Much to say but no idea how to even begin!

Over the past few months this blog has been virtually silent. This is mostly because I have not had sufficient internet access but also because, for the life of me I do not know how to even BEGIN to blog what has been going on for me. By this time I highly doubt many people even bother to check my blog, but that is ok.

So, life. I guess the main thing to have come out of my travels so far is the wonderful feeling of knowing I am exactly where God wants me to be. Every time I am experiencing something I realise that this is but another lesson that God is teaching me. To say that my holiday will go down as one of the biggest experiences in my life is to extremely understate what has been happening.

As usual however, God is giving me very little guidance as to what my immediate future holds. There are so many thoughts and idea’s racing through my head but I cannot even begin to imagine what it will look like. As usual I am trying to race through life and as usual God is telling me to slow down. As usual I am so concerned with utilizing my time well that I am not utilizing my time at all. The next year or 2 for me will probably be a very interesting and testing period for me, not least because i will be thousands of miles from the girl I love, but because I am beginning to feel like it will be a time of ‘waiting’, of walking when all I want to do is run. I have plans in my mind as to what my life will look like but they do not always match what God has in store. As far as the next little while goes I have NO idea how it will look, and I have to learn to be ok with that.

I have not even begun to scratch the surface of what is going on for me, but it will have to do for now. Hopefully during the rest of my holiday I can start to at least partly organise the chaos that is my mind. But, as I said at the beginning…the greatest thing I know is that i am STILL exactly where God desires me to be, so that is a good thing going for me.

'In a relationship'

I remember reading something a while back about how people have ‘shown’ they are in a relationship over the years. It was really quite witty but sadly I don’t remember much from it. However what I remember was how they said NOW it is when you change your facebook status to ‘in a relationship’. Well…today I changed my facebook status.

That is right, while over here in the USA I have met someone. Her name is Kelsey and she is a fellow councilor at the summer camp I am at. I don’t want to post too much more information about it all right now, however relax, I will give a full re-cap at a later date, probably after camp!

So anyway, as you were…

New laptop

Later on today I will be picking up my new laptop! It is a Dell Inspiron 1525, direct from Dell and made to my custom order. I am very excited.

What I am a little apprehensive about is the fact it comes with Vista. Until yesterday I was considering putting Windows XP on it, however I have discovered that because it has 4gb of RAM (yes 4 whole gigabytes!) that XP won’t handle it! All I can hope is that the extra RAM means it handles Vista better than what many other peoples computers handle Vista.

Will let you know how things go over the next few weeks with it!

The Sunday Briefing – Feb 20th
