In which I tell the story of my accident.........

Hello everyone. How are you all? I'm pretty well besides living on the lounge most of the time. :)
You may ask why I am spending most of my time on the lounge. Truthfully, I wish I wasn't. But I suppose I'd better start from the beginning:


I've been lounge-bound since Sunday of last week. This was because I had a panic attack on the way to mass and jumped out of the car. Thankfully the car had only just started up again, and even though my foot went under one of the wheels, I am pretty okay. Even so, that Sunday was really, really, difficult. I felt emotionally shattered. I had grazes on my upper legs, knees, feet, one on my side and two on my lower back. Goody. NOT!!!!
 The pain for the first few days was quite a lot. Today I"m feeling much better. I'm just annoyed that I can't go around doing stuff, like I normally do.
On Monday I went to see the Doctor and he said that everything should be fine, beyond some bruising and a bit of pain. The nurses bandaged me up and we went home.

 On Tuesday I went to see our family Doctor and she said that I would need to get X-rays just to be sure. So that meant having to go to another place, wait around for half and hour or so, and then get x-rays which were extremely uncomfortable because I needed to move this way, or that, and my knees were quite sore still, even though they were bandaged. Anyway, after that Mum and I went home.
By Thursday which was when I was going to see our family doctor again, I was actually walking around the house doing stuff, although I still was getting tired more easily. But guess what!!! The Doctor told Mum that the x-rays hadn't been clear on my left foot, and they weren't sure if I had a broken bone in my foot! I know it wasn't the Doctor's fault but it was still irritating. :( Which meant that I needed to have crutches until I could go for a CT scan. Which is today. I"m hoping that there is no broken bone.

 I've been on the lounge most of the time since Sunday of last week and I've gotta say, that it is losing it's charm. I've done quite a bit of reading, but just sitting and reading all day has gotten rather dull. I know, that sounds so weird! Me, being bored of reading?! Never! It's more the inability to do anything else. So yeah. There was one book that I started on Friday and finished on Saturday, which I was very proud of.

 It was called the Crystal Snowstorm and it is one of a series! :D I really enjoyed it! And then Anna-Lisa  and Balian came over on Saturday night and I got to hold Balian for a bit, even though he was crying, and that was nice. She also brought chocolate, which is always a plus. :) And we watched the Maze Runner which was really good, if somewhat confusing. Hopefully I'll be able to write about it in a few days. :)

So to end this post: Being lounge-bound is irritating but it does have it's perks. My CT scan is this afternoon and I"m really worried that I'll have a broken bone. I'd really appreciate any prayers that it is not so. Because I just don't want to spend anymore time on a lounge then I need to. And I'm also seeing a nurse this afternoon to look at my grazes. I'm not really worried about that as Mum knows what she's doing when it comes to that. She really is a great Doctor.

Jesus I trust in you. 

So yeah, if you guys could pray for me, and for a good outcome, that would be awesome. :) I'm also sorry if this post rambles a bit but I'm sort of just getting the facts out. :)
God Bless

Who will join me?

Who will join me in praying for Christians in the middle east? In Iraq? Because they certainly need all the prayers they can get.

If you want more information you can probably Google it. Once again this is something that is not getting on the news and it's up to us to spread the news and to pray.

Oh Lord deliver your children from harm. Watch over guide and protect them and let them get to safety! Oh Jesus protect us all! Amen.
And remember wherever you are God is watching over you!

 God Bless
 

Prayer Warriors Please!

I really need all the prayers you can possibly offer for my sister. She is making some horrible mistakes I don't know how much I can tell you. Only that I urgently need all the prayers you can give.
Our whole family is upset and just can't understand how this is happening (again).
Please, just pray!


God Bless
 

My dream came true!

Well, it seems that whatever we want, no matter how hard we want it always takes time. Time, which I myself, hate waiting for. I'm not one who likes to wait, so how long has it been since the eldest of my siblings could have gotten married? About six-seven years actually, so yeah. You'd think if you didn't know me, that I'm some old person who is using a walking stick to get around, the way I'm writing this post, so I'd just better go on and tell you: (Caps lock on. :) )














BRAEDON AND ANNA-LISA ARE EXPECTING A BABY! WOOT!!

So finally I'm going to be an Aunty! And I can't wait! The baby is due about October 17th, ten days before Braedon's birthday.
And so the wait begins, and no, I have no idea if it's a girl or a boy, but that's fine as long as I finally get my wish! Please, if you could offer up a prayer for a safe pregnancy and delivery, that'd be awesome, adn please, just keep Anna-Lisa, Braedon and their precious baby in your prayers.
Ciao!

God Bless

Answering a question......

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't posted, first off I hope everyone had a happy and holy Christmas! 

I stole this picture from Una Mariah's blog. Petticoats and Muckboots. Only a few more days till season 3!

The reason for not posting? Well, first being really busy, then catching a stomach bug on the day before Christmas Eve (no pressure of course. :P ) and then recovering, going to midnight Latin Mass which, though I am sure was very beautiful I was pretty tired off after a while not to mention though there were fans on I was hot and very tired as I hadn't got hardly any sleep before we had to get ready. Then after we got home, we had our Christmas photo, I was a bit grouchy and still feeling really tired and still recovering from the bug. We had our Midnight feast, put our bags out and then I tried to get to sleep. At 3 o'clock in the morning, and I didn't sleep well. After being sick I confess the only reason I haven't blogged is because I've been enjoying being lazy, and slowing down. But I DID see the Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug yesterday and I WILL be working on a post about what I thought of it. Suffice to say for the moment I am proud of my title of 'Vellvin da Elven' after seeing it. I feel so cool. :D


NOTE: I would not recommend people under the age of fifteen reading this unless it had been pre-read by someone who you trust (like a parent) for instance. I just like to add this to any post which deals with any of these issues as it's better safe than sorry. And I do not mean to offend anyone, if you don't want to read it, then don't. But it is my site, and it is my right, too. 

On to the meat of the matter. I had this huge (and I mean huge) blog post and it was suppose to be a broken up into sections. Abortion, Homosexuality, Euthanasia, Contraception, Un-married couples living with each other and possibly divorce. But I have decided instead that I wanted to post one of the sections that I have completed. That being the Homosexuality section. 

Now, do you all remember my blog post on going to the walk for True Marriage? Well, I got this really weird comment from an anonymous person called 'D' great name by the way. :P And this is what it said:

Hey there. I'm a 14-year-old girl who just came across your blog. I'm also openly gay, and reading this post made me interested in hearing just why you hold these views about me and my people. Keep in mind that I'm not trying to be confrontational at all, I just really want to have a conversation with someone who thinks like you do. Have you ever thought about *why* gay people are supposedly wrong? Like, what is it about loving the same gender that is so horrible and disgusting? You say that you're against same-gender marriage. Do you think a gay person like me should just never find commitment, or do you just think we should never find love at all? I'm also interested in hearing what you would do if a close friend or relative of yours came out as gay, bi or transgender. Would you reject them, or...? It just honestly confuses me how someone my own age, or really, anyone, could hold these views. I don't think anyone is naturally inclined to despise gay people, I believe homophobia is a 

That's what it said and I was very ready to write an answer back but instead I've added it into this blog post seeing as this is what I am writing about. Also, this was from an anonymous commenter whom I'd never heard of before, who knew nothing about me, and wasn't even necessarily a fourteen-year-old girl, and if so, it looks like she's been brainwashed. And maybe, if 'D' is reading this, she may get an insight of why it is wrong, and what it is that such ludicrous ideas do to people. 





Homosexuality. Okay, so a few years back, I found out that people of the same gender thought they could marry each other! I didn't think that much of the matter until probably this year, where this thing, that people like to call 'gay marriage' even though it is clearly not marriage and its proper disgusting-throwing-up-worthy-term is actually Homosexuality. Yep, that's its actual term, and don't sugar-coat its name, because its not marriage. Marriage is between a Man and a Woman. You can be best friends with another girl or guy, you can still be friends with people of the same gender. You can still love them with a brotherly or sisterly love. But you cannot MARRY THEM!!! Or think you can! You cannot have the same love as a husband and wife share.

St. Joseph. 

 See this guy here. His name is St. Joseph. He was the foster father of Jesus, and head of the Holy Family. He is also patron of families. And you know what. Homosexuality is like, the destroyer of families. It's wrong, its immoral, and its just plain stupid. What morons people are if they think that they can do something like that! And no, its not a trend, so don't go saying 'it's the latest trend' either. And don't refer to honest-to-goodness-marriage as 'traditional marriage' either, as that makes you sound like you think that Homosexuality IS marriage, whereas it is not. Marriage is between a Man and a Woman. And that ain't ever gonna change. I was thinking the other day about The Princess Bride and about the old King who says 'won't that be nice' when Buttercup kisses him and then tells him how she is going to kill herself. WE CAN'T ACT LIKE THAT! We can't be all 'Oh it'll be alright, it's their life after all.' Because these are like the sheep without a shepherd. We can't be indifferent, we can't just stand by and let things like that happen! Because then we are no better than they are. We are accepting that it is okay, then. Because we have not stood up and told the world what we think. Okay, world, so wanna tell you something

True story. You will never ever change this! 

And it's the truth.
The people I know, I see the great examples and the example that my Mother and Father have given me all the days of my life, a true marriage is one where you help each other, give counsel to each other, and love each other. It's not perfect, (most certainly not) but it IS marriage. And funny story, that's because their is a father and a mother. :)

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oy! Oy! Oy! 

My Mum and Dad have been married for more than twenty-five years (awesome right? :) ) and Mum wrote a blog post on it as well if you are interested. http://cherishedheartsathome.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/what-is-marriage.html And that's what marriage is. And also, if you have parent number one and parent number two not a Mum and a Dad, how can you create new life? The answer is, you can't. And then having children which is one of the things that a husband and wife have to be opened to before they are married when they are preparing marriage is that this is one of the most important rules of marriage. Openness to children. It is actually a requirement and if you say no (at least in the Catholic Church) you can't get married and it's not marriage then. So, therefore, don't go calling it 'gay marriage' because it lacks the depth, the truth, and the meaning of what real marriage is.  Also you can't create a human life. And if you adopt a child, what if it is a boy and he has two Mums how he is suppose to learn how to be a man? He can't that's the answer, and vice versa, this affect CHILDREN more than anything else, this selfish, stupid, immoral idea. So stop being selfish, think about what if it was you, and please, realise that it is wrong.




Ever time I listen to this song, I cry. This is what TRUE COMMITMENT IS!
So who's in for telling the world what we think? Because every little bit helps, prayer the most out of anything, though we might not see that as doing very much.

St. Joseph patron of families, protector of the Church, Pray for us! Lord Jesus, watch over us, help us to be peacemakers, and to love our neighbours always. No matter what they believe! 

God Bless
 

I went to a walk for True Marriage!

So last week I went to a Walk for True Marriage. And it was amazing! I felt so glad inside, so pleased that I was actually doing something other than talking about how marriage is between a man and a woman. Anyway, I should probably start from the beginning.
I had been rather worried that we wouldn't get to the walk because Mum and Dad have been away since Thursday afternoon through to late tonight. They went down to Kynan's Graduation (congrats bro!) and are now driving up to Sydney to pick up Autumn. Braedon and Anna-Lisa have been staying and looking after us, and so I wasn't sure that we would be going. I am so glad I was wrong. We got there in plenty of time and it was amazing like I said. There were so many people there! Some who I knew, some who I didn't. But that didn't matter, because we all had the same intent, to walk down main street, carrying signs and showing the world that, no matter what, marriage is between one man and one woman, and always will be. Boys had been asked to wear blue, and girls pink, so obviously I was wearing pink. :)

Before we left to Fr. Brad said a few things and reminded us that we are on a peaceful walk and that if anyone shouted at us or had a sign the opposite of ours, to return their abuse with a smile. :) We also had sung the words 'We are walking for True Marriage' to the tune of 'We have decided to follow Jesus.' A lot of us got given signs, I wanted one. :) And I got one. Mine said 'Children's Rights Come First'. And I carried it proudly.
Now, we started off at Bolton Park, walked up the street to past a man who was holding up a sign the opposite of ours. I can't really remember what it said but yeah, we kept on walking and kept on singing. We turned right and then started down main street, crossing the road and singing all the time. I'll tell you, by the time we got to the Victory Gardens, which were down the other end of Main Street, and our destination, my throat was extremely parched from continuous singing. We continued down main street, we passed both of the big malls. People looked at us. Some took photos and some were filming us. There was one woman who shouted something at us, but we ignored her. A lot of people noticed us especially at the malls, which were both on the same side, and only about a block from each other. The feeling of people watching us made me feel great. People were noticing! Perhaps they were reconsidering what they thought was marriage, perhaps they were getting a wake-up call. After all, that was partly why we were marching. There was another group of people who were dressed all in black and had another sign, they actually followed us all the way to the park and sat through one of the speeches.

We got to the park, had a barbecue lunch and sat to listen to some people who were going to do some talking on marriage. Did I mention that we were sitting out in the hot sun? Fun, fun.
Anyway, the speeches were very good, one of them was done by the Bishop. And I suppose I shall end this post, as I am getting rather tired of it, and say.

Marriage is between One Man and One Woman. Always and forever.



God Bless

I thought it would be different...

Well not 'my' baby.

I thought it would be different. Yes, I did. I didn't expect that after going with Mum to the ultrasound that I would find out something which would make me cry harder and for more reason than I had in a very long time.

I now have two siblings in heaven. My Mum now has had two miscarriages, one being twenty-one years ago, and one this very month. R.I.P. my littler brother or sister who I never got to meet, I miss you though I never got to see your smiling face, or hear your sweet baby coos. I hope you are enjoying heaven, being with Jesus. And I'll miss you, ever day. You were going to be our sweet baby to cuddle and love and protect from all that is wrong with this world. I remember saying 'Good Morning' to you while you were in Mummy's tummy.

I cried while coming home. I missed you. I love you. I am crying now, thinking of you.
And I find it hard. So very hard. We had been praying and hoping for so long. For you, the precious blessing that God gave us for only a little while. But in that while, we came to love and know you.
I wasn't going to be the eldest sibling to six siblings but to seven. I was hoping to be your Godmother. I was so very excited.
I hope you and the other baby who went to heaven (I think he was a brother and his name was Gideon), that you'll pray for the rest of us, here on earth. That we get to heaven. I want us all to be together, in eternal happiness, us together. Our entire family.
I love and you miss you, sweet baby. One day I'll meet you in heaven, though it won't be the same. At least I know that one day I'll be able to find you.
Vellvin Faine Catherine Agnes Onions. Big sister to seven. One in heaven. Younger sister to six. One in heaven. Godmother to one.

Our dear little blessing has gone to be with Jesus in heaven. We found out today as Mum went for an ultrasound and I went with Mum. I find it hard to understand why God even gave us this little blessing and then took the baby to him in heaven. I know there is a reason, and that it is for the best, but I still wish I'd had the baby to cuddle and to love. If I could just as you all to prayer for us. Especially Mummy, she was very, very, upset and it is not often that she cries, either. But she did today.

God Bless

This and That

So as you know Mum has not been well these past few days. Friday saw her and Dad going to the Doctor's for her to have a check-up as she was experiencing stomach pains and other symptoms which were very worrying. Please if you have not already done so, offer up as prayer for her and the new baby. We are all so very worried and anxious. We have been praying but being patient is hard. And if you have already said a prayer, then please, continue to do so.

I have been reading the 'River of Time series' which I highly recommend. Like seriously, these books are amazing. I've got a blog post in my drafts for when I finish Torrent and Bourne and Tributary. And seriously Marcello looks kind of like a goof if that is him on the front of Torrent. Tributary on the other hand. *sighs* seriously

Luca Forelli just looks awesome. :) I actually think this is one book series where I actually like the main guy more than the secondary guys. Surprise, surprise! I was expecting to like Luca the most but as it turned out Marcello comes first. Also Rodolfo Greco is such a complicated character and yes, I think he is great as well. And poor Fortion and I hate the Rossis. Anyway, if you haven't read these books, then you really, really need to!

It's six days until my birthday and I am getting very excited! Six more days and tomorrow five then, yeah you get the idea. It is getting really annoying with everyone posting Thor: The Dark World blog posts as I'm not looking at them as I haven't seen it yet. Hopefully on my birthday that will change. :)

Saw this yesterday. I love it. :D

I am very, very excited for Sherlock season 3! So long to wait, and the after three episodes we'll have to wait some more. :P Such is life. Arda sent me these two pictures which I pretty much burst out laughing

There are so many funny Sherlock/Hobbit crossovers. :D And this one:

Hellooooooo, have a look around. :P

So yeah, I'd better go. Please, if you could all just continue to pray for Mum and the baby, that would be awesome. :)



God Bless

 

Asking for Prayers...

Hey Guys, this is just a quick post and it seems like I've been doing them a lot of them lately.
Anyway, once again my family and I have got a challenge from God. It is not a very easy one, it's in fact a

Padre Pio was a very inspiring Saint. :) 

heartbreaking one for every one of us. I don't know if I am allowed to say, or if this should be more private. But I ask you all to please pray for us, that everything might be all right and that God watches over and protects us. And that we might be able to do whatever we may need to do, to fix this problem.
Please Pray!

God Bless
 

I wanna tell you a story....

Today I want to tell you a story. It's a simple story to outsiders but to people who actually were there when it was happening, it's not. It's a very complicated story. And it begins in the year 2010.
Once there was a girl who met a boy at his family's house in Tasmania. The girl had come there because her father was going to be a sponsor to one of this boy's sisters  for her confirmation.

They struck up a friendship there and then. They even dressed up as gangsters and took photos together which were very funny.

The girl only stayed for a short while though and then went back home. But the friendship didn't end. Countless Facebook messages were sent getting to know each other even more. They became best friends. The girl tried to visit as much as she could and she was always welcomed. The boy even went to visit her on some occasions as well such as her birthday and she celebrated her sixteenth birthday with this boy and his family. He wrote her a song for her birthday and sang it to her on that day as well.

They changed their status's on Facebook to 'in a relationship'. They had passed the barrier from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend.

They had trials and tribulations but that didn't stop them, and then finally they became engaged...they were going to be married.
Today is their Wedding. Today is the day that my brother Braedon is marrying his true love, Anna-Lisa. He was the boy and she was the girl. They met when Saxon, Eden and I had our confirmations and Rogan and Moran had their first communions. I had asked Mr. S. to be my sponsor and he had brought Anna-Lisa and her younger sister and older brother down to meet all of us as well. So in a way, you could say it was all my doing that they met in July of 2012 :P But it actually wasn't; It was God's. :D
So today I am a bride's maid. Today I will probably feel a bit sad, but happy, very happy. Sad that that this chapter in life is at an end and happy for so many different reasons.
And I will pray for them, and hopefully in time, God might bless them with children, which would make me an Aunty, finally after waiting for ages!

Braedon's and Anna-Lisa's Engagement party last November. 

CONGRATULATIONS BRAEDON & ANNA-LISA!! 
God Bless,
 

Changes in Life, and feeling different because of it.

I was just thinking in bed this morning about all the changes that had happened over the last three years or so. In 20 days my brother Braedon will be marrying his true love, Anna-Lisa. In just 20 days our family is going to experience a new change. Another change also is in November I am going to turn fifteen years old. When I was eleven that was a humongous number. And yet, life has seem to be so rapid over the past few years, maybe it is because I have been experiencing what it is like to have elder brothers and a sister, leave home, to go to college or work, even if it is just for a number of hours.
It's different, it feels different!
And yet.......sometimes I don't like change, sometimes I like things just the way they are, sometimes I wish that things could just go on as they are now, forever. Wouldn't that make life so much simpler?
But then we have Gandalf's qoute,"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." You can always count on LOTR for good quotes even to use for every day life. And the part that seems most important to me, right now is,"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." So just because things are normal and ever day today, doesn't mean that it is going to be the same tomorrow, so build up relationship's that will last, and memories, which you will treasure, all your life.

And we have to remember that someday, its going to be our turn in a special way, someday, God is going to give us something which he knows is good for us, and we through all troubles, will strive for this thing, whatever it may be. Because it is our turn. And we want to leave behind us, people who care about us, who wish we didn't have to go, though they know it is best, people who wish things would just stay the same, but know that it is God's will, and God's Will is the most important thing. And they might not know it, but we certainly will, that we were like that once as well. And we will hold onto our memories until the time comes to make new ones with the same people. 

I'm happy for changes, and yet, in other ways, I'm sad, because I know that things aren't ever going to be exactly the same again. 
Maybe a LOTR picture and quote does not describe exactly what I feel, but it's good anyway. :)

God Bless

One of those days...

One of those days where everything seems to be going fine, then an event or news of some sort makes everything seem upside down and back the front.
One of those days where you feel short-tempered and annoyed, and you know it.
One of those days where you just need a hug
One of those days where you feel like to be in Heaven right this second, would be awesome
One of those days where you know God is sending you a challenge, and your job is to remain strong

Yep, today was one of those days, and if I may be so bold as to ask you all for your prayers over the next few days for my family and myself as we face the challenge that God has sent us. To remain strong and faithful and know that in the end, everything is going to be alright.

Kind of like what I feeling like, wanting to be held in my Jesus's strong, loving arms :)

P.s. sorry if this sounds really depressing, its just how I was feeling earlier and how I am feeliong a bit right now. And I will just repeat these words that always come to me which I sing to myself whenever some situation like this comes along, "It's gonna be alright."
God Bless
