Why, Hello there..

*THIS POST WAS IN A MAGAZINE!! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE GUYS AT CONNECTING YOU MAGAZINE FOR SCRIPTE UNION, YOU'RE FAB!*

I'm back! As you can tell from the title it was the most amazing week of my life (so far). I genuinely can't contain my excitement/amazement/happiness at how powerful this last week has been. WARNING: this post will probably be pretty long, but I would strongly advise reading it. Also it might get a bit preachy, if you REALLY don't like that sort of thing don't read it. But please read it :)

If you didn't know already, I went to a Christian camp, which I've explained what it is here. The one I go to is called Helter Skelter, run my the amazing Claire and Ali Scott. I knew quite a few people as I went last year, so it was awesome to see them all again and to meet new people. Everyone there is literally the most genuine, nicest, passionate, funniest and fabulous people I have ever met. None of them judge you at all. They will listen to your problems and take it all in and won't even bat an eye-lid. They're the most encouraging people who give the best advice and pray for you and love you so much, like one of their family. Their faith in God is so incredibly inspiring it makes me want to serve God even more and be just like them. The amount of DMC's (deep meaningful conversations) we had was insane. Just such compassionate people willing to listen to me rambling on about my problems and given such awesome Godly advice. God has really spoken through these fabulous people and given such encouragement.

Why, Hello there...

This is my first life blog post! Not sure if anyone's interested but ah well :) I'll start with school stuff then go on to explain this christian youth camp that I've mentioned in some previous posts.
I'm in my first year of A levels so i got my first set of results today! I wasn't expecting very good results but I'm happy with what I got: Psychology - A, Music - D, Gen. Studies+English lit.+Drama - C. I wanted to drop psychology and keep English. I didn't even think about dropping Music! I'm a bit worried that the school will try and make me take psychology, but we'll have to see. I'm hoping to apply to uni next year for an Acting course. The possibility of getting into these courses is pretty low because of the amount of the applicants that apply, some Uni's is only 6%! Hopefully I'll be ok, but the audition process looks quite gruelling. Ah well, got a year to get there yet!

I'm going on a christian youth camp this sunday. Most of you will think like an actual 'camp' site, but its not quite like that. For the camp I'm going on we have a massive group of 13-17 year olds all going to a boarding school for the week and have a massive variety of activities throughout the week. I LOVE going to these camps. There isn't any 'open' christians in my year and all the youth at my church are 2 years or more younger than me, so it's pretty hard being a christian in my environment. Going to these camps has helped me make new friends, and I actually met my bestest friend through one of these camps! Even though most of them live far away, I still have an amazing relationship with all the people I meet there. It might sound boring to some people, but we do do some awesome activities such as going to a snow centre, rock climbing, going shopping in Oxford and loads of other stuff on site. We have amazing worship time and just get to talk to everyone and help people out. It's a pretty amazing week! There's so many different camps to choose from, all run by a charitable trust called Scripture Union.
