I’m being genuine actually! I had a fab weekend :) yesterday I had lunch and saw a movie with Kate, which was so nice, we had a real catch up. and then we stopped in to see Lucy for a bit which was lovely too. and then I was out for dinner with some LF people to brainstorm about all-age services, they asked for my ‘expertise’ which was really nice that they wanted my opinion and really valued my experience.
then today I went to St.Ebbes in the morning with Teresa and Claire which was good fun, nice service and I got to see people I’d got to know at BASC which was good. Then I had a pretty quiet afternoon doing odd jobs and chilling out, before going to Northcourt Road in the evening for the baptism and confirmation service which was AMAZING! it was so brilliant to see members of the youth who had been through Godzone and into Pathfinders and who’s journeys I’d been fortunate enough to witness and possible even influence. Particularly some of the girls who I’d worked really close with and been with at New Wine when they had some real turning points, I was so proud of them for standing up and wanting to publicly dedicate themselves to God- they are why I love youth work and kids work so much. To see the growth in them was amazing and it gave me goosebumps!
And to top it all off- it snowed! only a little bit so far but apparently we’re due for alot more tonight and tomorrow :D
I have to get up early tomorrow to catch the bus to lectures which is a bittersweet experience…I’m excited to be going back and getting stuck in again…but I hate early mornings!
That’s all I have to write for now. Oh except to say another really cool thing that happened this weekend was during the evening service tonight, Mum and Dad and I were all sat together and we were really worshipping together…not just stood alongside each other…really together…Mum’s come back from a kids workers conference totally jazzed up about God which is really cool- can be slightly *roll your eyes* sometimes coz she is my mum and when she’s the only one that jazzed up and everyone else is…well, normal…it can be a little weird- but definitely inspiring and worshipping together felt amazing…it wasn’t forced or like any of us were trying, it just happened and I loved it.
Ok I really am done now! Need to get to bed and sleep if I’m getting up early- urgh!
Much love xxx
