The big race!

As you may recall I told you my hoop group will be hula hooping race for life. The date has been confirmed, we will be hula hooping through Reading on the 22nd July

Let the training commence!

Race for Life

This year, my hooping instructor, our group, and other hula hooping groups will be hooping race for life this year. 

I'm going to photograph the whole process from training, to picking what to wear, to the actual race. 

I'm going to use this blog as an update of our journey for this race.

Procrastinating against God.

The past couple of months I've felt God say to me " SIAN! I want you start honoring people more" At first I was like pfft that's easy, all I have to do is thank them for what they're doing, or give them an encouraging word. But as I sit here watching trashy Saturday TV (which, in all complete honesty is the same episode of Friends I've seen over and over again). I thought to myself, you know what, that's not enough. For me that's just a candid way of honoring someone, actually, I want to be able to do it in my own unique way. 

A while ago you may recall me beginning a series called "Active In The Community" and I haven't taken any more pictures since, I've been making stupid excuses like "Oh I've got too much college work" "Oh actually I don't know how to go about asking people" etc. No It's time to stop with excuses, God didn't ask me to do something just for me to procrastinate! Whilst honoring the people in Church, I want to be able to extend that into the Bracknell community, the big issue man, the guy who sells hot dogs or those amazingly yummy diddy doughnuts! 

It's time for me to stop procrastinating and get on and honour people. So if you know anyone who you think deserves to be honored for their hard work, please let me know!

Roller coaster of a couple of weeks

I haven't blogged properly in so so long! It has been a very interesting few weeks. 

• I failed my second driving test
• I went to see Skrillex
• I had my first and only Uni interview and didn't get in
• I preached at my Church
• I went to see my Cousin play Hockey for the first time in years
• I managed to start getting the grades I want in college.

Although a lot of them sound positive, and it has been, the biggest thing of all has been the Uni thing. It's been a massive confidence knock for me to not get into my top choice. It was very difficult for me to see that it was all in God's plan for me not to get in just yet. It set me up for my preach on Sunday which went fantastic! 

Now all that's over I've had the chance to sit back and reflect on what's been happening and putting plans in place for the future. Although at the time I couldn't see it, not getting into Falmouth is the best thing to happen. I feel him calling me to try again. I think he wanted me to remember that although I have ambitions I have to put HIM at the center of it. I need to remember that through all the highs and lows I need to keep thanking and seeking him. 

Although it's been both a disappointing and really good week, it's made me realise so much about my faith. 

This post is abit rambly. I do apologize.
