desserts and deserts
i thought it was high time that I blogged seeing as the last time I did it was a bit emotional. thanks to those that commented on here (just Sammy E i think) and also through texts and stuff. muchly appreciated. i didnt realise that many people actually read this, but thats cool i guess! Things have got a lot better since then, i really think it was a random moment - an expression of bottled up feelings that needed an outlet. it was probably the first time Ive cried in well over a year (i didnt even cry at Ware winning the league!).
when I was at uni for the last time this year, one of the ladies on the course gave me a word from God that went as follows... "I saw a picture of you (Pete) sitting in a desert with lots of sand around you. it seemed very lonely but when I looked closer I actually saw that it wasn't sand but was instead Hundreds and Thousands. I'm not really sure what the picture meant but I thought I'd share it with you."
Thats the great thing about Uni, the people are SO supportive. I wouldnt swap them for the world. Obviously Ive got my St Albans peeps and also the excellent 8 who I have such fun with, but the others are so integral to the group and offer support like none other. I will miss the 3 that are leaving. I realised after the emotional blog that the picture was very relevant to me. Things were feeling lonely, desolate and tough but in actual fact things were really sweet in my life. In that very moment I was hurting and others that are very close to me were hurting too, and that made it so much harder. But God is bigger than all of it and he has given so much to me over the past two years. I really am fortunate to be in St Albans with such a great bunch of people. I quit Young Life on Friday and I'm now looking for a placement. I was asked if Id be willing to move and I said no simply because of this support group. I love you guys and value you all hugely.
I love Luton so much, but I got very lonely. I loved the Activate guys who were there and obviously had other great things in Luton which kept me very happy and helped me prosper, but I didnt really have a support group and that hurt. Much prayer was put into by myself and someone else (to whom I am eternally greatful) and I feel that God answered those prayers, even though I doubted.
So worry not people, last Saturday was totally a God thing that helped me deal with some issues and be aware of others. Thankyou though, keep praying.
Weight watch: 14st 5lbs - thats a loss of 4lbs in two weeks. Happy days.
