I had my first waitressing night on Tuesday. I only had about 4 tables at a time, but it was hard to keep up with them all, and make desserts in the back simultaneously.
Anyhow, got a text from Emma at about 1:00am Wednesday morning, saying Bex and Adam wouldn’t be coming to Glasgow with us as their plane from Egypt had to do an emergency landing in Cyprus! Rung up Emma first thing in the morning (and consequentially woke her up too) to see what the situation was. Everything was okies but they were stranded in Cyprus for the time being.
Packed up for Glasgow. We were going to a Christian youth event in a church up there and staying over. The mini bus set off at about 2:00pm and to my surprise Bex and Adam made it by some miracle and much fun was had on the way down involving, me, Emma, Snowy(my polar bear) and Richard (Bex’s teddy bear), much to Jon’s annoyment. We soon had the music blasting and got into the mood for a great event later. Played numerous games of ‘word association game’ and many ‘I spy’ games.
Arrived in good time at the church and after a pep talk on how not to get shot at in Glasgow, we braved the streets and raided subway. By this point it was beginning to rain, so we made for the church and finished eating on the way.
It was quite an extraordinary night, we started off with some worship songs, and band was amazing and the drummer was wild. Everyone was getting into the right frame of mind and a really calm yet powerful atmosphere was about the place. There were a couple of guys that shared there testimony and performed some pretty remarkable rap songs which got everyone up and dancing. There was a speaker who had recently been in Florida (Mick), and he shared some of his experiences at the Christian events there that have been publicised around the globe recently. He certainly had the gift of speaking and connecting with people and the message he got across was clear and in such a powerful manner it was obvious to all that God was speaking to him. I wont go into details here (please feel free to ask me about this though).
Everyone was supposed to be in bed and lights off by 12:00 ... but ... you know how it is ... the girl’s room was a children’s play area, and I made my bed in the ball pit. I don’t have any horrible memories as a child, but I rediscovered just how hard it actually it to get out of one, especially when you are completely submerged with two of your best friends. Like trying to swim through near solid water I suppose. A while later, me, Emma, Bex, Hannah and Lexi (youth leader) decided to go to sleep in the adjacent room and leave the others to stay up all night. The result was that we were kept up till some stupid hour in the morning from lights and shouting in the next room. many Jaffa cakes were eaten that night/morning.
Later that same day ... at an Earthly hour, I managed to get up and raise the alarm that it was later than we thought. All was packed up and I drank alot of hot chocolate (mmmmmmmm). Me, Bex, David, Hannah, and other people (can’t really remember as I was still asleep) went for the healthier option of a bread shop ... while the others want to McDonalds for pancakes and syrup. I then decided to go to Summerfield to buy a random carton of milk ... yes ... while Jon and Adam went looking for meat to prove their manliness ... or something like that.
There was a short meeting in the morning, then we were on are way home. I was just getting to sleep when I was rudely awakened by Adam grabbing my hand. Odd things went on in the mini bus on the way back ... me and Emma are still awaiting the publishment of our ‘adventures of snowy the polar bear’ video.
This blog is ending here for a good week and a bit as I will be living in a tiny caravan some where near Tarleton, as strange golf people live in our house. I shall report back when ... and if I survive. =]
