Wow, it has been pretty quiet on my blog of late! This is mostly because a lot of things have been happening for me behind the scenes that I have not felt comfortable blogging about (and still don’t). HOWEVER I do have a pretty significant update to give!
Basically, around June this year I will be heading to America and Canada for some extended travel! A mate of mine was already going and when i was discussing various things with him, he suggested I join him…and I said I would!
This is definately pretty exciting…and also quite daunting as, well i haven’t exactly got HEAPS of money, having just bought a car and a laptop! But equally I do have enough to get started, and the plan is to sign up to some Summer Camps while we are over there which should be fun.
Upon returning my plan is to get back into a role similar to what i was doing when I was at Subi, working in youth ministry. Whether this be a youth pastor role, a youth worker role, some community role working with youth, I am not sure. I am leaning towards a youth pastoral kind of role, but we will see!
It is all pretty crazy in my world at the moment, but I can happily say I can see God in control, and I am actually quite at peace with all that is going on.
In fact, it is all quite exciting! And I haven’t felt ‘excited’ for a little while, so it is good to be feeling like ME again:)
Hey Middo
Great stuff. Sounds like a good plan.
Hope you’re doing well back in Marg’s.
Wow, exciting news! Going off on tangent here….I was wondering, do people from your church know about your blog and read it? The bit in your post This is mostly because a lot of things have been happening for me behind the scenes that I have not felt comfortable blogging about (and still don’t). made me wonder if this is the case. A lot of people from my church have found my blog through Duncan’s and read it regularly which I find weird cos then if I ever write something about church that might be slightly critical, I wonder if I’m going to become a social outcast. Just wondering if that’s what you were alluding to?
Hey Sarah,
To my knowledge they don’t, but I equally don’t want to take the risk.
Also, the stuff I had held back from blogging probably isn’t appropriate for ‘broad’ viewing anyway, regardless whether people involved might read it:)
Good question but!
Heaps of my people at church read my blog….but I try to not let it affect me too much. Phil Baker said that he shares just about everything from the pulpit…because he does not want to be fake…nor does he want his people to be…
(great to finally meet you James ftf…praying for you mate!)
