Explanation

ok, i have to explain myself here...
this is going to sound really dumb but i thought i had compltely lost my blog forever but in actual fact i had started to spell 'scouser' with double 's' so of course is wouldnt appear!!!
i tried to post and then reload it all, which explains the not writing anything in the previous post. all very confusing but i am very happy now that my blog is not lost forever and i can continue to update all you faithful readers!

until next time...

Loren, 100 Hours And Work

well, it seems a while ago now but just over a week ago i went with a bunch of friends to hear the great loren cunningham (founder of ywam) speak at a local church here in my home city!!! he actually had some really great things to say especially about missions and the uk!
also, a big highlight of the night was having 100 hours lead worship. it was fantastic!
i realised that it really is true that once a ywam-er, always a ywam-er!!!

lets see, i have been working quite alot which has been hard work but good. i feel like i am getting into a bit more of a routine now and getting the hang of how to do various things. the routine in the home is exactly the same every day so ive just about got that down now!
i am really enjoying being round the residents, they really make me chuckle sometimes. it is really hard to stay somewhat detatched because they are a big part of my days and i really care about them!
this job makes me really appreciate my days off though!!!

so i have realised that i am an absolute soap (as in tv) addict. not only do i watch all the programs that i have always loved in england, now there are the ones such as csi and law and order: svu that i was introduced to in canada!! i am even sad enough to go on the websites to see whats going to happen!!! oh well, what can you do really?!

well, i think thats about all for now. not really anything too interesting to report at this moment in time...other than the fact, as i mentioned earlier, for all you ywam-ers reading this, that i did see loren cunningham in the flesh and when i mentioned i was just in ywam vancouver, we had a conversation about randy and then he asked me to go to hawaii..haha!!!

until next time...

Work And Friends

i realise that i havent posted for quite a while a i sincerely apologise for that as i know how it feels when you go to a persons blog faithfully and they never update!!!
anyway, as many of you will know i got a job in a nursing home and i started last monday!
i could not believe how tired i was after just a 6 hour shift, i mean all those months in dts and i had to take a nap after 6 hours!!
my first day was really hard, i wasnt sure if it was really wanted to do anymore but i stuck it out and went in on tuesday and it was awesome. the seniors that i was working with and the other staff were great, really helpful and a real laugh!
i have experienced things and done things that i never thought i would but i wont expand on that here!
its really nice to be working again, having some sort of routine again. i found that i was beginning to get a bit lazy just being home all day most days!

i have certainly been very blessed with a great group of friends since being back.
i have joined in the friday night cell group that they run and we generally hang out any time a bunch of us are free...including a beer tasting night on saturday which should be good!
we also have a sunday night "meeting" at a local pub which is rather enjoyable!!

i have to say congratualtions to my friends jessi and mike oates (friends from vancouver) on the birth of their baby boy, kael asher! i miss you lots!

i will do my best to update more frequently..

until next time...
