i can feel it happening now, my world being sucked right out
into the large and bottomless void that is a life lost on facebook.

otherwise i am looking forward and hopeful to the whole thing.....

otherwise i have no life

its all gone the way of facebook.

jokes, jokes.

Announcement

......i am writing to confirm or deny some horrid romours that are going round causing many of my friends much mirth and generally a good laugh at me (which obviously, having not happened before, needs to be stopped before it becomes a habit on their part!!).

These rumours involve me training and then practising as a teacher of geography.

I hereby confirm these rumours.

Pants - they were right all along! Yes I know, you told me so.... I am just slower on the uptake.

It just so happens, to my great surprise, that I love teaching kids. And teaching geography (the geek in me is screaming for some output!!!).

And so i shall....

I think i will also try for this sept, although this is very late in the day to be applying. But He has shocked me this far, so he can keep on shocking me all the way to the gate!!!

you can stop laughing now....

isn't he rude, pulling a fast one on me like that! Humph (sort of - i love it really, the unexpected and unpredictable. who knows what could happen??!!)

Holiday Joy

in days of holiday, after a mad last few weeks of term where your feet ache from running around all day and you can't take any more internal politics and moaning, you realise the pure bliss of being able to sit quietly and complete a full train of thought. There is the added joy of spring time sun, amazon ordered 2nd hand books and hot cross buns at any time of the day!

Am loving having a chance to read books, esp about my current topic and focus for the future, central Asia.... the geopolitics over the last 200 years are amazing - a complete mush!!(which yes, we did have a hand in unfortunately).

Another fun, slightly surprising thought from this week is - I had not realised that I had this fear that one day the Lord was going to decide that I was in fact a total plonker and obliterate me completely. This meant that I had vague fearful ideas whenever i entered into his presence, but never entirely sure from whence they came.

This week however, being able to have some quality time with the Lord, he kindly informed me that has never been his plan to blast me from the face of the planet with a wave of his mighty hand, but he is infact quite fond of me, and enjoys my company.

And it is quite fun to realise all this - brings a great rush of freedom with it...

Who would have thought, after 7 years with the Lord, finally discovering I am forgiven.
