the week that was

Gosh this week feel like it has been an emotinal rollercoaster. It started with my Nana having major heart surgery on Monday morning. Praise God that less than week later she is doing amazingly well. Various other stuff has gone on through out the week.

I am not doing so well with this whole lent thing! I think I will start again next week. I figure God is all about Grace and second chances!

Investigated joining the gym but have decided that it is too many pennies and I need to find cheaper exercise options!

I must get fit and loose weight, so many weddings, so little time!!

migraines 2008

Today and Monday I was off work having woken very early both mornings with a migraine. Not fun I have to say. Today I thought I was feeling better, went for a walk around the block and when I came back had to go back to bed for an hour! It's rubbish, I can feel all the tension in my neck so am trying to chill out. This is made harder by lots of stuff going on!
Boy am I glad it's the weekend and that Pete is home after a week away at college! Missed him lots this time, despite being quite used to him going away these days!

my new friends!

Sadly Pete has left me for a week of college in Derbyshire from today.
Thankfully though, I have discovered on our BT box The Hills season 2 for free! Hooray! So now I am hanging out with Lauren & Heidi!!!
Also hanging out with my secret crush Jason Donavan and his autobigraphy!
I think Pete needs to head back soon!!!

wedding stationary

Have spent the last few days being a bit crafty! It's been a while but I had fun. I was making some prototype wedding invitations for my Brother and his fiance. They may not like them, but I have definately enjoyed myself.
Have also tried to crochet but as of yet am a bit rubbish! Am thinking I must try harder, however it is in my nature to give up if I can't do things really well, straight away!! Hense still not really playing/practising my guitar, despite it's beautiful pinkness!

Am really looking forward to my day off tomorrow! Hooray!

walking through the bible

Last night we took our youth group through a whistle stop tour of the Old Testament, with a little help from the Lego Bible and Issy (Former Theology student!).
It was great, going through the timeline and discussing where we think people's relationship with God was at varying points in the journey. It was a really great time of learning for all of us, young and not so old!
Taking a moment to remember God's promises to his people was helpful, especially as thus far January has lived up to the impending sense of doom I felt about it on New Years Eve.

As the big man said to Josh, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Words I am holding onto this year.

NEW YEAR/NEW TEMPLATE

I am going to try and keep the old blog up to date from now on!
I confess that I have become Facebook obsessed, but I am not sure how healthy it is.
So onwards and upwards into a year of possibilities!
