Hannah

I cant believe that its a whole year ago today that Hannah, sadly, passed away. Its mental how fast time flies.

Well Hannah, if you have the internet in heaven, I look forward to seeing you again, I'll ask God if I can bring a 'Boo' mask so I can get you back good and proper. 'See ya later alligator'

love Boo

I can do everything in Christ who gives me strength

Well hi there.

Thought I better get this thing going again seeing as I shall be off to uni soon and I know how much everyone will miss me and mourn the gap I will leave that they will be gasping for news on this blog. ahem.

There is too much news to catch up on really; I will outline the main things:

• I went to Mobilise/ leadership conference: Naturally, it was amazing, even if i was a bit dubious of Rufio. God really opened my eyes to the wonders of the Bible and gave me a real excitement for it. I also got a word about uni which was very encouraging and exciting! Then I had a verse given to me too, [which is one of my favourites] how good is that!?

Phillipians 4:11-13;
'I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances, I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through christ who gives me strength.'

I cant even begin to tell you how relevant this was for me; this was given to me at the end of the last meeting and it was something I really felt God was working in me through the week, particularly the last day. I feel God helped me to have a contentment in myself both physiccally and mentally. I have really seen the difference this has made over the last few weeks since and I am now more excited than ever about going to Uni with this frame of mind.

• I've also been to Momentum [soul survivor]. I really felt God working in me at this week too but in a different way and using what he had done at the conference. I was actually on team so I didnt get to go to as many meeting/ seminars as I would have liked but God was nevertheless encouraging; the friends I went with wernt on team so this meant I found myself doing things on my own alot, going to meals in particular. I was nervous about this to start with but through the whole week I didnt sit on my own once. Every meal time someone either came and sat with me or I with them, and I felt so confident to just chat to all these strangers [some of you may think 'what? she could chat for england' but trust me, new people make me edgy] So that was a real blessing. They also had a student reception to meet those going to your Uni; it was great, I met a girl who is going to be on my course, plus I met my hall cell leaders and a few others from other years who had come along for encouragment! It seems like there is a fantastic Christian community down in Exeter.

Well I've written quite alot so I won't go on anymore today. Im a little tired after my nature ramble with my Dad today [binoculars and everything, yes we are very cool].

Peace out my friends, until next time,
