radio productivity

i'm feeling half productive... the inside of my car is now vacuumed and clean.
now to tackle my bedoom...
i don't know how clothes just appear at the end of my bed... into a big, huge, random mountain that almost seems impossible to even try to get rid of...
but faith the size of a mustard seed, right?!
=p

I should be finishing up the acoustic album on weds... i'm pretty excited to have it done...
hopefully i'll sell quite a few in the next couple of weeks and have some finances towards bible school...

It's been such a random couple of weeks...
faith camp = amazing! lifechanging... heart changing... peace, joy, hyper-tash! new friends...
youth camp = immense! fear-facing, energy, donuts, amazing friendships...

this week i randomly went to ashburnham to visit Radio Rachel. We met at faith camp... she's a YWAMer, I'm a YWAMer... instant connection =P
She lives 4 1/2 hours away but was down for 28:18... another camp.
And we figured that it's easier to hang out while she's here than back at home...
so.
monday morning i headed on my random adventure with Jimmy Needham and Betty (GPS) for company.
and i got there and after a while we found eachother (there's like... NO phone signal there!)
we went on a beach adventure and walked i don't even know how many miles and just talked the whole time... it was awesome.
i love learning about people.
she does too lol
so yeah... that was epic.
we went back to the tent (which by the way was the most immense tent i've ever seen!)
and had dinner with her a-may-zing family
and then i hung around to go to the youth meeting.
it's funny that i've always just gone to youth meetings... never grown-up ones...
I was a youth.
then a youth leader.
Also, randomly, another friend of mine was there... Jojo... so we got to hang out too which was epic! She's amazing.

I obviously wasn't on team for this meeting... which was kind of weird... but almost refreshing at the same time...
I've had an amazing few weeks... being able to pray for SO many young people and just really get alongside some amazing kiddos...
but sometimes we just need to be refreshed huh?
The meeting was awesome... a time of immense, freeing worship... and communion and lots of prophetic words...

afterwards, i hung out with jojo and her friends for a bit (we lost rachel =p)
we went to watch Phatfish perform (=WOW!)
and then went on a trek to find the youth camp fire... when i say trek, i exaggerate very little! It was such a mission lol!
at the fire we found rachel... and then after a little while i headed back with her
and we found some of their friends near the tents... and we layed on the ground and starwatched and How Long is a Chinaman.

We were just talking about how amazingly big God is... It kind of felt like we were laying inside a massive box with pin pricks at the top...
How amazing that although we have such potential to be so insignificant... we're SO significant...
wacky.

I could write so much about the couple of days i was there... I will spare you though =P
but yeah... it was just so good to spend time with such incredible people... to be surrounded by encouragement and opportunity... and adventure... and washing up soap fights... and donkey dares...
and good hugs... and offbeat claps... and cheerleading... and laughter. It's good for the soul, y'know...

This time last year i was in new york city.
at EXACTLY this time last year, Joy and her grandma were out... and i was home alone... jamming out with my guitar...
right before we went back to go see Freya, Jeff and Sue at Starbucks...

Well, that's all i have time for right now...
I'll try to write something soon...
even though i am at such peace right now... my soul is overflowing with thoughts... and ideas... and just all kinds of things and stuff.

heels & buddy.

i can't believe it's august.
11 days off a year since i arrived in New York.
word.
i feel like every year goes faster and faster...
2 years ago i was in NZ and just about to start a dts...
2 freaking years!!!
that's insane!

i still havn't caught up on sleep since faith camp... I'm exhausted!

I can't write about the week yet though... cause
i need to get ready.
going to a wedding in london... i have just over an hour before i need to leave...
then after the wedding, I'm driving straight to another youth camp...
for another week...

Prayers would be much appreciated!

i have about 4 weeks till Bible School starts... I have absolutely NO money...
i need £550 before i can even start school...
Jehovah Jireh...
amen.

I'm kind of in shock... but i can't let myself be. I feel the need to be strong for you... but im not sure how... i just want you to know that i love you =)
always.
I'm here buddy.
like buddy the elf.
but hopefully not as ridiculously awkward.
well... maybe some of the time.
It's kind of fun.

i should go and get ready.
I can't walk in heels.
