That Sunday Feeling

Had a lurverly day today just chilling and pottering and managing to while away the hours as I do.

Ended up having lunch with my sister at the Tinto which was a good chance to catch up with all her housing antics and touch base. Its funny how we're both in the same city but move in such different circles, but I love having her around nowadays and being able to meet up if free, because we both live so close to one another - luckily we are both not very into planning our days vigorously so can generally drop things to catch up over a quick coffee. The best thing about seeing her today was that we have decided to meet up tomorrow for tennis, a more demanding rendezvous but still a good time for catching up I realised last week - its great you feel like you are raising your heart rate and its not just because of good news to tell each other! mind you, that just shows that we only have time to chat because our tennis balls are flying a lot slower than the crazy ones at wimbledon with federer behind em.

Then went to Ashton court with Emily Cody for a lovely long walk. Kicking the leaves with my boots, crunching them under my roof and some brisk walking and good conversation definitely made me thankful to be alive and enjoy AUTUMN in BRISTOL, an extra special time of year and its still light at 6pm!! Hurrah!

it's cool that you did go for a walk with Emily after all, and enjoyed your semi-solo Sunday!

And I think your spontaneity is a good quality.

Isaiah 55

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" Seems God is really wanting to write these words on my heart, as this week I have been confronted with the fact that I need to say farewell to Bristol and move to the East Midlands for 2 years, namely Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. Yep, you've got it, I have been allocated a job (through the lottery of MTAS) for the first two years of my training in these areas, I don't yet know where specifically. I have to admit I would not have planned it this way and I am disappointed. But I am trying to believe in my heart that if that's God's plan, its the best plan. I spent most of yesterday trying to rapidly conform my will to his, hoping that I would feel better about the move. I am getting there slowly - I have a headache from lots of te

Fresh beginnings Day 29

Image
So it is the 1st September 2009, day 29 since I arrived in NZ. I have moved into a home with Mel and Bev, daughter and mother, co-landlords and girls that are becoming great friends. They have welcomed me, oozed generosity and just generally been amazing. I was put in touch with them through a girl called Clare, who worked here at the hospital 2 years ago and lived with them. The radical part is (yes, radical is a word I realised today I have started using - Mel uses it in a shortened version 'rad') that Clare and her husband have just moved to KwaZulu Natal, South Africa to work there. When she emailed me and Mel each other's details all the way from SA, Mel was in Thailand with work and I was in Christchurch. The previous week Mel had put an advert in a local cafe for the room. Initially she had specified she was looking for a 'Christian' housemate and then decided to cross it out despite her possible real hopes for a fellow crispy for her and Bev to live with. In
