For all of you people who I haven’t been in contact with for ages, and for all of you who just wanted me to mention you on my blog, here it is! All my latest news…
Firstly, I want to praise God for his exceptional planning, timing, and the amazing way he just knows what will happen. From the girl who doesn’t usually know what she’s doing in the next five minutes, I potentially have the next two years of my life planned. Well… Sort of planned… From August 25, I will be joining the millions of citizens in the UK who’s hard earned money goes towards the government’s liking of chinese takeaways! Yes, I have a job!!
I will be the assistant chaplain of Southlands College, Roehampton University. I will be helping to lead and plan services and events in the chappel, as well as being there for the students and brining mor students into the chappel community! God’s hand was so definitely in it! The first job I ever apply for, and the first interview I attend, and I get the job. It’s amazing! I’m really excited to be going back there. The campus is so lovely and I feel such a sense of peace in the whole place. Praise God!
I had such an amazing week last week. Michael came to stay for a few days, and we went to visit some friends who I haven’t seen for ages. They really are such an inspirational couple. They have 2 chilren, both under 2.5 years. The guy is studying for a law degree and they live in the outskirts of Manchester. They are amazing parents. They inspire me so much because the mum is totally blind, and the Dad has limited sight as well. And yet, they are doing a fantastic job and bring up 2 wonderful little boys! I found myself realising that at some point, if I wanted a family of my own, that it would be possible. In fact, it would be more than possible! With God’s help, and the help and support of family and friends, the idea actually makes me smile now!
My family also came up for a couple of days. It was so lovely to see them. We went exploring Manchester. They brought the sun up with them too, so it was pure heaven to sit and defrost! On Thursday we went to a place about 1.5 hours drive away, where they have wild monkeys living in a beautiful forest. It was really nice there. ne monkey had a tiny 3 day old baby. They were all just chilling out in the trees, snoozing in the sun, eating or ambling around posing for photos! They were so cute!
The next few weeks here willbe really bus so it was so nice to spend time with family and Michael and catch up on all the stuff going on!
Yay – your up and blogging again! Your quite brown enough though woman could you send some of that melanin my way please. Thanks for the message and look forward to when we manage to have a chattable moment at the same time. For now though i have to get to church to collect the stuff i left sunday evening – what can i say i was very very tired! Then off to play in the paddling pool with some little friends of mine
Hope the sun has put a smile on the face of every team member. ta ta
