hehe well i think stephen won aain today as he text me at lunch time but Hannah mckimm was a very close second as she emailled me at 445 but then i suppose she was in school! HEHE! we played lots of fun games today with the YFC ppl although we played the one were u put jam on ur nose n then cotton wool which was not so gd and one were u had to get sweetie out of flour n i got covered as one of the YFC guys kept throwing flour over me n we played a passing an egg game with r feet n this guy broke it on purpoe over my foot so i have rather smeely eggy feet! n very bad garlie breath as we had garlic piza bread n my breth reeked but we were singing a song in worship which was saying bout God taking ur breath n it made me laugh as i felt God was saying that he loved even my smelly breath!
David Stamfield took a talk yesterday about hearing Gods voice for yourself and others n at the end he gave us each a postcard n wot he felt God was saying to him for us through it. mine was off a dancer with load sof shoes infront of her n he was saying how i was going to proclaim the Gospel of Peace n have an evangleistic role n how i seemed to have loads of choices but all the choices were really the same. i chatted to him about it aftern he was sayig how wot i waqs going to be doing was more off a progreession of wot i ave already been doing that like a dancer starts off not being very gd at dancing but she progressers into a performer. but i dont really know wo Im already doing!? he asked me wot i would do if I could do wotever i wanted with a group of young ppl n i said play games. n he said that could be to do with it- that ppl r drawn to me as an entertainer ut through that they then get to encounter Jesus n get on the journey. it was all quite exciting but rather wscary- i said i didnt know wot i was passionate about i was passionate about alot of things liek injustic oppression n simplier things like ppl being crushed n he said it seemed i was compassionate about ppl. but i dont see how doing anceint history is really helping ppl n i really dont know if im meant to do it or even go to uni but then i do enjoy studying n did do well in my exams hmm! but i am not to stress or worry i feel n I know God will be faithful n that his plans r for gd- im soo impateint lol but im quite excited too- but feel i just need to take each day at a timen just see were it all leads but that he;s giving me a little more of the jigsaw puzzle.
well i feel this was all quite deep for so late at night n that i must go to sleep as i have three sessinos tomorrow ahh! (the timetable is slightly wrong!) n clare hill is talking to us tomorrow lol!
bye!

I had a fun wee night last night as adam stephen n claire T all came round n had tea with me and ROzy (everyone else had abandoned us and gone home) and then we made cookies which took ages but were fun to make although in the end they did not taste too good but they were batman cookies and we wanted to keep with the superman theme! adam also thought it wud be a fun idea to blow up the air mattresses and then go down the stairs on them- but i tried to stop him hurting himself by putting cushions down n in the process he went flying down n his kuncle i think went under my toe nail and it bled so i moaned lots but i am fine!
today we went to David Rocks house for tea which was very exciting! his wee baby Sarah is so adorable i just didnt want to let her go!- colin was getting quite broody lol!- all in all in was a gd day today- Rozy and i decided to lie in as we felt wrecked so felt alot better today n had lots more energy- we went to mine for lunch so today we had two full on dinners- very filling and yet my stomach is now making strane noises?hm!

Hello
hello!
im feeling rather hyper at the min thoughti also feel the tirdness starting to kick in but i also had the sudden urge to blog!
I thought i shud tell everyone wot my devotion was about. I prayed about it b4 planning and felt God was telling me to talk about the spiritual armour- Ephesians 6 v 10-18 so i got us all to close our eyes and literally put on the armour while i read out the passage. Im also reading Red Moon rising which is a fantastic book and in it is the vision so i read a few lines from it- "You see bones. I see and army"- that verse gives me shivers everytime i read it i just think its so powerful. and then i got us to pray about wot we felt passaiontly about. I felt quite scary and intimidated at first as all eyes were on me and it waas like ahhhhh! but once i got talking it was ok as i felt passioante about wot i was saying which i think will be helpful to remember for next year!
Im having good fun so i am but also feeling rather drained by the afternoon time- like its not so good but i have a lil Hannah time were i kinda shut down n dont talk to any one lol but then im grand the rest of the day!
Itde nearly my turn for under the spot light which is quite scary- under the spot light is when one person from the team tells kinda their story n then everyone can ask them any question they like and COlins decided to keep mine to the end because i ask the awkard questions so then they can really get their own back on me! they all thought i was really quiet at first but are now realised im not so much- bu i also feelim really coming out of myself as well as i feel really comfortable around themand feel i can be me- im being alot cheekier than normal lol but i think bethany brings it out in me! its strange to think her and Emma will be leaving at the end of next week n that theyre not gona be with us throughtout the year as were gettin quite close- its hard not to being with each other all the time- just think bout j 24/7 and how close we all get then! and thats just a week! but i am having good crack and learning lots of new skill too- and Im keeping my room at the chaplancy tidy- we still h ave to pull out of the hat who is sharing a room next year- i dont mind either way as the sharing room is a huge room and the nicest so i can see the pro n cons of both!
well my hypeness has now gone! time for bed me thinks ask adam from my address and sesnd me a wee letter- that wud be v exciting!!
Love Hannah

hello
a thought i should do a quick wee blog before falling fast asleep! training is very good like im loving it and im getting on really well with my fellow team mates like i think we're starting to become friends which is gr8! i laughed till i cried tonight a gd few times which was gd for me i think! we have all been very very tired as trainging is really quite intense (see Stephens blog!)
I also want to say a great big THANK YOU for everyones support presents and prayers- i really am very very grateful!- do continue to pray- expecially against sickness as the YFC ppl have been getting sick alot so im worried we might too! michael spence was training us on drama tonight which was gd crack and after we played hide and seek in the dark and all got lil hyper! its gd as we're all startin to be more comfortable around each other- a huge contrast from the first day when we all sat in awkward silence making polite convo! it still hasnt fully hit me that im doing TOM- its starting to but hasnt yet!- like ive looked up to so many of the ppl who have done TOM like Lisa Own Mary Rose and Ryan who came to r church- and its so strange to think- thats now me!
but i am enjoying it just feeling a bit drained- pray for tomorrow as its first aid which is supposed to me a very very long day!- im lso reading Red Moon Rising at the minute which is all about the 24/7 prayer movement and its so class- its very very inspiring and i guess its helping teach me totrust in God and is encouraging me to try and be more radical in my faith!- i think throughout training Gods really been saying to us to depend on me- like when we say "give us our daily bread" that we;ll really mean it and Fully Rely on God!
well really must go to sleep as im starting to feel wrecked! But you are all free to visit any time- just send me a wee text and see if im free- Fri n sat evening im free n sun morn n afternoon! also next Tues night im free- is Yabs on?i would love to go if it is!
o and r hoodies are going to be sky blue with brown writing!
if Jackie is reading this then send me a wee text hehe!- tell Tori that Im prying for her! i was telling Gillian today how gr8 Jackie and Peter are! i do miss everyone so send me wee texts!
love hannah
