Well I wrote out a whole post this afternoon and then lost it. I seem to remember I started out saying that I was thankful for technology because of all the communication I am able to have with all my gorgeous friends! However, now I dont like it. I still like the communication though. And my friends are still gorgeous. I can't remember hardly any of what I was saying so this will be short I reckon!
But it does amaze me how lucky I am to be in such regular contact with so many people. I've got friends in England, America, Holland, India, South Africa, Kosova, PNG who I've been able to keep in contact with by the wonders of technology (when the friggin thing works!) And I've been in contact with a lot of these people since I was about 13. How many 13 year olds get to keep their friends till they're 17 and onward? It does make me wonder why I want to continue putting myself into situations where I have to say goodbye. It hurts. Why would I want to hurt myself? I've spent the last 5 years loving too many people in too many places. And I've often thought and wished that all these people could be in one place, and that place would be a mixture several loved places. I hope you follow! But I guess if God gave us everything we wanted and we had it all, what would we have to trust him about? If we knew that God would give us everything on silver platter when we asked for it, we wouldn't need to ask and trust him to provide. So that's what I'm trying to do. Trust God that He will provide the oppurtunity to see them again! It's been so awesome, if not slightly surreal, to have my PNG friends 'integrated' with my England friends as they meet. I'm just glad I don't live 100 years ago. Or more. Because I'd have hardly any contact with anyone! I'd have 1 lot of friends, apart from the letter that would arrive every 6 months or so. So I can complain all I want about missing my friends, but I've got it so much better than a lot of poeple! So anyway, this was gonna be short. I haven't quite mastered the art yet of writing in short. Hmmm....
Anyway, I'm hoping to get a more recent picture of me up soon so you can all look at my pretty face. I have several very un-posed photos of me (I think I'm the only one who went to the Lakes who could manage to not pose, despite what I got accused of!) and so when I get them scanned in to a computer (something I can't do here due to lack of working scanner) you can see a more recent me. See ya later!
