aha! i found the edit button :D

hello lovely people
i've got about an hour before i go out to house group so i thought i would use the time wisely and blog :)

i'm actually really looking forward to house group tonight. although i had a pretty good weekend, today was a blah day. not great, not bad, just blah. so i'm looking forward to seeing people tonight because i know i'll have a good laugh with them and also get some great bible teaching too!

as i said, the weekend was good though. on saturday the desire team (which i'm a member of) were supporting an event going on at Abingdon Baptist Church, it was an arts workshop for 11-16's and had a DJ, tshirt printing and graffiti artist.
i ended up being bullied into doing some DJ-ing and graffiti art, was actually alot of fun.
then on saturday evening we had a space big screen film night which was so much fun :D we watched 'bill and ted's excellent adventure' which i'd never seen before but thought was brilliant. i also got to have a couple of really good conversations with different people which was awesome :)
at least until Jonnie dropped ice-cream and strawberry sauce on my coat :( he was in big trouble!! (i then accidentally crushed his cone whilst trying to push the ice-cream in his face and got it on his t-shirt....i'm a good youth worker aren't i?)
thankfully my coat seems to have washed ok so no harm done, even though its supposedly dry-clean only.

on sunday morning i ran a puppet workshop for xtreme+ (9-11 year olds) which went very well, that group are definitely talented when it comes to puppets :) they picked it up quickly and seemed to really enjoy it!
it was also mothering sunday and the kids gave out flowers to all the women in church- i even got one :)
and because it was mothering sunday, mum and i took my nanny to Bicester garden centre. it was good fun and really nice to spend time with my mum too.

then in the evening we had a space celebration which was good, at the last minute i was asked to lead it which i was nervous about, Andy did say i didnt have to do it but i felt God was challenging me to give it a try and it was one of my goals for this year so i did it! and it went alright, started off a bit shaky but went ok :)
had an awesome time of prayer ministry at the end of it which was great, i hope space got something out of it.


university update:
i have officially accepted my place at oxford brookes!!
southampton solent have offered me a place so that's my insurance offer but since the conditions are that my CRB and health check come back clear, i don't think i'll be needing an insurance place.
on friday i'm meeting a girl called Aimi who's a first year social work student at brookes and is going to show me round halls :) which not only means i get to see the accomodation but also get to chat with a first year student!


anyway that's all i have for now i think
will blog again soon, especially since the godzone sleepover is this weekend!! (i plan to buy some very expensive milk!!!)
much love xxxx
