So, normally everything's jolly - I think I've barely written a bad word about this place and the stuff that's been going on since I arrived and that's mainly because it honestly has been great but there are times when it's not so fantas and I want to be honest about that too. Being a Christian is real hard sometimes - you have to lay down everything for the sake of Him. Take up your cross and follow him - what a statement. It's tough but we have to perservere which is what I intend to do - it really is the only way to live. Something I'm learning is that what we often refer to as 'sacrafice' for the sake of Jesus is really no sacrafice at all - if God's asking you to lay something down it's because he's got better plans for you. Wonderfully tough.
We practised a dance for outreach this evening. Not gone well at all - on a scale of one to my cup of tea, it was someone else's glass of orange juice. Spoon. Dancing never will be my thing but we all gotta do it so I'm just trying to enter into the spirit of it!
We were told off for singing a non-Christian song (Halo - Beyonce - actually a personal favourite of mine) this evening. Apparently it doesn't glorify God. Flip - people here have strong views on certain things, not always easy to deal with but I'm trying to be open-minded.
Alright. Bed time again. Love y'all.
