| Tomorrow is my last day at holiday camp. Yesssss! It's been ok but I'll be glad to see the end draw near and go back to shorter days with the kids. And less of them. It just all seems a bit mad.
I've been volunteering at a festival thing called Room 65 run by and in my church every evening during the festival. I'm on the catering team, serving free tea and coffee. It's been absolutely fantastic. Tonight in particular was really good. It's like a coffee shop/music house/ with a guy giving short talks regularly exposing the gospel. This woman, D, came in and got her coffee and said that she just wanted God to come into her life. She told me she became a Christian in 2004 then drifted, got into drug use, and now has decided she wants God in her life and wants there to be no more place for Satan. I was so excited when she started talking to me. She asked me about the service times so I told her. I wish I was around on Sunday to go up and see her, but I'll be in Nottingham.
Before each night begins, all the volunteers meet to pray in small groups. And I prayed I could use my ability to speak french to make a French person feel welcome tonight, since so many people are foreigners on holiday just now. And God did it! This french couple came in, I heard them speak French to each other, so I asked them where they were from and they had this kind of expression of relief on their faces when they head me speaking French to them - it was their first day in Scotland so a little disorientating. Again, I was so excited!
I've started packing boxes up in my room, since so much is going on, I'm not going to have much free time in the next couple of weeks to pack, with my childcare course, people up for a wee while, going away, starting school term back, Room 65 on every evening til the end of next week, getting everything organised admin/bills wise, it feels like there's going to be so much to do and I'll have no time at all.
Bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla.
Oh yeah I know what I was going to say. There was this young man this evening in the music band. His drum playing was legendary. I was actually blown away. Fantastic. |
