Becca's Back In Town!

Christmas - the season that we all build up to and then just like that its over again!

But as Sarah reminded me in her preach a couple of weeks ago in church - we are in the season of Advent!!! We are awaiting the second coming! We celebrate that Jesus was born! We await Easter - when we will look to His death and resurrection! And in the mean time - our lives are building up to that day when Jesus will come again! So we are...in advent - we are waiting for Him to come again!

Christmas is an interesting time for me. I think except for when I was younger - Christmas has always been a strange time of year. I was actually reflecting on it whilst with the family - just ...I dont know know really but something always seems to crop up - or I just seem to, well think deeply about things when it is the Christmas season.

Im now back at the house of 22. On the train home I was thinking how this year will pan out - I dont know! What I do know is that I have 13 and half weeks left on placement which inside im so looking forward to being over - but I cant hep but think, that really I should be embracing the whole experience rather than wishing it to be over. I just guess that at the end of the day - is what I am doing on placement really what I want to go into. This new year - haha Im going to try and make a resolution. Not about giving up chocolate, going on a diet, or whatever the "usual" things are... but I am trying to give work my all, and my best - and to try and remember that utimately all work is for the Lord. I think I shall write that out and stick it on my computer - a daily reminder to me. I mean...ok so I may not be embracing the whole work thing - but I am there for another 13 and half weeks - I might as well try and make the most of it....
Oh Lord - please help me! lol

So getting back to Christmas - it was great to have 2 christmases!!! Weird to spend it with my family in a different place - but it was nice to see ma and pa again and watch lots of tv!
Doctor Who was among the best of the tv! I mean David Tennant on Christmas day - can't really ask for more to be honest! lol!!!
Actuallly I think the highlight of my Christmas with the family was actually going to church Christmas morning and getting to know the new church family that I am now apart of - even though it is only very slightly. They are a really lovely bunch of people! And it is good to be getting to know them!
So looking back on the time that we shared - it was a good one.
And now I look forward to the New Year - and what it brings....especially what happens after my weeks on placement are over.

What will I be doing?!
Working
Travelling (please be the latter!!!!) lol
Where will I be?

Holidays Are Coming!

So.....Ive broken up from work for the Christmas holiday! woop! **so excited**
And what did I do on my last day - lol lick lots of envelopes...nice!

It has been a fun old week!
Seeing The Golden Compass with friends - it was really good - and although they did miss the end out - i await the next movie for it to continue! Anyway how can one not like the film with a certain mr Daniel Craig in it! So I really need to read the rest of the series of the books!!

Seeing Hairspray on Tuesday - man it was soooooooooooo awesome! I LOVED it! It is a-ma-zing!!!!!!!!! I would so want to be on that stage ...and Seaweed - was pretty fine! hehehe It was really nice to go out with all the guys from work and have some fun! =D

Seeing Laura at St Pancras Station - it is like...my favourite station! "Meet Me At St Pancras!" Oh someone please do - it is an amazing place. I just love it!

Visiting Nanny which was lovely and she cooked a really nice dinner for me!

And so now...here comes Christmas! Really looking forward to it. Christmas comes early to the Bennett household! Tomorrow we have a party!!! Its going to be really fun. And then on Saturday we (the sister and I) travel to visit the parents for Christmas.

So that is my Christmas!

I wish EVERYONE a very Merry Christmas!!!!
Smile

The Golden Compass

Ok, so - as a stand alone film - I enjoyed it! Was a good film!!!

But....in comparison to the book - wha???????
Why make a movie about a book and then - wel just forget to put the end in!

lol
So I was disappointed with the movie - and I am soooo reading the book again!

Oh and p.s. - bring on Christmas - I am sooooo excited! =D
