in exactly 12 hours i will be getting up to go to america :O
i'm so excited!!! its finally here hehe and i really cant wait!!
i thought i would post tonight since i doubt i'll find time tomorrow, although i'll have access to a computer while i'm there so might be able to post and visit facebook (i expect lots of comments while i'm away!)
this has been my light at the end of the tunnel and its finally here and its so hard to believe, i hope i sleep really well tonight and i hope the flight tomorrow goes well and that the security checks dont take too long!
anyway thought i'd blog about the youth service on sunday night. i was directing the drama (which i wrote) and performing an interpretive dance (which i helped choreograph). arriving at church brought alot of stress since 2 members of my drama didnt turn up so pj and i had to step in. then found out we were supposed to be dancing on the stage blocks which arent very stable. then anna wasnt going to get there until 30 mins before the service so that was scary.
when we finally got a look at the stage blocks they were tiny, more stable than i thought so that was ok but beth and i tried to practice and nearly fell off, this was without anna even on the stage.
so then pj, phil, beth and andy tried to fit another block on the end. problem being that none of the sides seem to be able to bolt together.
by now we were running out of time for the drama practice.
i stood there feeling very helpless and stressed but took a deep breath and sat down to pray. i prayed so hard and as i opened my eyes they were gaffa taping the stages together! not very safe but a solution and an answer to my prayer.
we finally got a couple of drama run-throughs in and 10 minutes before the service began anna arrived and we got to do 3 dance rehearsals. we then snuck in at the back thinking we were going to be late, only to find they were in the middle of the first interview and we werent needed for another 15 minutes or so. big sigh of relief and big praise to god.
the service went really well. the drama was good, extra laughs came after peter ripped his trousers while climbing on stage hehe (sorry pete!)
then the dance came, beth and anna missed one of their turns which threw beth and meant that me and beth messed up part of our dance, we got it back on track though and apparently no-one noticed.
there was an awesome prayer activity lastly. and afterwards cells was mostly good fun :)
so a good sunday evening overall.
anna and i went for lunch today which was lovely, we went to the boundary house pub/restaurant and had baguettes which were yummy. then into town quickly (i got pj and i some cakes).
then came back and packed!!!
this evening my family were annoying me a bit, which just got me stressed that i was letting it wind me up. pj apologised, cleaned my dinner dishes away and offered to play fusion frenzy with me (which he normally doesnt want to play) and they all made an effort to play mahjohngg too. which cheered me up massively and made the evening turn out nicely.
i'm now off to watch a bit of tv and then go to bed and when i wake up i'll be going to america!!!!
much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
