Writing...
Writing, I'm writing, I'm writing in my diary!

Coffee, coffee, I've drunk too much coffee!

Heloo ladies! I'm back, I'm actually going to try and write here. Crazy, innovative idea I know, and if it doesn't work it doesn't work, butI had a good pray and think I should give it another try. I never write at the moment and I used to love it.

Soo, me! What am I up to?

Well, I'm at a bizarre illness stage where I am in turns curiously euporhic and suicidal. Great! I don't think I'm bi-polar, actually suspect it is the Lord healing me which I'm gradually coming round to. How exciting is it to write that!!!! I'm taking a break from uni, sorting my head out, attempting to work and being transformed by God. And I love it. When I don't want to kill myself. Life, hey?!

Yep, I've come over a bit born-again Christian I'm afraid guys. Apologies to any readers who might feel a bit distanced by that, but I love it. It's kind of the same whatever spiritual force you have in your life (although Jesus is obviously the best in my opinion), and I think most of my readers are pretty spiritual people so hopefully I won't scare you all off. Then there are people like Val, of course, who is no doubt going through the roof and praising the Lord as she reads this. I love Val!

Otherwise. Well, I knit and crochet a LOT. No, I don't make Jesus loves you sweaters or rainbow guitar straps, in case you were worried. I adore my textiles work and might start trying to sell some soon. With crochet, I can literally make anything I turn my mind to. And I love it so much. At the moment I'm making a handbag, a bible cover (oh shucks, that's almost as bad as the guitar strap!), a blanket for Bob's brother's baby, a blanket for my bed and lots of mini projects. I also make cards, scarves, toys, whatever inspires me really. Going to try my hand at beaded bracelets this week I think. I love having time for me and I'm really worried I'll never actually be able to finish the training to teach. I would be an amazing teacher, but the paperwork and the preparation is so overwhelming I'm not sure I'll ever be able to cope.

I'm trying to have faith though...I have a feeling that once all this is out of the way and I actually have some money, I might be off to africa or somewhere to use my talents. After all, by that stage I would be a teacher, engineer and craftswoman. So I'm going to do everything in my power to muddle through, and if not, I'll try and accept it with grace.

So, welcome back me. How are you?
