The world of Adult Hood.

Hey all,

Since i last posted something incredible has happened.... i have become 18, an adult, a woman, someone who can vote! I had the most incredible birthday party with all the works, the cake, the family, the friends, the boy, the bunting. I LOVED it! As i was walking around my birthday party though i found myself thinking, 'if i had another 18th, what would i do differently..." I can honestly say i don't know. I loved my party so so so much, but there is something so much more special than the things that made it amazing... It was the people. Everyone who was at my party were special to me. Their love has brought me through some really difficult times in my life, and even though i am busy thinking about house Music at the moment (which is on Saturday at Hogwarts...) i have been plagued with thoughts and memories of the past 18 years and the people who have had a massive impact on my life. I am currently trying to write my personal statement and i am really struggling to know what to write that will 'sell' me... To me, I have only ever experienced 'me' being enough. I never had to 'sell' myself to my parents, i never have to 'sell' myself to the boy, I never have to 'sell' myself to God. All i do is give myself to all these people and they recieve whatever the package looks like.. sad or happy or stressed. It seems like a funny concept. All of these people who i give myself to, have supported me and helped me grow in these past 18 years and will continue to, yet i have to sell myself for fellow brothers and sisters in christ to want me. I'm still praying into that one! My prayer for my adult life is that i can be one of those people who supports and cherishes others no matter what they bring to the table.

Thought i'd leave you with some party snaps!

Stress, Stress and Peace.

Hi all.

Sorry it's been so long but i've never been busier! At the moment i am organising House music for my boarding house at Hogwarts. House music consists of a house song (a bit like Glee!) a band, a choir and a soloist this year. This is so stressful as i have to organise 70 girls, in 4 weeks to perform to 400 people. I also have loads of work to do from school and i'm organising my 18th birthday party. This is all rather stressful. But. God has shown me real peace through my lovely Boy. My boy was a gift to me from God, no doubt and i'm blessed to be able to see him quite frequently so that he can just calm me down and sit with me watching only fools and horses. God has also been speaking to me through my stress. For example, through the music we are making in house music or the meetings i am having with various members of staff to organise the event.

On a different note, this summer was the best summer EVER! Passed my driving test. Got 3A's and a U in my As' (even whilst being on morphine and 2 days after my operation for one of the exams!) and i also fell more and more in love with my boy and my family and Grew deeper into my relationship with God. A truly blessed summer!

I will try and keep you updated this month!

Lots of love!

Loving my Boy!

Me with the sun and music and God. Pretty much sums up my summer! 

I PASSED!

Hi all, Thought you might like to know that i passed my driving test! I got 1 minor (you can have 15!) so it was amazing! I then drove two and a half hours away to go on holiday with my friends! :D SOOOOOOO happy! Major relief. :)

Much Love from Beth who's driving around everywhere!! :D
