My New Best Friend!

I bought my car the other day so I am now offically mobile and Gemma's Taxi! hehe. I am now the proud owner of a purple ka and in my honest opinion its a lovely little car.
Driving is the best and worst feeling. Im constantly worried I'm going to have an accident or do something wrong, but I guess thats normal to begin with and driving will feel normal eventually. I'm just glad I don't have to rely on anyone else anymore for lifts everywhere.
So yeah thats my bit of news. In other news I'm doing alot of training at work at the moment so if anyone wants a £5 blowdry let me know because I could really do with the practice at the moment. I hate it when everyone's working so hard in the salon and I can't do much because I'm too inexperienced. I've been doing a lot of observation (because my boss told me to) but I feel bad because then I feel like Im being no use because Im just standing there not doing a lot. I cant win really.

The best feeling in the world! Ok maybe not the best.

I passed my driving test!!! So so excited right now! I can't wait to get my car and be independant! All that worry has now turned to relief! So yeah I'm a very happy girlie right now!

Me lead a meeting?.....ha!!!

I was at church on sunday and Major Graham calls me and Alex into his office. My first thought is why? So then a series of reasons why keep running through my mind such as:

• He wants to ask us again what he can do to make the youth happy and again I will tell him that if he can magic 10 more young people out of thin air than that would be perfect or maybe even two because that would double our numbers.
• Maybe he's going to moan about my lack of appropiate uniform again. I know I never wear a hat when the band march and my hair is abit crazy but i don't like hats they mess up my hair. Plus my head is very strange shape.
• He's maybe going to ask me if I have decided upon whether I'm going to take up the challenge of singing company seargent! I really don't think I can handle that responsibility.
• ETC

Yes many things entered my mind on the short trip from the hall to his office. Alex and I exchange glances of 'what now?', 'what have we done this time?' and 'why won't he leave us alone?'. We get into his office and the door shuts. Gulps all round.

Then theres a smile....yes a smile. He wants the youth group (me and Alex) to lead a meeting in 3 weeks!!! 3 weeks! He wants us to do the sermon and everything. This is very scary stuff. Fair enough if we were a normal youth group size but just the two of us is going to be so difficult. I was just too shocked to say no the next thing i know I'm on my way home from the hall.

Another worrying thing on my agenda is my driving test!! Yes people its 4 days away! I'm excited but also anxious and nervous. I just can't wait till its over.

Sunday FUDAY!!

Last sunday my corps had a sunday funday for the kids. On a normal sunday we get about 6 children at sunday school. We really want our sunday school to grow so we decided to have this funday so that the children could bring along some of their friends and we could all have a good day. 22 children turned up!!!! It was amazing!!!! It really gave me a little glimmer of hope that our church could grow because the kids are the army of today and we need lots! It would be a blessing if just one decided to come along more regularly. I felt really blessed to be surrounded by all these happy children worshipping and learning more about Jesus. I really urge people to pray for my corps and for all those children.

It's one week till my driving test and I am so nervous. I keep having quite nasty dreams such as crashing into walls and this really scary examiner saying "YOU'VE FAILED!!" over and over again.
