under pressure

from various comments to blog..... and so i shall.

two sweet hours of uniterupted computer time, and an inbox full of emails that are too old to be interesting. boo. so blogging it is!!

Am moving house!!! Whopeee!! The beautiful Laura and i are off to the dizzy heights of Whalley Range (still manchester for those outside this bubble), to live on blair road in a lush house with ben and hannah. I am really looking forward to it as my current housing situation is ok, but am realising that sometimes God just wants to give us the best, just cause he can.

I am learning a lot about how God sees me at the moment. Previously i had in my head that he only changes/ adds things in us to prepare us for something in the future. a new job, being a wife etc. When actually He showed me that He is the ultmiate geek... He gets this old style computer, strips off the naff stuff, adds in the essentials but then decides to put all this other stuff on the computer just cause its quite cool and its fun.... how cool is that.

So I am now very much enjoying finding out what fun stuff I am to do.... like dropping the current clothes style (mainly involves hiding) and celebrating instead!! Also crazy adventures, possibly the next to be in uganda. Possible modes of transport which have been suggested include
1) the private jet (hdc airlines)
2) the camel (from Egypt with love from parents)
3) just appearing there (possibly via a toilet cubicle in terminal 4 of Heathrow!!)

I am excited about the future, even though it is fuzzy/blank at the moment. But i am also really loving the Manchester posse right now (although i do always obviously), but after what seems like a bit of a 'mourning time' or something after the departure of many fine friends, the guys here are family to me now, and i am really loving it!

Other exciting news... the german market, and therefore bratwurst, gulhwein and mince pies, has landed in manchester... oh i love it!!! However i am resisting joining the shopping throng already; one, because i have no money, but two, because it seems silly to spend more than a month on it. That wont stop me from enjoying the odd bratworst though!!
