My week ...

Well, it's been a strange wee week...

Been stressing for ages about some of my friendships, but got most of that sorted last week. Such a huuuuggggeeeee answer to prayer!!! Had a brilliant dinner and catch up with Jo last week. Was so good just to enjoy some time relaxing together and getting to know each other more again. Claire, Linda and I had a girlie night on Saturday, and they introduced me to 'The Bodyguard'. Brilliant movie and amazing soundtrack ... where have I been all these years!!! Meeting Evonne is proving difficult, and so that's still a major prayer concern.

Did the Christian teaching for the BB on Friday night. If I'm honest I was dreading it. If it had been a group of girls I'd have been there in an instant, but not a group of boys. I had to eat my words! I loved it! The younger ones were cool to talk to because they didn't really know much to begin with, so that was fun. The older ones knew more, with many more questions. Some of the older ones have become Christians in the last few months, and you can really see a hunger in them to know more of God and how things apply into their lives. I came home well excited and can't wait 'till I go back and do more this Friday!

Sunday morning was very cool with Jim talking about goodness. Basically his main point was that kindness is an emotion and goodness is an action. As Christians we need to be showing goodness to people in a way that goes above and beyond anything we could do humanly. That's one of the marks of a growing Christian, and that's what helps point people to Jesus. Jen Diack got baptised on Sunday night which was well cool! The service was great, and the whole place just felt really rich with the presence of God in a tangible way. She was so funny when she was sharing her testimony, which is so powerful. She summed it up so well when she said that she came home from seeing her mum ion hospital and realised that if she died that night then she was going to hell and that wasn't a good thought! God is really at work in her and it's amazing to see. After we had some worship with the band. There was just a few of us, but it was really free and I really felt able to sing and move about however I wanted to ... and just had the most intimate time with my Father.

Also got offered a job in the cafe in Wesley Owen, which has now been made full-time. Started on Monday, and loving it so far. Really nice atmosphere, and the people are so friendly. Really cool chatting with the customers, and many want to share something God's done in them which is a real blessing to me. Sad to have left H Samuels (Saturday was my last day), was really beginning to build up good relationships. But, I'll keep in touch with a few people from there, so guess that's cool. Makes a change being in a staff room where it's normal to see Bibles and Christian books though! Was off today, but back tomorrow so looking forward to that ... though not so sure I'm looking forward to the 7:30 start!

So that's been my week so far ... so exciting ...
