Weekend < 3

It seems its been a very eventful weekend despite being no more eventful than usual. These days a weekend where i am not doing anything is a rarity. I have become quite a sociable creature :)

Saturday i sat down to do my theology project and id forgotten how hard it is to focus on an essay! The only thing that got me doing my essays at school was the fear of being shouted at. Now that doesnt seem to scary anymore i dont have any incentive to do them, apart from my own benefit. Lets hope i can kick that in the teeth before Uni!

In the evening i went and watched Monty Python at a friends house - id never seen a MP film the whole way through before. It was funny to see how the films had dated - not as much as i would have thought, despite a reference to the Strikes in the 70s at the end of the Holy Grail. Their kind of humour is everlasting :P

By the time i got home i was knackered and stressed, so i stayed up til about 2am having a nice conversation with Chib. When i get stressed i cant sleep, which is why im often up in the wee hours before a deadline.

Despite all this, by the time sunday came round i was chilled, and YMAD was very good - the lovely Caroline Maxwell did the input and it was refeshing to have something a little bit more structured. I think everyone enjoyed it :)

Sunday afternoon was moar theology project~ Then me and Elaine went to It's All About Him - a fundraising concert for Switch-it, which is a football coaching club for the local youth from the estates. Jezza runs it in Sydenham and Malham. They recently reopened the club in Malham and over the two clubs they had a record of 95 young people turn up, so he put together this concert to raise money for more coaches and training equipment.

It was a fantastic concert and "God merked the scene".
I was amazed at how much id fallen in love with London and with everyone who was there - most of FHCC and Catford CC was there, along with half of XLP and a few of the youth from NB school. I fell to my knees in awe of all that God has done for me and for all these people, and im so priveledged to get to be in on what hes going to do in London. Theres such a sense of expectancy in the air. Loads of peoples prayers are being answered :D

So prayer points - Could you pray that God protects his people here in SE London - the good stuff is increasing but so is the bad stuff - there have been so many police cars and ambulances and stuff kicking off lately in Lewisham.
Me and Ruth have been feeling dog tired since our baptisms, but so full of joy. Could you pray that we keep going for Jesus :)
Apart from that, praise him for being wonderful!
