This morning, the roads were very slippery and I did not trust the buses, so started to walk to church, being unorganised as recently often happens (too cold to cycle and my timetable is not yet adjusted to walking), I had to almost run. I should really start timing myself, it is exactly 5km. Because I was away all day yesterday and Friday, I did not have any food to take to church lunch and had to go through Sainsburys. On the High Street I met L, who was also going to church and was getting a lift with J and C and there was space! We went to their flat and had a cup of tea! Much better than running on slippery roads.
In the morning I thought D is not coming to church, she appeared to be sleeping, but I got a text from her, asking if I ma going (of course my phone was silent, so I got is a few minutes later). She came by bus.
After the service we had church lunch! And then rehearsal for tomorrow's Globe Cafe, where we are playing carols with almost international band, people from Indonesia, Slovakia, Estonia, Oman and England!
Because there was no point walking back home and then back (1+1 hours), we went for a walk to the city centre with J and J. Walk along the canals, very slippery. There seemed not to be many people, I guess they were all at the market.
Back at 4.30, I was playing int he evening too and had a practice at 5. Good songs, really enjoyed today!
In Student Plus we looked at Mark chapter 6 today, very encouraging learning about how good King is Jesus! And listening to what God has done in some people's lives.
Also, after that I got a message that made me happy! A message in response to something I sent a few months ago!
Yesterday at the ball, somebody told me they are from Moscow. I feel really bad that all my Russian has gone, but I told her in Russian that I am from Estonia. I left home at 10am yesterday and got back after 1am, during the day there were workshops and in the evening, black tie ball in the Great Hall of Birmingham University.
On Friday, I went to 8th floor's Christmas party in Chinatown.
Last week, there was a story on BBC about some poll that found out that Estonians are the most atheist people in the world, 16% believe consider themselves to be religious (and how much of them are Christians?). What a privilege it is to know a a busful of young Estonian Christians and a few extra who did not come on the most amazing trip.
Baby monkey! Yes, somebody was singing this today.
How to be more organised? Today I had many things, but tomorrow will be worse: sports clothes (luckily no trainers on a Monday morning!), laptop, camera, flute, shoes plus some small things. I'd better go and iron osmething now or I will regret this at 6am. Better go to sleep soon.
