i do love my job. in the last few weeks we've had a conference for mick (new series of time team starts first sunday in january, channel 4), several christmas parties, and term has finally finished. it was an uphill battle getting to the end of term and i'm looking forward to nearly 2 weeks off, although i have sooo much work to catch up on it unreal. i've also learnt what the theory of reception is(don't ask me to explain it in too much detail - i haven't learnt that much!). today i finally started christmas shopping, and even bought cards (lets see if i get time to write them before the last post). the weeks running up to the end of term have been particularly hard as the Boy and i have hardly seen each other.

comedy moment of the day has to have been me arriving. i walked in in the rain and was absolutely drenched. i have shoes and socks drying all around the department (ooh yes i'm the essence of professionalism in the holidays me) and as i walked down our large entry corridor you could see where i had been - there was a long soggy trail!

sunday is the wedding of a good friend of mine from school, and its been great to catch up with friends from then from all round the country in the last week or so, but it has made life that little bit more hectic.

this is what i'm dwelling on currently. i just keep coming back to it. my wanting results, being impatient, struggling to follow Jesus, to be a light. but having to be, having to trust that following Him the best way i can is the only way for those around me to see. buts its so hard. i just want them to know, to understand. but resolution doesn't happen until the very end. and i feel like i have so far to go. and it all comes back to 'am i following Jesus the best way i can?', can i honestly answer yes? (it makes me want to stamp my feet and say 'i just want my friends to know You, please make it happen')
