No work today!

BANK HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad i got that out of my system!

Time for a little music rant i'm afraid folks....
Why is it that whenever I meet new people who are in to music it takes me forever to convince them that i know what i'm talking about?
I have a suggested answer - because i'm a girl and because i dont play the guitar.
It even took me months to originally get Tommy (my now trusty fellow gig-goer) to take me seriously way back at the beginning of uni.
Granted most gigs i go to the percentage of boys is far far higher than that of girls, in fact there have been few where i have been the only girl but that does not mean we girls dont love music as much.
I do like the novelty though.
Hmmm just got me thinking

James Blunt, what a ....

James Blunt is being played in the office yet again, there is only so much I can cope with!!

musing

What has happened to me? I’m currently sitting in the office singing along to James Blunt. It’s along way off from the dreams I had for this year - but I’ve still got that God feeling. It’s not what I had planned for myself but I keep catching myself grinning because God is so good.



Ps my apologies to all people leaving comments - finally worked out how to use my blog!!

Holy Spirit on the move

Hey

God's doing some pretty exciting stuff at church at the moment, Holy Spirit started moving big time on sunday. I wish i knew more about what He's doing but i don't. I'm just seeking after Him and enjoying it. I cant wait to see what happens...

The odd one out??

Last night i did the obligitory first night out with work, it was really good in alot of ways. It gave me a chance to get to know people a bit better, i was alot more relaxed outside of the office and was able to be myslf more than usual. I haven't been in a group where i am the only new person for a very long time. Straight after work in the pub was good cos loads of people were there and i was able to really chat. However as the group decreased and we moved on i was left feeling very very new.

It was a social situation which i didn't find comfortable at all. I'm not used to being the new girl. Conversations often seemed to stop when people found out i was a christian or the fact i was going to bible college. I think people simply dont know how to react to it, which is fine it just leaves conversation a bit dead. The first seeds are there though.

I hadn't appreciated just how tough london is going to be socially.

Absolute carnage

So saturday night was the end of year ball at uni. I went with this rowdy bunch - cant belive it's been nearly 4 years since we were in Nicholson E!!! It was an interesting night with a fair few dramas many of which i'm still trying to process. It is fair to say that alcohol was entirely responsible for wrecking the evening, don't get me wrong it was alot of fun but there were certainly a few traumas throughout the night!
At about 2.30 am when most people were on the way home i surveyed the remains of the union and just started crying (poor pringle had to put up with me). It was such a powerful picture of such emptyness and brokeness of the world we live in. The christians (including myself) let God down big time - it was if we just took a night off. It scared me alot, maybe we're on a bit of a sinking ship, sinking because we are doing absolutely nothing about it. I have the most amazing truth and answer to people's brokenness and yet who did i share it with on saturday?
