the whispers in my heart againt your kindess

It's been such a long time since i've updated this thing, i honestly don't know where to start.

I'm back at college, started back about a month ago now, and i'm loving it. It's so much fun, and filled with lots of laughter and smiley faces. It's good to get the chance to just talk about ways that are effective in teaching, nice to think that when you arrive in college for a three hour theory session it's not all theory, and there are some games sloted in it (obviosuly we're trying them out for our pupils, aye!) It's just good, a really good course, better than i thought it was going to be anyways.

Life outside college is lovely too.

I had a chat in the office with the Debbie and Anna a few sundays ago, trying to work out what was going to happen with singing group, and if i was getting them back, then what time and what night of the week it was going to be. W e sorted that out, so singing group is now on a Thursday night at 7pm, which hasn't really been that well attented, but the reasons they've not been there are good ones. Hopefully as we get into it a bit more, they'll come more. But i have them back so that's all good, and i'm loving having them.

I went to the last Vocational Fellowship last month, and it was really good. It was at Jane and David's house (My old Officers) and it was just nice to hear their story. Stories of what they did before becoming an officer, how they got there, and their experiences at the 3 appointments they have had since leaving college.
I'm really enjoying this Vocational Fellowship, I'm so glad kelston started it up, it's good to have the group there, to just chat about things, and now that there's more of us thinking officership is for us, it gives us time to chat to each other about our worries, thoughts, concerns etc.

Last sunday was my first time leading the singing group in years, and i was worrying int he afternoon. W e were singing without music, and i just got myself all worked up, about leading and when do i bring them in after the first time, and then, i recieved a text, from Kelston. A text simply saying "Good luck with leading the singing group tonight, hope all goes well. God Bless. Kel" and that encouraged me. Then i got to the hall, and walked in to see Kelston & Cindy there. I awent over to ask Cindy if she wanted to sing with us and she leaned over, gave me a hug and whispered to me and Hazel, "Kelston found out Samantha was leading the singing group tonight, so he wanted to come and support her", and handed me a card. Which was cute, and had a wee card inside it with a prayer verse on it. This man, is so sweet, and has made me smile lots recently.
He also got me into going out collecting on monday night...by using the line "You'll get asked about it in your Candadate's interview" haha.
It was good though, i'm glad i went out.

And that, is my life so far.
