Working hard?

I suppose I could blog for you guys, but life feels very very slow at the moment. The end of August and I'd usually be recovering from Ignite and starting to get back to looking like I am busy.

Not so this time... Of course I'm slowly getting busier. There are things to be done, but for now the implementation of them seems so far away that sleeping in til 10 can be done!

Sorry to all those people who are working very very hard right now, you guys are doing a great job.

One exciting thing I have done is going back to the Vauxhall Recreation Centre, two years ago I was doing exams, this year I was dancing. Ceroc to be precise! Google it! Feel free if you are a Lutonian to join the lady who took me and myself at 7.45 every tuesday! It's very fun.

So I've found a new hobby, which for now will be ok. We'll see what happens once I get into working properly.

In other news, I'm settling back in ok. Starting to find my way around and working out the best ways to do things. My lovely car has been 90% fixed, but someone drove it up a curb and broke the front bumper, so thats the next thing! I no longer get a mini shower in car when it rains outside!

I hope everyone reading this is ok, let me know either way. And if i've emailed you about coming to St Hugh's please reply, I need to have an idea of numbers.

Soul Survivor

I'm back and I'm here to stay.

Hello! I hope everything went well in my absence. I have been at Soul Survivor. Week B was amazing, lots going on. Keep praying like you believe stuff is going to happen.

God has been working in me and my new youth group. I'll let them tell the stories, they seem to be very vocal. It's all good.We'll see what happens over the next few years. I think skills need channeling and growing, my first impressions anyway.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm off to buy a map of the local area and get a doctor.

Wedding

Beautiful Selina and Steve got married on Saturday, so I've been between Sleaford and Luton all weekend.


It was a fantastic day, I enjoyed myself alot!


The service was great, and it was really good to see people I hadn't seen for a year or so. I'll be praying for these two as the go on their honeymoon and staart to look for a house.

For those of you who maybe in Luton in September, I've got a date for my welocme service at St Hugh's... please contact me if you want to come.

Beautiful Billericay

Well, I'm back in Essex now. Had a great trip home and lots of sleep.

Also managing to keep myself busy. On Sunday morning I talked to church about my Gap Year, whilst wearing a t-shirt with goingpublic on the front and my name on the back. It was great to see everyone, but also amazing to be back in one piece.

The lovely team (minus Matt) in our lovely tshirts, on the day we gave Emma (our team leader) a mousemat of us (with Matt).

Today I had a day off, but am on the hunt for bridesmaid dresses. Tomorrow I will find my self in Thorpe Park, having a day out with my lovely friends. And Wednesday I'm test driving a car for use next year (pray that I like the car, I can't afford anything else).

Its wedding season again, but only 1 for me this summer. Selina and Steve get married on Saturday and I'm very excited, not only to see them, but also to see eveyone else. It's gonna be a great day, pictures to follow.

So off to try on my outfit...

Nearly there

Well, I happen to be about 3 days away from leaving Wales. Its been a busy week. Some of our team have already gone home.

It's be a brilliant year, but I'm sure you know that already... I think I may have bored some people with how good this year has been.

I asked for a challenge and I think I got one. I'm not sure what I have learnt, and how much will stick but I know that I have learnt a lot and I hope it'll all help me when I go to Luton.

So as a last ditch attempt to hold on to the past, let me introduce my lovely youth group (on the weekend away):


And the leaders:


And me making a fool of myself:


Been a great year... Can't really make any more comments, I think I've said it all.

Presents and phonecalls

Thanks to everyone who helped me enjoy my birthday! You are all great and amazing!

Its been a bit weird being in Cardiff, away from family and most of my friends, but I've had a great time. I've got some fantastic memories to take away from this year.

Hope are all lazing in the sunshine. I'll be back in England before you know it.

Monday, monday!

I've worked hard in the last few days.

Done some stuffing, done some youth work, seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2, been to a food fair and basically laid about in the shade.

Successfully managed 3 days off in a row, due to an oversight by the Youth worker in Porth, so instead did some paid work! Hurrah for the little bit of extra money that will see me through til my first pay check!

Ladies and Gents, if you do find yourself wandering towards a cinema heading for a showing of Pirates 2, please make sure you have refreshed your memory with Pirates 1!

Who goes to watch the second out of 3 without seeing the first? And I'm definitely waiting for the box set... if 3 is longer than 2 I will not be impressed!

I'm not giving anything away, but I'll go and see it again!
