Time flies.

Okay, so it's been 10 weeks since I last wrote anything on here. How is that even possible?!?! Anyway. I said I'd keep people informed with what was going on with me, so considering I said that more than ten weeks ago, I probably have quite a bit of informing to do. I might not write it all today, but we'll see.

I amen't really sure where to begin? Since getting back from America, everything's just gone so quickly. I suppose even before America, things were moving fast. I got declined from all my uni options, but some how - by the grace of God - I got accepted to Capernwray Bible School. So that's where I will be attending in THREE WEEKS. Which sounds really mental to say. I've grown up going to capernwray. I could probably give you a guided tour with my eyes shut. I'm on the famous picture wall, which is scary cause the picture was taken 10 years ago next summer. It's crazy stuff! But anyway, even though I've had my fair share of mess ups, and talking to's by some of the best people you could ask to run a summer camp, I managed to get a place for Winter and Spring school.

Since America, so many things have came together. I got home, and things were still on the rocky waters. But I'm pretty sure I'm on some steady ground now. When I went to Capernwray for a couple of Youth weeks, I realised I needed to be baptised.

So I got baptised on the 26th of August. It was such a great day. Had loads of family and friends there. Was amazing to see so many people there for me!

Anyway, I'm just back from another week at Capernwray called IMPACT. It's for 18 - 25's but you wouldnt have thought that with some of the childish behaviour haha. It was an amazing week, with some amazing teaching from my soon to be my Dean of Students, Ian Ellershaw. He spoke on Joshua going from start to end in just the week. I'm starting to think reading the Old Testament may be possible now.. As well as the teachings we got up to loads of other crazy stuff. From crate building to kayaking, quiet times, to worship and just generally hanging out. All the people there made my time last week amazing.

One of my favourite parts was probably when we were playing mafia. I've never had so much fun playing a game. Saying that, I've never been so scared playing a game either. Though zombies in the dark on xbox can give me the creeps too.. But anyway.. We played it most nights. It was strange not having a bed time. At youth weeks, we're so used to being told to be in our allocated rooms by 11pm, which we would then procede to break the rule, and sneak out till silly o'clock. However, at impact, we had the choice of when to go to bed. We also didn't need to get up for breakfast, which had me quite happy.

I reckon it's going to be a complete shock to the system having to be up so early at Bible School. But I guess I'll get used to it eventually. Adding in a morning run to keep fit aswelll. As if that'll actually happen.

It's only 20 days now until I leave for school. I've talked to a number of other students who are coming, and also met a few, Sam who I have grown up with at the teen weeks at capernwray and another guy Gordon. Also meeting some of the staff who will be working there during my time made it fun. Knowing I'm not gonna be going in, knowing no-one makes me so relaxed. I've seen people talk about being nervous. I amen't the slightest bit nervous. If anything, I'm just really excited.
