Well I am going to give this blog idea another go...To lay it out on the table I do prefer myspace - I like the idea that there is scope to create a visual mess and to give myself this standard template felt like sacrificing my creativity. I have an insatiable appetite to do everything myself and am particularly fussy about graphics and fonts...I hate Times New Roman - it is an automatic turn off. I love writing things down in new note books and keeping records of random thoughts but I hate writing in blue biro - has to be black. Also text has to be justified. I just don't like messy scraggy lines down the side of the page. And I hate snakes.
I am excited about keeping a blog though. It feels like one of those significant times in my life where I hope there'll be lots happening.
About me... I am 27 but it will be my birthday next week. I have never wanted a normal life or a normal job and sometimes I feel that I've let things turn out too normal. I got married to someone also committed to not doing things normally - Joel is an adventurer...he likes to escape the day to let God speak to him and has been known to disappear. He loves climbing, sport, writing, music. He loves to create and also will have his own quirks about graphics. We don't agree about fonts but we laugh together, challenge each other, argue rather than bottle it up and are very much best friends. He IS my ideal man. We were surprised very soon after we got married to find that I was extremely sick and that was the start of our little girl Holly. She is beautiful, cur,ly fair hair and big blue eyes strong minded. I was proud of her today being happy to go to a fancy dress party as a pirate girl when she expected all the other girls to be princesses. That is cool- already an individual. After she was born I knew I'd really like a little boy with dark hair and brown eyes and that I would call him Elijah Leo. He is nearly one now and is the most beautiful, chunky thing. He loves his sister so much and that is gorgeous.
Though money is something we struggle with having Holly forced us to live off Joel's salary and then I took the risk to give up my part time job to venture into what is now GoldDigger. I guess that many of my posts here will be about what we are doing. It's a ministry we (Rachel, Claire and myself) are convinced that God has his hand on it - which basically means that we feel we are doing something which goes beyond our efforts and is a really significant thing which though we 'manage it' it is totally out of our control. We present ourselves as a band but we also have written a teaching package called 'I'm the Girl I want to Be' to teach girls, teeagers, and particularly the most insecure and vunerable, about self worth, having better self esteem and sex and healthy relationships. Our myspace for our music purposes is myspace.com/golddiggersheffield.
