Packing, and the like.

Woohooo! It's pretty much holiday time.

At 4pm tomorrow (....which is now technically today) I am free of work for 3.5 weeks! I have realised that my job sucks the life right out of me. I used to be this happy go-lucky kind of person....and after working in a monotonous environment for too long (too long I say) it's time to get out. So once I am chillaxed from my holiday and feeling fresh and full of the joy of God after I get home from On The Edge, the real job hunt begins....

*Note to self - working in retail is never going to be my job category again*



Anyway, back to packing.

WHY OH WHY OH WHY do I  leave it all to the last minute?  I tell myself every time that I will not do that and I always do. Still, can't wait to see Ashley again! Quite possibly my most favourite American! She is one of those friends that it just doesn't matter how long you have been apart when you are together it's like you've never been away from one another. That is a good friendship to have when you both live in different continents. Right well I merely decided to come on to my blog, and blog, because I was waiting for the new software to download onto my iphone, and it's done! Bet you I don't notice a difference...

Well fare thee well old blog, I shall see you when I return!

Perhaps I shall have a tan! And even if I do it is guaranteed that my lovely boyfriend (who has the most sickening ability to tan in even the smallest amount of sunshine) will still be more brown than me!! LOL! How rude!

Papa G

What I would like is for God's hand to
come down from the sky (in a non-scary manner) and just prod me in the right direction. I know I should be praying for discernment so as to hear and hopefully do what God wants but sometimes i'd like it in a more radical way.
Currently I am debating something; whether to say what I'd like to say to someone or whether to just leave it and see if it gets brought up first. Vague yes I know, but this is a public place, I can't just divulge all kinds of info....
So I was thinking of radical ways God could tell me the answer to my question:
1) big finger pointing from the sky and the voice with the answer
2) He could tell me in a dream
3) He could send a hot air balloon into the sky with either 'yes' 'no' or 'wait' on it
4) He could get some randomer... Or a friend to come up to me and say " God wants you to know etc" and it be meaningless to them but I would fully understand!
5) Have the answer form before my eyes in my alphabet soup...

All radical. All possible. With God there is no limits as to what He can do, we are just not smart enough or actually we are just too reluctant to pray for big things, things deemed impossible by others. But you gotta remember, through Christ all things are possible!

Now maybe I shall go and pray about this, listen for God's voice in whatever way He chooses to speak.

Teeth and Daises

Teeth.

I love my teeth.

This is why it annoys me that it is my teeth causing me pain in my life currently. Trust me, until you have a toothache you don't really know what pain is. Horrible.

So I've been commissioned to take a photograph of daisies.....I was like "hmmm maybe in my vast collection of flower photographs there will be daisies" and I was right. I found this:

This is Cleo. She is more the subject of the photo than the daisies. Although I thought that the daisies in the garden wouldnt work coz they are too small but actually from this photo there may be some potential. Therefore tomorrow since Friday's are "me days" I am going out into the back garden to enjoy it being the start to my weekend and lie in the sun and try to capture the daisies. It'll not be long though before these adorable creatures are found in the garden picking the daisies...

And now with all this loveliness I feel better and need to go to sleep before tooth pain comes creeping back!

Night :)

Black and White

If I had to chose my favourite photograph from over the past 10 months when I was taking photos for my class, this photograph probably wouldn't be it...

Why bother putting it up here then? Well because I think that even though it is not my favourite it is still an important photograph because it helped me to achieve the grade that I wanted to achieve. The background is slightly distracting, there's a strange looking object to the left of the background (Downhill house) and sheep's wool caught in barbed wire, taken as a black and white image, it created quite a creepy photograph. In fact, all my photographs when I was doing my 35mm film project turned out to be dark and creepy.....but I loved each one of them.

Funny thing is, on the same photography excursion I took a photograph that is among one of the happiest and most favourite photos that I have of my friend Dawn and I...

I liked it. I put a frame on it. I gave it to Dawn as her birthday present. She liked it too.

I love it when that happens.
