Me and one of my best friends are doing an internship at our church this year. Not only will we be helping running Christian Unions at local schools (including our old one!), we'll be involved in other youth work like a new multi-church youth group we're trying to set up. I think working with young people will be so fun because we pretty much are still kids at heart :)
We'll also be doing assemblies in schools (ahhh!) and other challenging things but I know this will only help us grow in ourselves and our faith.
Our church also has lots of great ideas and plans for doing good in the community but as they're not definite yet I won't jinx it by putting them on here. Although when they do happen I'm sure I'll be writing about them all the time!
This year is gonna be so crazy, not only is there tons of stuff going on so I'm gonna be super busy, but this will be my first year out in the "big wide world". I may not be moving away but I'll still get a taste of what it's like to be an adult with responsibilities and commitments. My usual routine of school is completely gone now but I feel like I'm ready for this new one to begin! It'll take some adjustment but I really can't wait for this year and all it's potential.
As for a job, I'm starting to look for one this week. Although I'd love to spend the whole of the year in the church, I need to be realistic and find a job to support myself and to gain more experience in a work environment (yawnnnnn)
One last thing.. Since September 1st I've been following Soul Survivor's Bible in one year. I won't start preaching about how great the bible is (although it is!), but just to any Christians out there reading this who like me, found the bible very intimidating and didn't know where to begin.. Please try a BIOY plan. The daily reading is completely manageable and I've found myself wanting even more to read each day! It's such a great starting point and doing it with a group of friends or finding a site that has daily blogs (like Soul Survivor) is such great motivation to keep you going. Okay I'm not gonna get carried away because it's only been 5 days and I could very well lose my excitement for it (although I pray I don't) but I've learnt so much more through God's word this past week than I have in years!
It's coming up to 2am now and I'm getting pretty tired. I could probably babble on for a few more paragraphs but I don't want to bore you even more :)
Peace outttttttt
