The best of a bad bunch

The picture is the closest thing I have to a photo of me in my dressing up outfit.

A much better day overall. I wasn't impressed upon waking up at the prospect of the day but once I had got up and going, things felt a bit better.

I was doing the Bible Study in my dorm this morning. As ever, I couldn't really engage in the material once in leader mode but apparently it was fine. I think they all understand the point that there is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Good reminder for me too.

So I felt fairly together when it came to morning coffee time. This mildly disturbed me but I had a pleasant time sitting with Amy and Zoe. I worried a bit about not being liked by Amy etc but OK.

Then off I went to a seminar on God and Science. I had to actually do some sort of leading there of a few of the girls near me. We saw how unlikely it is that we came from nothing and how unlikely it is that the conditions we live in on Earth would be just right for us. So, all in all, we concluded not only were we created by God but that God designed us and thoroughly knows us. Science can point us towards this but is not a replacement for these truths.

After lunch I had a nap. I was so anxious but did get to sleep after a bit. After waking up, I went and sat with Amy and Zoe again. That was nice although I worried again about Amy's opinion of me. And then Andy's. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!!

Again, the prayer meeting and main meeting had me anxious. And I'm anxious now as well.

We had a crazy Christmas dinner (don't ask...something to do with the theme...or, in fact, the cause of the theme, I believe) and then played a wide game. It involved walking around in the dark and rain with a torch. Members had to try to get past us without being seen. I didn't catch anyone! I was focussing quite a lot on talking to Tom who had decided to walk with me. I think I might have just gone in to girly mode.

I gave my testimony in dorm review. I didn't think I did it justice and I felt really embarrassed afterwards but never mind, Katie and Anna said it was good. And God can use our words in powerful ways.
