Reach

Last week i took part in Reach in New Mossley and I have to say it was an amazing week!!

Before the week started I really wasnt looking forward to it at all, i wouldve given my right arm to have a week off instead. I was feeling physically and mentally shattered but i had committed to it so i had to be there.

I was totally blown away by so many people during the past week. I love people who are passionate about what they do and although I dont know the managment committee personally they inspired me so much last week! I love how committed those guys are to reach and the young people they work with. Their heart for God really shone through everything that they were doing.

I dont know why i worry so much about silly things. But I do! I was worried about not being a good leader, not being up to the job of leading a team, about not knowing anyone there etc etc. But everyone I encountered at reach was amazing! The management, the leaders, the reachers, the worship band, the speakers, the ladies making food, maintainance guys and everyone else who was involved!

what shone through everyone ,no matter what their role, was their heart for God and this was so inspiring to me and it brough a smile to my face every day. Im so thankful that I had the opportunity to be involved.

i need a break

im totally fed up at the mo. im cracking up with my builder and the mistakes hes making and everyone else i know seems to have their own theories as to how i should solve any issues i have.

i didnt ask for advice!!!!!

why do people always feel the need to give advice when its not wanted? i love how people relate everything back to their own experiences and feel the need to tell me how great they are. it bugs the life when people tell me about things they struggle with and they assume that i will have the same struggles.

people bug the life out of me.

i want all the workmen gone from my house then i swear i am locking myself inside for a few days and cutting myself off from the world. im even going to turn my phone off for once. anytime i do get a seconds peace these days someone is texting me asking a favour or else someone else is ringing to give me useless advice.

in happier news, the new football season starts in less than 2 weeks!!!!
