WOW!

Time is really really Flying

This time last week I had just graduated, I was running around in a van with julie collecting stuff for summer madness, Mum and dad had just left for England. One week on and summer madness, the cavern, and graduation have all been assigned to the history books for this year.

However today is turning out to be a day which will go down in the history books. I was sitting in bed this morning - watching the TV when the LOndon Underground seemed to go down then an hour later it was seen as a more sinister thing - when bombs went out over the city sitting halway through the day we see how bad humans can get.

Things are very confusing! 8 men are up in Scotland attempting to allieviate poverty, reduce pollution ... and people try to stop this from happening

Life has its ups and downs Tony Blair yesterday was sooo up beat with having london won the olympic bid - "It's not often in this job that you punch the air and do a little jig and embrace the person next to you,"

and today

"Just as it's reasonably clear this is a series of terrorist attacks, it's also reasonably clear, that it is designed and meant to coincide with the G8."
BBC political editor Andrew Marr said Mr Blair was clearly extremely upset when he gave his reaction to the blasts.

How this day, week and month turns out as the old saying goes - "God only Knows" which is soo true

Now attention turns to the Uganda Trip - in under 72 hours I will be in the airport read to embark on a trip to uganda - I cant wait - please continue to pray that the polital situation would be a factor in the arrangements for the trip

Another busy week

Friday seems to be the day for blogging This week has been another busy week.

Monday was spent up with SU then over to set up the labarinth in the cathedral
Tuesday was spent looking after the labarith with Julie and then back to the office to finalise the service things
Wednesday was up in CMS bought the footballs and things then over to CMS re setup the labarith
Thursday went up to uni agin to collect project and then back to collect dad and down to set up hall then over to Bible Study at adrienne
Tonight was spent in carryduff for adriennes team with the bishop presiding.

Thoughts this week have been very clear through various things - the importance of taking time out to focus on God - I went in to the labarinth wondering about it - not sure what to expect but it was really quite good time out which was great! Especially its location - in the midst of the catedral.

Tonight at the service bishop had his sermon about Jonah
- I won't Go
- I will Go
- I am Here
- I wish I had never come at all

At the moment I am at the second stage in the story - "i will Go" The next couple of days are going to be soooo busy The madness of the parish fete where I'll be flippin pancakes as well as probably scafolding and all the other stuff that goes with the fete!

Then on sunday we have our teams commissioning service - I am soooo looking forward to this - The whole team being together - the last time before we are all at the airport.

Life is just totally hectic but brilliant. I suppose my focus for the next coming week is taking time out - just to prepare myself mentally and spirtuially for the next month.
