Welcome to my life of randomness!

About Me April 14, 2009

I’ve just finished  studying FTVRS (Film, Television and Radio Studies) at Staffordshire University and for the next 10 months, starting in September I will be working as a Relay Worker with UCCF. Relay is a training and discipleship scheme for graduates run by UCCF. Its focus is on growing in grace, and seeing how that radically changes the way we live. I will also be supporting students at Nottingham Trent University, providing one to ones with individuals or meeting their needs as a group.

I can’t define when and where I became a Christian, I was baptised when I was 12, but didn’t pay much attention to God after that. It wasn’t until I was 16, while I was at Grapevine, that I decided to get my act together.

For a while I’d been suffering with M.E (Myalgic Encephalopathy) and was about to start college after being unable to go to school for several years. I was terrified I wouldn’t have the stamina or good health to go to college, so while in the Glory tent, I prayed to God to heal and help me through, and this time I meant it.

He hasn’t ‘healed’ in the sense of fully taking the M.E away, but has supported me through his strength, and everyday I get a little better. My outlook on life has definately improved from the ‘doom and gloom’ type thinking I had when I was depressed. And it’s all thanks to him :)

Below are some links if you want to know more about M.E
