Vision

Was sat in a tutorial this morning and there was a discussion going on about young people and how there isn't a lot to do for 14-18 year old in Croydon. Then my tutor told us about a project her mate started which has turned into a business. it's in yorkshire and basically they have a youth cafe and loads of projects the youth can get involved in -like boating and the like. Initially it was set up coz the crime rate was really high and the drug scene was getting way out of control. Now the youth are getting involved in this cafe and are helping to run it too and the crime and drugs have decreased.
Then I had this amazing vision that I could set up a youth cafe in Croydon with katherine. She's always wanted a coffee shop, so we could bake together and do coffee-ness and we could have an amazing youth cafe that loads of young people from croydon would come to and the whole of croydon could get transformed.
I know this is quite an out there idea, but I'm not gonna totally disregard it!

Oliver

So I played in the musical Oliver at a local high school this week. We rehearsed on Sunday, dress rehearsal which was watched by some junior school kids was on Wednesday and we performed on Thurs and Fri. Tonight they're doing it again, but the lady I covered for is playing today. Wow, it was so fun. Before we did it I was really scared coz I've not done ANYTHING like that EVER before, but it was so fun. I found it really satisfying and fulfilling and it totally renewed my love for music. It's given me a bit of a dilemma... I met David Cox, they guy that conducts Croydon Symphonic Band and I've toyed with the idea of joining before now. He'd love me to join and i really wanna join, but it's on wednesdays and that's TnT night, so I totally don't know what to do! I so love music, it gives me such joy and peace and I really feel like I'm playing for God.
What to do....
