...and I might actually get my dream!
We've had several days of snow :D and its so cold that it's sticking around which makes me hugely happy.
It made getting PJ and Hannah home from uni pretty tricky and messed up travel plans for a load of my uni friends getting home for christmas but as of today everyone is home where they should be.
Not that any of their complaining stopped me from being excited about the snow!
People who know me will know that I love snow...it's just so beautiful and pure and when I see it I see God's creation is an amazing new way all over again. It reminds me of God's awesome power and yet his delicate grace too. It's pretty and fluffy and light. It makes people happier (most of the time). It makes getting anywhere just a bit more interesting and adventurous. And despite not knowing why, it makes everything feel much more christmassy!
Speaking of Christmas, it's just 3 sleeps away which is exciting :) despite having had a few christmas parties already, it all kicks off tomorrow for me with christingle making...when I do that it really feels like Christmas is here.
I'm looking forward to family time, good food, lovely presents and celebrating the birth of Jesus. There's been a show on BBC this week called The Nativity which is a 4-part series on the Christmas story and it's really good. It's reminded me of how young Mary was, how her and Joseph's marriage was arranged, how hard it was for them to accept what was happening, the culture at the time...I don't know how I would react if God had chosen me for such a special job.
In other news, I have a new placement which will start in January :) I'm starting to realise that God gave me this break for a reason, I've been able to dedicate more time to the CU which has been incredible. I've had the time to support my friends and spend more time with them. Life will get busy again once placement starts but I'm trying to be excited about it, it could be easy to get stressed and nervous about it. I haven't got long of university life left, soon I'll be getting a job and my own place and growing up properly. I'm going to enjoy the time I've got left :)
That's all- I hope we do have a white Christmas, it's looking more and more likely. But mostly I'm looking forward to chilling out with my family.
Much love xxx
