The last post was on June 6th.
Today is September 19th.
It's been a good summer. I saw two of my best friends marry their respective husbands in two beautiful, if very different, ceremonies. One in Chicago and the other in Reading. I feel so privileged to have been part of both of their wedding days and am excited to see how God will lead and use both of them in years to come!
Apart from that it was a pretty quiet summer. I walked across a stage in a silly outfit and shook a man's hand - graduation was a lot of fun and it was great to see Cardiff again. It was weird not to go to Czech but it was so amazing to hear what God did in and through people out there this year.
I didn't accomplish all I wanted to (hello unsorted boxes) but I rested. And rest was amazing.
Now we're in September! By the grace of God I got a part time job which is great! It's in my village and sometimes I'm in the coffee shop and other times I'm in the hardware/homeware/kitchenware section.
And the part time job is how I can do the main thing this year, the thing that I'm infinitely more excited about! I'm a youth work intern in my home church, working under Paul and Val Bowman with two other interns. Lots to learn!
On August 7th I flew from Heathrow to Belfast after the second wedding of the summer and for the first time in over four and a half years I was flying back to NI without another flight booked! It was a weird feeling! And even with my permanence of being here I still have stuff lying in a suitcase (albeit a rather small suitcase) - just stuff that I can't quite figure out where to put... I must do that sometime soon!
So, I'm getting used to living in Saintfield again. This time last year I was back in Cardiff. I'm trying to be all here, not looking too far forward because, really, the future will be here oh so very soon and there's lots to learn in this exact moment. And even in the midst of learning, figuring stuff out and wrestling with certain things I am so sure that this is where God wants me so where else could I want to be?
Oh, and I've a million blog post ideas so hopefully this will become a bit more regular... And it's a good way for me to process so I hope it does become more regular!
