I had a lovely Saturday when I sang at Jenny Fox (a lady from church)’s wedding. It was just me, Wayne and Conor in the band, which confused me at first but it turned out well and we polished the songs off in epic practices.
That afternoon, I went and picked up MY CAR! It’s a little white Hyundai i10, which I have named Heidi! I love her, and life has been so much less complicated (but a bit more expensive with petrol…) since I have the ability to get around…
The night I got her, I took Maddy on a drive and we went down some random roads and ended up on this horrendous pot hole track! It was awful, and I had to drive at 5mph while we tried to work out where we were…funny times. Mads also got out of the car to take a picture, then immediately got back in like ‘lock the doors Anna, I can hear breathing!!” :D. The car also means I've been able to see Josh lots more, which is really lovely...
Last week’s theology course went really well – it was so interesting and I really felt like I learned a lot. One thing that stood out was the doctrine of the trinity, because it’s one of those topics that seems to be underrepresented in sermons etc, probably because it’s so complicated!
On Tuesday evening, I had tea at Maddy’s (Ian was there too, and we had a delicious tea!) then watched 90210 with Mads, Lexie and Ruthy before Matty and I gave her our presents – fluffy socks, some little animals to represent us, options hot chocolate and other nibbly bits. When I drove home at about 12:30am, I was sobbing in the car…dramatic times. I don’t like goodbyes at all! But I know she’ll have an amazing time – and she seems to be enjoying it so far.
Matty and I have started a ‘love Monday’ especially for Maddy – today we let ourselves into her house and took a picture of us with her stuff, as well as washing up and leaving her dad a present. We’ll be doing it every week now, so that’ll be nice :).
I love the youth groups and I love the youth! One of the Rock Solid girls made a commitment yesterday which was really encouraging, and I’m building good relationships with them all.
Yesterday I felt so confident in myself all day – in a way that could only have come from God. In church I felt like I carried the music group (leader wasn’t feeling well and we hadn’t practiced enough). Yesterday was a really good day in terms of juggling everything – I felt capable. Today, I've been applying for other part time jobs and things feel good at the moment! Food stuff has been a bit difficult but I'm sure it's just because of the fact I'm adjusting to a new routine... Happy Monday <3
