HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think there is much to beat the old adrenalin rush that surges through the body at this very late hour on a Saturday night (it's 12.40am so Sunday morning really) when you still have quite a bit of preparation to do in order to lead worship in less than 9 hours time with hopefully some sleep beforehand. Welcome to Saturday night/Sunday morning at the Rectory.

The Vicar that lives here is stuffing envelopes in the kitchen with letters that will hopefully encourage the faithful to up their giving (hopefully they will not turn round with a suitably liturgical reply) whist I sit here and wonder why I am blogging when I should be preparing. Truth to tell I have really got into this blogging and although comments are not coming as fast and furious as I was hoping and dreaming(altho' would prefer fast and smiley) something about the whole act of writing and reflecting is quite thrilling and something that has quite taken me by surprise.

As a student, both at school and college, studying seemed to me to somewhat get in the way of socialising. Why on earth would I want to write essays and do research with so many friends around?? However, now I am older and possibly just a little wiser I feel like I have been given a new start with it all.

My passion is for studying the Bible much more deeply than I ever have before. I am not a scholar but someone keen to let the Word of God seep deep within me and then maybe to enthuse others so that we can journey together, getting to know Jesus better, being changed by the Holy Spirit and honouring the Father.

Well, I think I have just proved that altho' I do want to study etc, etc, etc I still would at heart spend time with friends ie blogging and hoping someone somewhere will read it, rather than get on with the job in hand SO, I had better sign off and do some work and pray that I can get up in the morning. That would not be good..to be fully prepared and then not turn up.

Take care,
Rachel.
