ok so small group was great again - had some really good conversations about the exam we have next week that a lot of people were panicing about, Han W led us through a journal which was relevant because it was all about soteriology (the study of the Christian theology surrounding salvation). I say relevant as it's one of the things that we're studying this term at Uni. Was sad that Mikey & Nikki were missing, but hey you can't help you, or your car being ill!!
I then had a chat with Ian about the stuff I was working on today - a workflow diagram & breakdown - as I'm feeling the pressure on every front & to be honest am struggling a little with keeping my head above the surface as much as I would like. He helped me go through some of the key work patterns that I'm trying to do - which was awesome! It's given me some ideas & thoughts to mull over this evening, with a view to progressing & keep (relatively) sane!!!
Now I'm on the bus home reflecting on this discussion & I'm now feeling much more positive about stuff. Hopefully I'm not whining too much, but if I am, you'll get over it.
happy blogging

Wednesdayday
OK firstly apologies for the title - I need to get a better set of titles lol!
Well today it's time for the professional formation group (aka small group) which is always good for a bit of teaching! It's where all the CYM students who live near Oxford get together for some shared learning, under the wise tutalige of Ian. Should be good!
However, this is not the only thing going on today - managed to lose service on my interweb, stand on my glasses & have the most awesome headache - which either means I need to lay off the coffee........or go get some lol!
Other things for frustration include my laptop needing repair, the Daily Mail & totat lack of sleep - of the fun of 2nd year lol.
Right now I'm gonna try to get my ass organised!

Well today is another day to thank God for, yesterday managed to have a major headache (an old & huge financial burden) lifted, also a family member is going to contribute to sneding me out of the country for a uweek in December, then I took my Dad's car in for repairs & something major ly wrong with the car might still be covered under warranty - cool!
On an even brigter note, my boss has suggested that I go to 'Youthworh The Conference' in Eastbourne in a couple of wekks as well - even better!
Right enough fun, now to plan the group for tonight!

Monday, the endless......ness
Good avo blogfans!
Well an interesting day it has been - one of the biggest stresses for me in recent times has been lifted - yaaaaaaaaaay! Not only that but driving to Heathrow was hilarious fun - magic fog lol!
Also 2 random things to annoy me; the Daily Mail & something which is important & relevant - the book The God Delusion. Hmmmmmm! Mr Richard Dawkins seems to be on some sort of anti-religious crusade. We had a lecture on this last week & it affected me so much that I thought I'd get it, read it & critique it - win.
Right I'm off to see if the muppets who 'fixed' my laptop can sort out the mess that they left behind - in this day & age - what is the point of not having WiFi on a laptop with it built in - d'oh!

Sunday mornin'
Morning blogfans! Well it's been a very busy weekend - again & young Simon is feeling the pressure again from all sides (makes me sound like a damn submArine, but hey!); have got a tonne of written work to do for Uni - an essay about management, an exam coming up next week & have to lead worship then to! also gotta redraft most of the work that I've already written this term - as I'm not yet working to a 2nd year level - a bit of a problem based on the fact that I AM a 2nd year!!! Have also got to sort out Jennies birthday & my brother's this month. Oh & lets not forget my placement - have got to plan for all groups, come up with a script for 1 group, plan a talent evening for the other & try to get the 3rd off the ground! oh J just rewrite all policies & procedure for the project & get some sort of leaders pack together for my volunteer leaders. then find the time to sort out an additional placment & deal with my mounting correspondence lol it's all green really lol Well my theory is that worry not, ecclesiastes 3 & I assume that in heaven life is much less papaerwork!!!!!!!!!!
