6 Months

I dont know whether anyone will actually read this as I haven't written a post in a very long time!!!! I didn't think I was going to write anymore posts to be honest, but recently I have really wanted to start writing again. So I was reading my last few posts and its so weird how my life is just very different at the moment. Its amazing to see how God has provided, one of the things i mentioned in one of those past posts was that I was worrying about my finance well I haven't needed to worry once, which is amazing.

I cant believe how much has been going on in these last 6 months I moved out of home once again and in with two lovely ladies, I love living with Jen and Debs. Its such a different experience, firstly I have never lived with christians so to have two people there who give you such support in your faith has been such a blessing. Secondly its so nice to live with people who I have known for quite some time, which i didn't have at uni! Jeni I have known for about 8/9yrs!!!! flippin' heck thats a long time! and debs for about 3/4 yrs!

I have started a new job, Impact is brilliant! i love the training and have met some lovely people through it and have learnt sooooo much. Also i love being this involved in the church and getting to learn so much from so many people, and i am really enjoying youth leading.

I graduated! Now that was a weird experience! when i was really struggling at uni i used to imagine myself walking up on to the stage with my gown and hat on getting my degree and then looking to the people in the seats and seeing my mum and dad grinning and clapping, this image would help me not to want to give up. So to be up on that stage and in that gown was quite an experience, however not quite like the picture i thought of because i was so nervous that i walked across that stage quite fast and didn't even glimpse at the people in the seats!!! lol! but i didn't trip or fall so that was very good for me!!!!

So i think thats basically everything up to date! will write in a couple of weeks when i get back from centre parc's!!!!!!!!

Desmond!

So I now officially have a degree, it seems really really weird to say it. Ever since I started this course I couldn't quite believe I was a degree student, like I have said many times I never thought I would get to uni let alone complete it. I never classed myself as the uni type, not because I didn't want to go to uni but because I didn't think I was smart enough. Anyway for those of you who dont know I got what students call a 'Desmond' which is a 2:2.

It is a really nice feeling to be honest, to say that I have a degree is a huge achievement for me and I still cant quite take it in. I am however quite excited about the fact that I can now put BA after my name (I think this excitment will wear off in a couple of weeks)

Even if I hadn't managed to get the degree I wouldn't of changed these past 3 years at all (even my 2nd yr, shocking I know) because the experience of going to uni has taught me so much. However after saying all this I am glad that this part of my life has finished, and I cant flippin wait untill the next part.

I am so thankfull to God everyday for how he is working in me, and for what he has given me and I cant wait to see what he has next for me. This year is going to be very exciting and is most likely going to be hard at some points but all I need to do is trust in God daily, because he knows what is right for us. Here is a verse a friend sent me via text on results day which really really helped.....

' cast your cares onto the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall'

AMEN!

accident prone and clumsy! whats the difference?

So i've been thinking today what is the difference between accident prone and clumsy!? because I get called clumsy quite a lot and I agree with that however if there is no difference in these titles then I would prefer to be called accident prone it just sounds soooo much better than being clumsy. It was just a thought and if someone would like to explain to me what they think the difference is I would be very happy! Anyhoo moving on........

I have had a really good couple of weeks, a few weeks back I had been feeling far from God and a little low, and a bit fed up to be honest but some lovely friends prayed for me and I have just been feeling really flippin happy again!! This week has been particulary amazing as it was Mobilise, God just spoke to me about so many things, mainly about handing my burdens and worries to him. I have been worrying a lot more lately about so many things that are coming up like my degree results, finaces and things I am going to do next year as part of Impact which I worry I wont do very well. However God has just calmed me, I think that something I have always struggled with is worrying and anxiety but God has calmed that a lot this week.

Last night was pretty brilliant to, I got the giggles which I hadn't had in sometime either, laughing is amazing I love it!

anyhoo I best split like a banana and leave! (HA HA HA sorry just something some lovely lass said this week which I cant stop laughing about!)
