Love Art

On Friday night I redeemed the groupon certificate that Andrew bought for me and we went to do our art project together. We went to this very authentic converted garage type art studio. This guy tried to make it all romantic for us, but unfortunately Andrew is stuck with a very unromantic O'Sullivan who refuses to play for the crowd so I didn't respond very well to his attempts... but I did enjoy doing the painting-because he left us on our own to paint our picture together, and here is our final piece:

On Sunday the sunday schools were learning about David and Goliath. One of the teachers had made a life size model of Goliath for the children to understand just how big he was-I thought it was quite cool.

4 months

It's 4 months to go and I feel very panicky and have lost motivation again. I can't even think of all the things I need to do. Oh well, I'm sure it'll all iron itself out. It's very strange getting married in a faraway country.

Looking forward to the weekend though :) Sleep in!

Recent Events

I apologise for my neglect of this blog over the last few weeks. It's been a strange couple of weeks. Just this past week my uncle, Jack, passed away, rather unexpectedly at the very young age of 57. I'll really miss Jack, especially when I go home in the summer and he's not at our wedding celebration or sitting at his home to chat with about all the highs and lows of diabetes! I think I nearly found it harder not to be at home this time because I wanted to be there for my aunt Marian and my cousins. I found it very frustrating not to be able to sympathise with them and be there for the removal and funeral. My dad did send me recordings of both of these services however, and Andrew and I were so encouraged by them. It was a positive joy to listen to people's testimonies of Jack and to listen to the music played at the funeral. I was rejoicing at what Christ had done for Jack in saving him at a young age and how that Salvation had an effect on his children and now his grandchildren. I can only pray that should I die before the Lord returns, that I could have such a testimony and such a funeral service! Redemption makes a life rich, without it we are empty. My hope now is to see the 'Goodness of God in the land of the living'.

I'm looking forward to rejoicing with Jack in person when I reach my heavenly home.
