London is BIG

Went to London this weekend. It is big and small all at the same time. I like it. Jesus likes it, it's all good :) London is very fun. x x

missing Him

feeling a bit naughty cos i'm writing this from work, am bored though and haven't been given any work to do so i'm just waiting for the phone to ring. I love my job, when its busy its great but when its quiet it's very slow. Yesterday it was so slow i read all of 'Wild at Heart', awsome book.

I'm missing Jesus today and it sucks, i overslept and missed my quiet time today and i have been suffering for it all day. I keep trying to pray about alpha tonight but i cant focus. Any prayers sent my way would be much appreciated! It's not like i have been really bad today it's just that i'm missing Him a bit, weird i know.

Gonna go home and have a good bit of Jesus time after work before alpha. It think its more important than setting the tables.

Some one at work today told me i would make an awsome 'trendy vicar'. i nearly vomitted on the spot. prophetic?!...

I've Cracked!!!

For some reason yesterday Dan thought it would be a good idea to buy a large ammount of blue sherbert and to encourage me, pards as well as himself to eat it just before a leadership developement meeting at church.Not a good move!! For anyone one who knows me or indeed daniel or caroline you will know that we dont cope well with meetings due to our short attention spans. WMe and Dan both cracked quite early on yesterday but we seem to be coping better than we used to. maybe we're growing up....
The same can not be said for Adam Frankel.

Alpha baby!!

Last night was the start of something special, it was the alpha launch night at church. Hurrah Hurrah! Alpha is brilliant, it gives people the freedom and safety to explore the important questions of life and to ultimately decide whether the claims christianty makes are true and if they are to respond to that. I LOVE IT!!!
This is an amazing C. S Lewis quote alpha uses on its flyers
"Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and, if it is true is of infinate importance. The only thing it can not be is moderately important."
Bring it!!

Tables before alpha started - pretty, pretty

Hi blog fans
Very annoying wednesday today, spent most of the day day dreaming about being back in bed - very frustrating and a waste of head space.
I have fixed my blog so that you dont have to be registere to leave comments now.

Go on i dare you...

Happy songs for happy people

Walking home on a rainy hull monday, ipod on shuffle, safe in the knowlege that all my music is decent and i should be in for a treat musically speaking. Then on it comes - 'You' by S club 7. ouch! But you know what? In amid all my music snobbery i love that tune. Practically skipped home, very very good mood now :)

life goes on

So now been back in Hull for about a week i think, its hard to pin point exactly because my life here seems like forever. Things have slotted back in to normality, job is a little dull, spend my days waiting for the phone to ring but it's generally good, things at church are going swimmingly.
I'm very excited because alpha starts on thursday - if i'm going on previous experiences of Alpha at vineyard it's going to be spectacular.
Then on friday i have a job interview which from what i can gather is with an organisation who work with excluded young people, i'm trying not to get too excited...

i'll keep you posted

Alex and his pants...

I said i would write more about the houseparty later so here it is. This is a photo of alex ross and his frozen underwear. Brilliant!!! Camp this year was ace as ever,God really touched our lives in a big way. I think heaven will be a little bit like the houseparty; full of Jesus and alot of fun. However houseparty is not real life so although i had a fab time, real life must begin again and that is where i'm meant to be. I'm now back in Hull and i love it. making the most of every second. x x x

Our God is a great big God

This new year has been stonking. I'm so unbelievabley excited about 2006. I hate the fact that i spend my whole life underestimating God. For months, since graduating really, i have felt like God's left me a bit to my own devices, sometimes i've got it right but most of the time i have got things very wrong. I have been desperately longing for Him to start revealing the next bit of his plan to me cos i've been getting very itchy feet! I've been learning alot of patience.
On 1st Jan He started speaking in a big way, in a massive God way. Praise the Lord. The next step is coming and i'm so excited, terrified but excited. He has been confirming all my questioning in the most mind blowing of ways. In not just one way but many. I love Jesus he is so ace. and the most amazing thing of all is that He loves me.
I know that all of this may seem a bit criptic but i want to keep everything and ponder it all for a while longer.

More about the houseparty later...
