Arms high...

A new day is dawning...

Tue, 26 Dec 2006 15:27:59 -0800

A few months ago I posted a blog about God stirring something up. I wasn't really sure whether it was just something He was doing in me personally, but I had a funny feeling that perhaps it wasn't and a few people have said since that they have felt the same.

You'll never out-dream God!

I realised this morning that just recently I had become scared of dreaming and stopped hoping that my dreams can come true. And that's a dangerous place to get to.

Wedding (well, bridesmaid) photos!

A few weeks ago I was a bridesmaid for one of my very best friends - here are a few photos!

Something's a stirrin'

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:59:14 -0700

I don't quite know what it is, but I'm getting the feeling that God's about to do something big/significant, kind of in the way that storm clouds start to gather on the horizon (well, that is if you like storms, and I do!)

I couldn't tell you what it is even related to, but yesterday I got this sense that God is on the move and that I need to keep sharp and prepare.

He knows what He's doing

Whenever I'm going through a bit of tough time, or things just don't seem to be working out the way I would have liked, I'm the first to say to God, 'Hang on, I thought you wanted to bless me, and give me good things, and that you had good plans for me? So what's all this rubbish stuff, why is this happening, surely this isn't in the plan, please make it stop.'

How do you know when you've heard right?

Fri, 18 Aug 2006 09:55:16 -0700

I would say I generally know when I've heard God's voice. Well, at least I do when it's about something that doesn't have a direct effect on my emotions! It's not even that I only hear Him on general stuff, like about our attitudes and behaviour, which can be confirmed in the Bible. I've heard Him on some big stuff like jobs, career, uni, gap years etc.

Boys in the kitchen!

Love it - a couple of the guys from our pastorate in Church House kitchen when we helped out at HTB cafe one Sunday.

Would definitely recommend volunteering one week - it was great fun

Scooterless chick

Wed, 05 Jul 2006 05:10:56 -0700

Well, it's been decided....no scooter for me. Or at least not for a little while.

You see, the main reason for buying one was to get myself to work, to avoid the hot, sweaty, smelly, hour-long tube journey I currently have each way.

But as I handed my notice in last week and will be working only half the distance from home, there's not really much need for it now.

To scoot or not to scoot?

Mon, 05 Jun 2006 05:44:00 -0700

It's been a mighty old time since I wrote on here. I do think about it but keep coming back to that same old question - is it really interesting enough to broadcast to this little online world that we have?

Well, after last night's service and the way the Spirit was moving and God just held me and told me how much He loves me, I don't care too much any more! Well, for today at least!

...just as only time can heal his broken legs."

Ha! That made me laugh quite recently, and then prompted me to post some rather more meaningful quotes which have become some of my favourites...unfortunately I didn't take note of who said them, so I can't credit them - apologies.

My Name is Rachel Corrie

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 15:57:01 -0700

I went to see this play the other day called 'Mr Name is Rachel Corrie'. It was outstanding.

It's about a young American girl who felt so strongly about what was (is) happening in Israel/Palestine (depending on your view of things), that she went out there when she was about 22 years old to peacefully protest. And she got killed. For trying to protect a family's home from being bulldozed down.

Is it just me?

Thu, 13 Apr 2006 05:02:19 -0700

I find this whole blog thing a little odd.

I guess what goes through my head is 'why would anyone want to read about my thoughts, opinions, experiences?' Don't get me wrong, it's not that I have terribly low self esteem (though I def have my moments!) but I guess I feel I live a fairly ordinary life.

Or is there maybe something a little deeper going on? Maybe I don't like the risk of putting myself out there? Maybe it makes me too vulnerable?

Mr Red Sock

Thu, 13 Apr 2006 03:03:08 -0700

LOST SOCK
Have you seen this sock?
He was last seen in November 2005 in the Cambridgeshire countryside, keeping some cold, wet feet warm and dry.
He answers to the name Mr Red Sock and is sorely missed.
If you know his whereabouts, please contact his owner, Buddyboy Singh, who is desperate to be reunited with him.

The red sock war

Wed, 12 Apr 2006 07:14:58 -0700

So, the gauntlet has been laid...bring it on G-man!!

But before I even consider reuniting Buddyboy Singh with his lost red socks, which I hasten to add he gave to me after he made us do a 5 hour trek on a wet and windy November afternoon in Cambridgeshire whilst on a pastorate weekend away, I have to ask who would take a photo of themselves putting on said favourite socks?!!!

There's a first time for everything!

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 04:37:17 -0700

I have to say I've always been rather sceptical of this whole blog thing. Or rather, should I say I've just never really got it!

But, they say you should always try things at least once...or is that just true of nasty things like brussel sprouts and aduki beans that my dear 'hippy' mother tried to force down me from a young tender age, thus scarring me for life?!

Anyway, I figure it's worth a go right? So I'm starting with this rather boring and some what short first entry just before I pop off to the gym at lunchtime...
