PROPOSAL!!!! @______@

hahaha, a stressed post; sorry guys... i know... where was i last week?!?! xD hehehe
so just to quickly fill you in on last week, i was away for 2 days.... (research project days >.>)
NEVER GONNA BE AWAY AGAIN! seriously... I copped it.
Right now i am FULLY stressing out about this proposal thing that i only found about today...
which has to be handed in tomorrow... oh my gusssss.... 500 freaky deaky words. *stabs paper*
I have started it and already have made a 165 word proposal, well thats only in my intro.. well my 'my topic' part!!! woot!  =D ha.
335 words to go..
i've basically covered my motivations on wanting to write about this topic...OH  and also wrote a quick background on my religious life.

ANYWAYS,
i will be collecting a few more stories from the internet today and then underlining the key parts and then shortening the story abit but keeping the main parts in!
( thats sounds horrible actually... "shortening the stories"... but seriously, if you saw these stories they're like novels on the internet. SO MUCH STUFF! but its worth reading =]  yeahhh, i cant keep it all!!! )

FINALISING THE QUESTION!

Mrs Naroba is a life saver.
she helped me think of a really good title for my project.

HOW A LIFE CAN BE CHANGED:
stories of changed lives.
-Stan Walker
-someone else's testimony
-someone else's testimony
-someone elses testimony

chyeaaaaaa =) ...

testimonies

hey hey hey, HALO guys (yeah, i thought of that lol)
*cough/serious face*
Today was all about looking up other people's testimonies.

JUST F.Y.I  i was suppose to type up all of my survey questions but silly silly silly silly SILLY me forgot them in the classroom. So i decided, instead of walking all those 200 steps back and wasting time there I would just start a new part of my project...
Like i have said in a few blogs before, I don't want to totally focus on Stan Walker. I want to be able to share other non-celebrity people's testimony to show that there are alot of different ways to meet God and build a relationship with him. I know through my experience, it HAS (no doubt) been a rocky journey but i do NOT regret any moment. Everything that happened to me happened for a reason. If God hadn't given me all my loving friends and family, i know it would have been more than difficult for me to be able to cope with all the grief and crap thats occured. 

OHH!!!! btw guys, look at these awesome photos i got today! =)
all you transformer fans... *puts hand up*

yeahhh, anyways...
I need to print off some more evidence.
catchya, Autobots fall out! hehehe

me and my babbles =D

dear log, hahhaha  *serious face* ok,
So on Sunday, instead of playing basketball with some of my youth friends i decided to stay in my brother's car and look over the thousands of pages i printed off a few days ago....
I couldn't believe the sort of stuff i was reading. The load of rubbish Stan had to go through as a child was just horrific. The amount of hurt he suffered everyday at school, at home and the way he took it... just makes him way more than just a  legend. He's a golden boy.                                          


The main stuff I highlighted was more revolving around his own speech on what he thinks of God and how glad he is to have found him as oppose to his actual childhood experiences.
I still don't think that my question is exactly what i want it to be (hmm?)...let me explain that again, heh... like i know i said that i wanted to focus on his childhood but i don't want my research project to be totally focused on him. I want to be able to show how others ( people who aren't celebrities) came to know God even though they've been through alot of garbage in their life.
hmm, yeah the question should be along the lines of people's Faith.
But i'm just unaware of how to put it into a question.    ???=\
I'll think about it again tonight!

later mater *thumbs up*

new folder... trying to get more organised.

Today is pretty full on. It was filled with trying to be organised, putting names on the tabs and printing off thousands of information sheets to room 8
...wish we had a printer in our room >.> anyways. haha.
here is a picture of my beautiful topic, well not really. Just a picture of the awesome guy i'm focusing on.

I've been at the computer for a very long time and still haven't really got around to highlighting everything on the sheets of paper that are of importance to my project.
...Which is probably what I should be doing now.
But I've got a little more background info from Stan on the website:
http://www.salvationarmy.org.au/warcry/default.asp?contentID=1434

this is just a little bit of what he said:
"I was brought up around a lot of drugs and alcohol. My dad was a very violent and angry man. He used to beat my mother. Home was not very secure at all. Mum did the best she could, but it was not very good. A lot of stuff was happening."

that sounds pretty interesting already. I'm excited to read more of it!

questions to ask.

Anyways,
today the class had a look at some girl's project. The information and detail that she put into her work was absolutely amazing and of course she received an A. looking at her work actually had my mind pondering on if i should change my question...
But then i wouldn't know what to focus on. Plus, i think i've got my topic half in the bag... =D
To sum up the rest of the lesson I've been basically TRYING look up some more info on Stan and all about his past experiences with his parents. I can't find much more on the subject so now I might try making up some questions to ask the people who have been on a rocky experience getting to know the LORD.
I know for sure I have been the long way, trying to get to know him. I had the advantage though; being raised in a Christian vicinity and family... but the good thing is that I wasn't forced to become a Christian, my mum was very free and okay with whatever i chose to be.
anywho...
I've printed off some information that i found ages ago.. and now i'm going to highlight the key points from the text =)

Maybe i should add questions like :
1) Where did you live when you were younger?      maybe not lol.
2) Was there anyone in your life, when you were going through a hard time that kinda helped you through your journey of self discovery?
3) If you could change anything in your past, what would that be?
4) How do you cope with non christian friends? like, do you still talk about God with them even if you know or think they'd be bored?
... maybe those can be some questions to ask.
I'll think of more for homework. coolies.
