I could leave this post blank and let you decide what should be discussed...
Or a could just chat away to you about nothing significant.
I think I may be too much of a talker to decide the first one
I did go and see my dissertation supervisor an houir ago, as planned, but she wasn't there. Thinking about going up now to check I had the right timje. If she's not there I'll email her.
Did Jesus really exist? Comments please. I have to sell Jesus to the 11-14's on Sunday. I'm gonna go and see charlie in a minute and see what he has to say.
So far the extent of the answers have been 'yes - of course' and 'no'. Two ends of the extreme. Could I get something a little more in depth?
I took some pictures of the sunset on Sunday and Monday, I'll post them soon enough!!

God's Love
Don't really have anything to say, as I am sitting in Uni thinking, why has my dissertation supervisor vanished into thin air?
She's gone, not in her office, and not replying to my emails. If i don't let this go I'll start thinking that the world hates me! I'll email her again, maybe she's teaching.
Last night was the first time in 2 years that I turned up to CU late and with nothing to do. It was great to actually learn something about God and who he is. My particular small group looked at final judgement.
We read Romans 1, 2 & 3. It was alot, but it did make me realise how childish I've been acting in the last few days. I've been getting annoyed at people for reasons that are mainly based on the way I feel, not by actually speaking to them. Another thing I need to learn about clearly, especially when God was shouting at me on the way back from Kent.
He was saying about unconditional love and how I need to love people no matter what they've done. If I have issues I need to share them with that person before I get angry, because they may have every right to have been acting in that way. Or maybe that's just something I have to adjust to as part of their personality.

Obviously he's talking about God and his unconditional love for us. I need to learn to share it!
So I did have a lot to say... hope it was helpful.

Wales again
Just a quick one before my 9 am lecture to let you know that I've been offered a job in Wales.
I can go there if I want to. I still have other things to consider, but lots of people keep mentioning the Welsh boy. Believe me, I don't know who he is, but he does sound good.
Of course I am not that fickle and would not choose a place just because of a boy (or perceived boy in this case).
I got excited when I told Selina last night, we jumped around a bit at cell because she has a job for next year too! Very happy, but the lecture is calling. I'm so dedicated!

Back to Uni
I got up really early this morning and experienced the student world waking up around me, very fun. The IT Suite is now getting louder, so it's nearly time to leave and go to Kent for a couple of days.
Yesterday was an interesting day. I had TGI's in the morning, foirst one back after easter and the start of my final term with them. I've very sad to be leaving the lovely people in the team and the young people in the group.
I get one final go at youth work with these guys at Ignite. I'm starting to get excited about that, but I have to finish my degree first!
The evening service was really good for me. I didn't actually grasp what the talk was about, but God wanted to say something different to me. I thought I was dealing with it quite well, then I talked to a couple of people and it turns out I'm still holding on to stuff.
My Dad is teaching on John 21 v 15-25 next Sunday, and it struck me how desperate God is for the Love he gives to come back to Him. He needs to hear confirmation that he is loved by Peter just as much as we do.
3 people told me that Jesus loves me and has something great planned for me yesterday, and I still don't really believe it. I need to let go and trust whats going to happen to me will be good.
That is easier said than done.

Wales
It went really well yesterday.
I had a lot to say, and so did they. The guy who interviewed me put a postive spin on everything that I did and was happy for me to use all my past experience to deal with problems. To say I had a lot on my mind was an understatement...
But the Sun shined on the whole day
It was really good to chat to some of the staff that work there, even if I did end up talking about their connections to Luton. Christian circles are very small.
I just have to wait to hear from them now. Should be by the end of this week hopefully!

Uni
I'm back in a very sunny Luton. It seemed like such a task yesterday to get everything ready, but I have worked out that I can pack just as effectively in no time at all, than taking a few days.
I'm a little bit ill right now due to not being as busy as last week and the live jab that I had on Monday. Please pray for me as I have a report due in 8 days and I'm ver scared I won't get it done.
Went to Selina's last night, having not seen her for 3 weeks. I wasn't impressed with the constant laughing at me over being ill and my attidue! But hey, I'll be able to laugh one day.
I'm glad to be back and can't wait to go to church on Sunday and see everyone.

Harrow and all things GOD
Well, I'm back from Harrow and mission.
Sitting at home hoping that I'm not ill, but the sore throat is telling me differently.
I loved the mission. We did a holiday club and various evening activities. It is great to tell people about GOD and show love through the actions.
I also participated in a small miracle. We ripped up a picture that we had drawn and put it back together. 'GOD can fix everything'. Yes he can, one boy decided to rip his A4 picture into lots of peices, saying 'its impossible to put back together'. But after about 45 mins of sitting in front of the picture, it slowly came together.
The next morning we showed him the picture, I think he was impressed. I definitely was, I forgot GOD had that much patience (and more).
So many people want to start church because their children went to this holiday club.
Very happy and very humbled by Jesus.
I also got to lead one game in the 14-18 event. It was great to hear the young people enjoying themselves. It was good to see the team get so involved with everything. Although we complained about tiredness, the Holy Spirit still worked through everyone.
I had my interview for there as well. It went well, and I would be appy to go there. I think that I have a very tough decision to make in the next few weeks. My brain hurts.
