Um what else is new?.... I got an internship! Yay! My boss is pretty awesome and is really happy with my work thus far and I fairly certain she is a Christian. So that is going well.
I am also seriously considering going to bible college, either via correspondence or night classes, but I want to start now! Mum suggested that I wait one term to see about my work load, so I'll go with that but I am anxious to start. I talked to some really great people at Next Gen, from Moorling and SMBC. I am leaving that in God's hands.
Speaking of Next Gen... It was amazing, like: crazy, exhausting, my brain hurts, my heart hurts, I feel condemned, God's Grace is wonderful, kind of AMAZING!
The talks were on Nehemiah and 2 Timothy. The morning speaker was Greg and he spoke on Nehemiah, and as I was saying to Dan and Kat he has this amazing way of making you feel absolutely crap and sinful about yourself and then saying but wait there is GRACE.
We have a wonderful gracious God who forgives our sin and has washed us clean of any and all sin. However, this does not mean that we can go on sinning something that really struck me was "Do not confuse God's grace with His gracious will for you." God calls us to live a holy life. With the calls of this world this is not easy... I was really challenged during this week to confront my sin, in particular to look at my sexual sin. No one is immune and we need to take up the fight to live as Christians in a sex saturated world.
Our God is a gracious and faithful God. Something else that struck me from the week was we need to revel in God's faithfulness. Stop and wonder at the awesomeness of God swim in the sea of his faithfulness and stand in awe of his faithful love.
Aren't metaphores wonderful?
But seriously God is awesome and I am really looking forward to youth ministry this year, I am super excited to see what great hings that God will do in and through our youth this year.
Yeah that's it for now :)
