Life as a Third year means…

  • Writing thousands upon thousands of words a day… well trying to!
  • Spending lots of pounds on coffee and other caffine related products.
  • Getting home from the library at very late hours and just wanting to sleep.
  • When you do go out feeling guilty.
  • Filling out job applications, which is scary and grown up, but also really complicated, then crossing lots of fingers and toes for replies!
  • not much time or inclination to blogg!

Made by God.

Here’s a video i made for a girls weekend i was a leader at a couple of months ago. I thought i would share it with you all and encourage to you be who you are, who God made you to be and stop pretending to be something you’re not. Although the video was originally made for girls, there are truths in it for you guys! You to are beautiful and made by God! Hope you enjoy!

Super

If you could be any comic-book superhero who would you be?

And just as importantly why?

(I’m still on hiatus from blogging but am secretly giving you something to read and comment about)

Smithy

Are you a football fan?

Are you an England fan?

Answer yes to both them questions?

Well, have you ever wanted to:

  • Have a go at the England team for not qualifying for Euro 2008?
  • Tell Peter Crouch to bring back the robot dance?
  • Tell David James to stop having stupid hair?
  • Tell Ashley Cole off?
  • Yell at Frank Lampard to actually start playing well together with Steven Gerrard?
  • Tell Shaun Wright-Phillips to sort himself out?
  • Tell David Beckham just how cool he is? (Maybe that ones just me?!)
  • Tell John Terry to stop crying when he misses a penalty?

I don’t know about you but I have!

And if you was watching Comic Relief last night, which I was on a rare Friday night off with the wonderful Zoe, then you would have seen and loved when James Corden a.k.a Smithy from Gavin & Stacey (which is awesome by the way!) got to say all of them things to the people themselves!!! It was hilarious to see, especially since David Beckham was finding every comment about the players hilarious and was laughing proper loads! And to top it all off, Smithy finished by reciting the lyrics of the world class awesome John Barnes rap from the Italia 90 England song ‘World in Motion’!!! Zoe must have been falling more and more in love with me as she found out that I know every word of that rap! Yeah I’m cool!

And if you haven’t ever seen it here is the John Barnes rap from ‘World in Motion’…it’s AWESOME!

Dance

Life is tough.

It can be flipping unbearable at times and life can really get you down and make you sad.

Smiling makes it better, if only for a second…sometimes I can smile for a second and even if it’s only for that second, that’s one second where it hasn’t been rubbish…

Hopefully the following video from YouTube (starring someone some of you may know!) will make you smile hopefully for at least a second!

Philippians Ch.1

In my Small Group we have been looking at Philippians recently and it’s really inspired me! Paul has such an obvious love for his brothers and sister in Christ. Even when he is in prison he is thanking God and praising God for them. He’s hundreds of miles away from them but they are still on his heart and daily he is lifting them to the Lord. This has really challenged me. God has blessed me with so many awesome friends who are doing his work all over the country and also in different parts of the world, but if I’m honest it is rare that I really sit down and pray for them. ‘Them’ includes a lot of you guys who are reading this…sorry I don’t pray for you more, I really want to and will start doing so. If there is anything specific that you want prayer for at the moment please let me know and I will commit to praying for you!

The Joyous Life of a 3rd Year!

Hello beautiful people whom I haven’t seen or spoken to in a long time!

I want to pass on something very important thing that I’ve learnt this week… ALWAYS back up your work! On Saturday night beautiful computer decided that she no longer wanted to speak to my hard drive and therefore stopped working, taking with her my 3000 word essay which I had just finished. It was a very sad time!!!

But in all things God works for good. It was as of he was saying to me, now Hayley look at me and we will get through this, I’m bigger than all the academic stuff you have on right now! So I’ve looked to God, got an extension on my essay and living in the library! Fun times!

I wasn’t really prepared for the enormous slog of 3rd year its actually mental! But God is reminding me to look at him and if I do I know everything is going to be ok!!

O and Happy Lent!! I’ve given up Facebook…apart from 15 mintues on a Sunday and buying lunch when I could just go home and eat!

Lots of love

What do you lovely people who read this blog think I should do?
