An eventful week.

As the title of this post suggests, due to much clumsiness, this week has been somewhat eventful. It started on Tuesday really when I was walking home from school at lunch time. I walked via town and was texting whilst walking. Then I had the privilege of publicly humiliating myself by walking into a lamppost, leaving an egg shaped bump on the top of my head. So painful!

And as if that wasn't enough. I came home and found a broken cheese grater on the kitchen surface. Thinking I was being helpful, I decided to try and fix it. Whilst trying to attach the plastic handle back to the metal grater, the metal part slipped and slid straight into my index finger on my left hand. To say it was bleeding would be an understatement. I never knew a person had so much blood in their finger! So after nearly fainting, I saw that my skin was half hanging off my finger and I'd cut it open. This left me in a panic and a trip to the surgery, where i was told my finger was too swollen to stitch up, so I had to wait. So I'm currently doing that - waiting with a doc off bandage on my finger for the swelling to go down. Not fun! :(

Then to think my week couldn't get much worse. Wednesday brought me a trip to the dentist - I needed a filling replacing after knocking it at netball. My appointment, however, was made with a student who was training to be a dentist, who spent half my appointment taking photos on her digital camera of my mouth to show her university what she was doing. So a usual 15 minute job turned into an hour and a half's visit!

Despite such a rubbish few days, my week was brought to a lovely close at YP tonight. We had a few games - including dodgeball, which our team obviously won - then it finished with a short talk on Jesus being the light of the world. It was so good to sit down and ponder on what Jesus has done for us; how through his grace and love, He came as a light to save us from this cruel and dark world. What a loving God we have!
 
'When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 
"I am the light of the world. 
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, 
but will have the light of life."'
 (John 8:12)
