Boy Hugs

I had a really rough day today because my presentation went bust...and i do mean that it went badly! Anyways, I walked into the chaplaincy around 5:50 and i dropped my bag in disgust and a guy friend of mine takes one look in my direction and just holds out his arms for me to come and get a hug. It was great because it was just one of those things i needed at the time and the great thing about it was that it wasn't romantic at all! It was simply just a friend giving someone some encouragement and i'm greatful for it.
Christian Union small groups was good tonight and it challenged me on some key issues. James said some things tonight that i've been dealing with a lot lately. It's funny how God has a way of showing/telling you things you need to hear at exactly the right moment....yes God, i am continually learning to give my desires up to you and not trying to make them come true on my own. thank you for reminding me of that tonight.
Two more days left until the University Carol Service....I'm praying that it goes well and that God will use us in ways we hadn't expected. I am trying to keep an open mind about the mince pies, but the one i have tasted in recent weeks was manky and my open is anything but open right now. Anyways, i am looking forward to the mulled wine.
Hope you people in Canada are not too cold right now and are not completely burried in snow...because i've heard that you are! I have to rub it in and say that we BBQed on Saturday and it was fantastic!
Love you all :)
