Groovy Monkey

I’m just back from school camp, and I can honestly say, that it’s in these situations I feel most alive.

120 P7s at camp – woohoo! I was with a group of 12 of them during the day, and 12 at night – It’s always great to get to know them in a new place – and to a depth that you can only hope for after years of working with them in other contexts.

The other staff were a laugh – although its always a challenge working with a group of teachers with a particular ‘group culture’ that exists before the week – this year, this was a little more unsettled because we had local primary staff with us alongside secondary teachers.

Highlights included some real quality time with young people and adults (hospital twice in the week!), good fun activities, and the buzz of being around people so much.

It’s a bit disturbing to think, but I hope heaven is a bit like this, but perhaps without lots of the aspects that were too frustrating to blog about!

Im not convinced. Do I look like ANY of these?!?

well, its been an interesting few weeks. It’s been mad, in fact.

I seem to have spent so long dashing around and working long days trying to fit everything in.

In the middle of it all, God has been typically awesome… so I thought i should ‘count my blessings’ a bit more on here!

• Yesterday, I was given up to 10 Frenzy tickets…
• My mum is really happy at the moment with her voluntary work
• In the last few weeks i’ve met up with John and Gav… and the’yve both been a blessing!
• I had a really nice meal with Terry (broxburn minister) and a couple who are about to get married – it was really nice
• Emily and I got £20 tickets for a holiday in Dublin the other day!!!
• I’m currently working with a team of awesome volunteers and youthwork here is really taking off
• My sisters baby arrived without any problems, and I finally get to see them both, and everyone else, in a few weeks!

There’s loads more… coming soon ;-)
