English-lingua franca?

So, I just found this post about English becoming the lingua franca and it was very interesting!

I don't have time to comment on it now seeing as I should be working, but I will try to do it at some point.

Connect

I should be doing chemistry.. but I feel like talking about yesterday so nah!
So, in the afternoon I went to a séance d'information to find out more about my exams (which are in 2 weeks!!! 'O')
So that was interesting.. anyway! We drove back and I went to the church I've started going to recently cos there's a youth group there on Wednesdays!
I got there early so I introduced myself and there were 2 girls Célia and Emilie and they chatted to me and we set everything up :) People kept coming in and I didn't remember many names.. but yeh!
We ended up doing the same thing as I did in the other group last week cos this group's a week behind but oh well :D It was interesting hearing their point of view. David came too and he knew some people which was cool :)
We split into lots of small groups to talk about the video and in our group there was a non-christian so we went a bit off topic sometimes but yeh, it was really good talking to everyone :) Sophia is really spiritual and amazing at talking (and singing!!) so she was explaining things to him which was cool!
There was also a guy who has had a terrible experience and he acually shared it with us and we all prayed.. I was just so touched, and sad.. and started crying... anyway!

It was just.. really cool :)
Afterwards we stayed back and played table football which was fun!! I'm terrible at it.. but I got some points! And when we created the English team we were invincible! (With or without me on the team lol, David is too good at it!)

Ended up getting home really late but oh well :D It was so fun!
Can't wait till next week! (Except I can cos I need to work loads.. and next week I'll only have a week before my exams ._.)

I'm going to a little event at school tonight~ kind of like a concert.. :)
yay!

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Church

It's been a while since I last wrote anything on this!! (Well.. not very long but seeing as I have nothing to do apart from study.. :P)

So! I'm gonna talk about church. Every week I go to an English speaking church close to where I live and it's really cool there, I have lots of friends and the pastor speaks really well.
I've been going there for about 3 years so there are some people I know very well but because it's English speaking, lots of people who come are expats who come and go!
So anyway, a friend was telling me about all these things happening at his church, for example healings and speaking in tongues or baptisms in the holy spirit and I was just getting confused.. because I know about these things but only vaguely, I've never actually experienced them.

So I decided to go further into the city and went to the evening service at a French speaking church for youth (the evening service is for the youth and the morning one is more for families!).

Bref.

I went there by myself which in a way was a good thing, coz whenever I'm with someone I know, I just stick to them and don't go to talk to other people much. So being by myself, I had to go up to someone and talk to them (it sounds easy but I find it really hard .__.)  and they were really friendly!!

They kept passing me along, introducing me to more and more people!
Once the actual service started I was amazed coz the worship was like a concert, unlike the worship I'd seen in the morning at my church with everyone still half asleep...!!!!!
It was so cool to see people being so enthusiastic about God :)

A girl called Noémie was really nice to me and showed me around and sat with me and everything :) David joined us after a while which was also cool.
After the worship they had a video and also a little 'sketch' and then a message and at the end you could write down prayer requests or go talk to people and socialize..it was just a really nice atmosphere!
I loved it so much that I decided to go to one of the bible study groups on Wednesday. It was strange at first because everyone was atleast 4 years older than me! There were even some late 20 yr olds!
But yeh, they were all so friendly that after a while it just seemed really normal to be with them.
I loved it when we split into tiny groups to discuss things because when there are only 3 or 4 of you, it's much easier to have everyone talking and not just a few.

Wow this is getting long!

Going to a French speaking church is also good for me because I'm not speaking any French at the moment which is terrible T____T I need to talk a lot more to get back into the habit.

This Sunday there's an event at my friend's church so I'll probably spend my whole day at church (es). lol!

I should stop there coz this is mega ultra super duper long now!

God bless everyone who reads this :) (If anyone does??)

Books

Books books books!! So many books I want to reeeaaad!
The last time I read through a book (well.. 3 books)  basically non-stop was when I read The Hunger Games, they're so good! I couldn't stop reading :O

I bit all my nails off while reading coz it was so exciting u_u



So yeh, I STILL haven't finished reading Birds without wings.... mleh :(
There are lots of christian books I'd like to read too. Like The Shack and.. can't remember any other names at the moment but there are plenty of them! Maybe I'll read them on my dad's kindle after my exams :D


I tried to read a book in German but gave up after a few pages.. >__<
It's really hard trying to study.. I keep getting distracted and writing in my blog and stuff ._.


Right! Time to work now. T____T

Church and other random things

Today, I went to France to eat raclette at my parents' friend's house and me and Meri took a boat back to Switzerland and we had wanted to visit a church somewhere in the area...
There was just one problem. We hadn't checked the boat times and so we got a boat at quarter past 4 and the service was supposed to start at 4.30! It takes half an our to cross the lake and we had to get metros and stuff too so by the time we got to this church we were an hour late!
We decided to go back into town to see if a friend was at her house, but couldn't work out how to ring her doorbell coz she lives in a flat and the system is really weird...!! (AND we're blond!!)
So we walked around loads.. not doing anything.. then thought about going to a Jazz festival but it wasn't close enough for us to use our train tickets to get there.. so we went home.. and when I checked the church site again it said that the service was at 7 this sunday... oh well ^^"
I'll just have to try again next Sunday :P


So yeh! That was an eventful day! We had pancakes for dinner.. yum ^-^


I've been wanting to go visit new churches for a while now.. I want to see what it's like in French and also hear different kinds of worship etc.. :D


Listening to this mix atm: https://8tracks.com/nicole-foley-5/esmerelda

It's so cool!!! :D :D :D


I should stop there, this is getting long!

Double Mleh.

There's too much going on. Too much to handle. And yet all of that stuff just feels insignificant now.
It's a horrible feeling to dread something for a year and for it to actually come true just when you think everything will be alright.
I have so many things going on in my mind at the moment, and yet I feel like it's just empty.











mleh :(

Lindsey Stirling

That awesome feeling when you realise you haven't yet listened to all of her songs on youtube *-*
I've known Lindsey's music for quite a while but it's only when David mentioned her that I started listening to her again and there are some awesome videos!
I love Crystallize and Elements and...well all of them :D
Atm I'm listening to Adele ft. Lindsey *____* First time hearing it and it's amazing!
The mission impossible and the we found love videos are my favourites ^__^
Wow... I'm discovering loads of different mixes  now!! I have something to listen to while studying :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD



(Ha.. I always get so obsessed with these kind of things :P)
Now I'm listening to Grenade...





And just to talk about something else; I went to a 'comedie musicale' called The way Back yesterday and it was really cool!! There was one lady who was SO GOOD at singing! She sang Skyfall and something else.. can't remember..^^
I went with Meri and also Doane and Pierrick coz we had gone to their house for lunch after church so we thought we might go with them :)
So yeh :D It was really cool! And we saw some people we knew, Naomi from church and her family and David and also some of Meri's friends.. ^__^
I feel a bit bad coz when I saw David on his phone just spacing out on the bus stop seat then I ran over and used his head to do a huge jump haha!! It was just so tempting :P I don't think he got hurt? :P
