Life and the Single Christian Girl……………

Today was the first day of the Holiday Program.

My activities where teddy bears and card making, oh my goodness they had so much fun.

I just like letting the children come up with their own ideas. I will buy a variety of items then let the children come up with their own ideas.

I love being able to share creativity with the children. The older children really enjoyed the card making they could make as many as they wanted and their designs where amazing.

I think that it is good to not really have a limit for when they are creating.

Tonight I have made 3 batches of playdough for tomorrow’s activities. I am ready and prepared.

I have a clay and playdough program in the morning which is booked out. I cannot wait to see what they are going to make.

This afternoon I caught up with a lovely friend that now lives in Adelaide.

It was so nice to catch up with her. We haven’t seen each other for a while but it didn’t matter. It was like we had just caught up last week.

We met at a coffee shop that I had not been to for a while. It was nice though.

I know that it was pleasant to be inside because the weather was wet, wild and windy.

We need the rain and it was nice drinking hot coffee and chatting.

I have competed all my to do list now. Yeah!!

I hope that you are having a nice day.

Enjoy.

Will share more tomorrow.

Life and the Single Christian Girl………….

Beautiful Sunday.

I am in one of those moods where I want to redecorate my place.

Today I did sort out some of my craft items, my shoes and some other items.

I have decided that I need some bookshelves where I can have all my resources in one, my books in another and then craft items will be stored in another one.

I am a visual person and really like to be able to see what I need and to be able to get to it quickly.

I have found myself quite organised in how I would like to keep all of my work resources and ideas.

I think that during the holidays there is definitely going to have to be a trip to IKEA.

Yes definitely.

I am all prepared for my school holiday program tomorrow and everything is waiting at the door. That way I am sure not to forget it.

So today has been lovely this morning I went to church and I love church.

Then I came home and sorted through some art items and then I have just rested.

I think that it is good to have some down time.

I have had quite a busy term and I do need to remind myself to slow down a bit.

I need to take some time out just to do some fun things and to go on an adventure.

I don’t know what that will look like it’s an adventure.

So for now I am going to just take today easy.

Enjoy it.

So let’s go on an adventure.

Will share more tomorrow.

Life and the Single Christian Girl…………..

I have had such a productive day.

This morning I have brought everything that I need for the holiday program. It was so much fun going into the art stores and looking around at what I could buy. I also find myself being inspired by all the items in the shop. Ideas, ideas and more ideas.

This afternoon I have been preparing for the holiday program. I have been cutting out teddy bears, cutting up wool and sorting out the items.

I have each activity into a separate box so I know that I have everything that I need for that day.

I also went this morning to one of my favourite stationary shops and brought some large letters.

They spell out the word DREAM and I have placed them in my creative space area.

The creative space is taking shape which is very exciting.

I am enjoying this amazing beautiful sunny day.

What a way to start the holidays.

I am going to take the opportunity to enjoy the holidays to take some time out just to be.

Will share more tomorrow.

Yeah!
I am on school holidays, although saying that I am still working next week for three days.

I do love being a Chaplain.

I also have a very packed first week of the holidays.

That is okay because the second week is much more relaxed and I will be working on my creative projects. Oh and of course having those lovely sleep in mornings.

I am also really looking forward to going to the SPARC Conference which isn’t that long to go. I am really looking forward to the conference and cannot wait to see what happens there.

Today I have realised a change in myself I speak up for things and also I don’t let the small things worry me.

I don’t know when this happened but it makes me feel free.

I think now that I speak up when there is injustice when I look around the community I am in I want to make a difference.

I am interested in hearing what others are doing and love hearing their journeys.

I love how people see a need and then make the difference.

I know that I have for some time wanted to set up a support group for women who are recovering from and eating disorder. I think that this will happen quite soon.

I feel that I have learnt so much in my work and all the studying that I have been able to do, that now is the time to make a difference.

I know that being able to attend the Seasons of Growth Course has really equipped me with the passion and desire to make the group happen.

It is all good.

Looking forward to making a difference.

I am also going to take some time to recharge during the holidays.

Will share more tomorrow.
