Great Things About Life This Week #17



  • A week with my favourite ginger: say hello to Sarah Ashworth. She is what is known as a ginger winner and I spent lots of time with her this week. We went to Starbucks and other coffee establishments, talked alot and ate too many eggs and drank too much gin and tonic. Standard times.
  • Grace: astounds me, always.
  • Greenbelt: Lee and I are currently at Greenbelt and having a wonderful time despite the turbulent night temperatures and the fact that we are working! Home tomorrow.

Do you not know? Have you not heard?



This blew me away today. It's taken from a DVD called 'How Great is Our God' which describes the great magnitude of the universe, and how stupidly amazing the God is who made it all. It has made me truly consider how insignificant Earth is in comparison to the rest of the galaxy, and the stars, and the insane big-ness that is the universe. And amongst all this epic existence, I am set apart. I have been chosen as a dwelling place.

Incredible.

Massively Great Quotes #24



"People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering."
- St. Augustine

Great Things About Life This Week #15



  • Weddings: I went to a lovely lovely wedding on Saturday! My friends Si and Jo from University got married and they both looked wonderful and celebrated the best day of their lives in style complete with all things Cath Kidston, Laura Ashley and with plenty of sunshine.
  • Books: I have received 2 amazing books in the post this week, one is called Jesus For President by Shane Clairborne, and another is called Drop Like Stars: Some Thoughts on Creativity and Suffering by Rob Bell. Both have some amazing photography in and feature some wise words on how God and Jesus are oh so relevant to today's society, and the economic and social suffering going on all around us.
  • My new camera lens: I got a 50mm lens (known online as the nifty fifty) and it's a massive winner so far. I can't wait to use it when I go on holiday to Northern Ireland on Saturday. Win.

Great Things About Life This Week #14



  • My mum: Yesterday we had a BBQ for my mum's birthday which was on Saturday. My mum is a great mum. It's hard living with her after 4 years of independence at University but she is such a wonderful person. Giving, loving and everything a mum should be and more. So I'm glad she had a lovely day, she's a winner.
  • Holga: My new Holga camera arrived this week! It's brilliant and I have had lots of fun taking photos with it today. The problem I have is that after years of using digital cameras, I need to work on my patience. My 4 year old niece didn't understand why she couldn't see the photo after I took it!
  • Watersports: On Saturday I went to my friends hen party and we did loads of watersports like water skiing and banana boating (not quite sure that counts as a sport but still). It was so much fun, I ached all weekend from it and have some impressive war wounds but great times!
