So I went to visit Lizzie for the weekend and I have to say I had a super time!
It was great to see friends, spend time having fun, laughing and it was just lovely to be with them again.
I got to Lizzies on Saturday, where we had lunch and talked about her wedding which is soooooo exciting! Just over a year until she ties the knot.
We then went Kayaking with Charl which was amazing! I was a little apprehensive before hand...seeing as it was an inflatible, and also, I can't swim lol. But once I was in and we were off I loved it! However we were both agreed that if we wanted to go Kayaking again, it would have to be with someone experienced....you just have seen how it went it was just Lizzie and I using the oars lol - it was a sight to be seen. So it was great to have Charl with us!!!!! hehe
Lauren came over and it was nice to catch up with her and see what she's been up to.
And on Saturday evening Lizzie, Lorrie and I had pizza and watched Calendar girls - which I thought was a really great film! Lorri and I had a lovely chat and at last I came to understand what thanksgiving is, haha and why they celebrate it over in America - I soooo have to go and experience Thankgiving sometime!
Sunday was a fab day aswell. Lizzie and I went to visit two churches in the area which was cool, and inbetween time we had a beautiful Roast dinner with Cilla and Lauren. Annabannanna also popped over for a bit, and it was just nice to sit, chat and also reflect a little on what God was doing with our lives, the good parts and the things that we had questions about or was struggling with. It was good to air what we were feeling.
So there we go, a fantastic weekend, and the weather has been so good throughout!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I've finished it!
It was a fantastic read especially as I really didnt know what was going to happen - I don't really know how I got away with that for like a whole year!
Anyway, I really enjoyed the last book - and I didn't really expect some of the stuff that happened, which I think has been a constant thing throughout the HP books.
The Deathly Hallows has definitely been my favourite out of the seven.
I'd like to go into a little more detail about the things I really enjoyed most - but I know my friend who reads my blog has yet to read it! Im not sure whether she knows what happens, and therefore I shall keep these thoughts to myself and in my journal.
What I did like seeing was a verse of the Bible cropping up in the book. I know that it was written on a tombstone so it would be something that you would find on there, but I really do like this verse:
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
I definitely recommend the book to you!

Reading
I have a new enthusiasm for reading!
First and foremost for the Word.
3 Sunday's ago, there was a move of the Spirit in our church in the evening service. Keith asked if he could pray for me, and asked me what I wanted prayer for. I didnt expect him to ask, so I hadn't really thought about it. So I just said that I wanted to get to know God more.
From the following Monday I really wanted to read Exodus...and now, two weeks on - Ive read Exodus, and Leviticus lol! And it has just been really interesting!
I think without realising it, my prayer had been answered. Through what I have read I feel I have got to know God a bit more and learnt things that I didnt know!
I really like the verse in the NT where it talks about Jesus being the visible image of the invisible God.Although Jesus points to God and who God is, I think from reading the books in the old testament I am learning more about God and who He is and His character.
It has given me a new interest in finding out more about my faith and has caused me to question things - which I think has been really healthy - rather than accept tings at face-value.
I am also beginning a new book.........Harry Potter! - the last one. Haha yes, I know, I still haven't read it! I began to last year but didnt manage to get into it, so here it goes again - 2nd attempt! hehe..and guess what - I still don't know what happens! I don't know how I managed to keep it that way. hehe!
So here's to reading!
