have to say all my goodbyes at parachute so expecct a few tears haha (: .
So i'm sitting on facebook and msn and on the computer for the last time in this house, this house has many good memories, interpretive dances with Laura Phillips, my 13th birthday partay, sleepovers with the ABLAZE girls, hang outs with Fatty Ward and other peeps and also being able to freely sit on fb all day ! this is home for me ... but at some point in our lives we are going to go trhough something challenging and this is definately one of those stages. the verse that comes to mind is my fav verse of all time Jeremiah 29vs11 "For i know the plans i have for you, Declares the Lord, they are plans to prosper not to harm you, they will give you hope and a good future" i totally believe that Gods plans are AMAZING because he himslef is totally and utterly AMAZING!! I've had many times lately when i've thought this would be too hard but with the help from some friends and family and especially GOD i have felt so much better about everything.
I'm over the point of being worried so now im mainly excited about the move, new start, new season, brand new day! i have some videos that i will upload that are dedicated to some special people in my life ! si they should be up when i get to aucks after parachute !! i just wanna thank you all for your prayers, your support and for just being the most AMAZING friends i could ever ask for, i mean i am so blesed to have you in my life.... I will never forget wellington and i will never forget YOU ! i'll be on facebook/msn/skype everynight, so flick me a text and we can organise something. oh andif any of you are planning on coming up to aucks let me know because we will have pleanty of room in our new house or if you just wanna catch up im totally keeen to do that.. anyways on other notes, i got my hair cut and dyed so thats exciting :) im actually so so glad i did. i've been hanging with FATTY WARD heaps lately and its soo cool ! i love you too pieces fatty.

Sat 15th - WOW
this past week has been pretty hectic ! trying to sort our farewells, letters, presents ya know the lot.
i had my farewell last night and it was very emotional. pretty casual night i guess haha , had music playing, dancing, sitting and hanging ! that was defs fun !
speeches came along and i said mine, i could hold in the tears and there was so much more i could say but i just couldn't.! Grace McLean got up and did a speech and what she said was so sweeet i started crying ! and then she prepared a slideshow of photos to show of me and some goodtimes! so i just wanna say thank you Grace for all your hard work you put into it it was so awesome what you did for me ! your actually soo soo swweeet and i will miss you hard-core .
then Fatty Ward, Hippo and Phillips got up to do a speech and as soon as Fatty said i love you rach we both burst into tears . i felt so loved after last night all the people who said speeches are awesome. i've never realised how much God has used me throughout the past year and its awesome to see that God's love has been shown through me !
Last night i had to say goodbye to 2 of my best friends and that was the hardest thing ever. i didnt get a chance to tell them how much they meaned to me. so here it goes.
Cate you are awesome girl . we've been good friends ever since year 7. i know we've had our ups and downs but we always sort them out! good times we've had from food tech were we got told off lots to economics to market daY ! oooh and also those good old dances ! so girl i wanna tell you that your awesome and no matter how far away we are we will always be good friends.
Laura Phillips i.e. Phillips = you are an awesome girl . broo we've been friends for ages ever since we were 3. over the past few months we have started to become best friends and thats been awesome. i don't know what i would have done without you girl. we've had many ups and downs, many but we always become stronger friends after them. i wanna tell you that im always here for you babe, what ever is going on, text me and i'll call and we can skype. i love you so much and also God is also always here for you . read that poem i gave you and i will drop something at your house for your parents to give you sometime this week xo.
At the moment i'm feeling pretty sad last night was so sad and its hard to think that i will not be going to school , church , elevate and everything else with them.
i love you all so so so much and i can't believe that i have to go
welll i can't write anymore otherwise i will start ballin my eyes out !

11 Jan 2010.. Moving ...
this is my blog, i will be writing 1 or 2 times a week on so you can see what im up to and how i'm feeling :) .
So i have 11 more days left in Wellington. That is CRAAZY !
I am attending ELIM christian college this year and will be year 12.. I'm excited about that so thats good, they do praise and worship and have preachers 3 times a week. which i am excited about. they also do christian living i think everyday :) so that will be fun as my faith is my whole life !! the first thing i'll sign up for is the worship teaam :) yay yay yay !!
We are going to be staying with family friends for awhile until we find a house to rent . cant wait ofr that. i keep telling Mum that i get the ensuite and walk in wardrobe , she thinks im jokin.. im not !! i will also be trying out 2 churches to see what one God wants me to serve in they are ELIM and Life Church.
I'm kinda excited about a new adventure but also extremely nervous!
If you wanna get in contact with me .. i'll be on facebook everynight.. i also have a cell phone so you can text me and i have skype.. look me up its "Rachel Aickin" l
i found out that we were defs moving about a month ago now.. i remember when i found out that was horrible .
The last day at school was the hardest, i love my grooup they are honestly the most amazing people ever, if im sad they know how to cheer me up. if I say something blonde they know how to explain things to me haha. i've never felt so happy, they are actually the best friends ever and i dont think i could ever find anyone like those girls. i can be totally myself around them. yes that means singing as loud as possible, dog piles and the weirdest convo's. haha (: i love you girlies so much , you are all amazing and i'll miss you heaps. keep inviting and be welcoming into new girls that start sitting with you just as you were with me.!!
i think about everything i'm leaving behind e.g. church , friends, family, my inspirations, my besties... this i guess makes me sad that i have to go.
I think this is the time when i need to press into my faith alot more. ive found out that a few people i know are moving to auckland too which is exciting . things seem to be falling into place very well and most of my family is up there . I'm excited about seeing them alot more.
I guess the verse that has been on my mind is Joshua 1 vs 9 "Don't be discouraged or afraid, i have commanded you to be strong and courageous for I the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" I believ this fully.
Anyways i will write soon (:
Love
