That Summer Update

It seems I've sucked at keeping up my blog this year, There have been many times I've thought about writing my blog but the motivation wasn't there. Today I am off work and have a completely free day so I am forcing myself to write my blog because I actually do enjoy it, it just takes time. 

I last updated you in March, it is now August! When I last wrote I had just got my job, I am now 4 days away from finishing my job. I am one month away from going to university, I've had driving lessons and taking my second theory test in a week; I've been wild camping on a beach in Wales with some great people, I've attended a friends wedding via live stream, been on a lot of walks, had our first gathering-in-the building church service, summer is almost over, and just this weekend we had Limitless Festival 2021 (online again). 

Talking about all of this in detail will take too long. Instead, I am going to talk about only the highlights.

Liverpool light show trail.

So many cool pieces of art using light. 

 

June/6th of June

Our friend got married and First Sunday back in Church.

We sadly couldn't be there for our friend's wedding but we got to join in on the live stream. 

We had our first Sunday back in the church! It is honestly so good to be back in church, meeting as a church and being with my people! Praise the Lord! We also had some nice warm weather in June.

2nd July 

Wild Camping

This was honestly one of the best weekends of this year. The people I went with were so much fun to be with. We had such a laugh playing games around the campfire, eating food and going to bed ridiculously late, all curled up and squished together in our sleeping bags, on the sand.

Alton Towers

My first time going to Alton Towers. My sister and I wanted to go before I head off to Uni so we went just us and my Dad. My favourite was definitely the Wicker Man. We sadly missed some of the roller coasters we wanted to go on, but I guess it's just an excuse to go again. :)

8th July

University Tour/Nantwich Visit

I got to go see my uni accommodation and get familiar with my university again. It honestly made me so excited to move and get started. It is scary but exciting. 

 

6th - 7th July

Limitless Festival - Gather//Pray//Go

Day one started with an 11 o'clock morning session. Then we got to have some fun and gather together, so for our gather activity, we made mocktails which were actually so good. We would continue our games later before the evening service, but before that, we painted some rocks and went out and prayed over them as we hid them around Newsham Park ready for people to find and be encouraged by. After the evening main session, some of us decided to stay up and watch the Late Night prayer session which was so nice to finish off the evening with some prayer and reflection.

 

Day 2 was an earlier start. We left the house around 10 o'clock to meet with City Church so that we could watch the main session together. As we walked up to City Church we prayed for our community and prayed for anything that God set on our hearts. It may have been a rather wet walk, but we didn't let that ruin anything for us. Day 2 I think was my favourite, it felt amazing to be able to gather with another church, pray, play games and have fun. God did some amazing things that afternoon during our prayer time. The evening was amazing too and I can't wait for next year when, praying to God, we actually get to gather ALL together as one big massive church. 

 

Now you're all caught up with me I guess. I am going to try to write one more blog post before I go to university in September. I will also be trying to keep up my blog while I'm at university. I do really enjoy doing this. It's mostly for me to see my life through the years, even if my old posts are so cringey 😆.

Thank you for reading my not so interesting life ;)
