Let us talk about life

I wanted to start this post with, "Let's talk about ME!", but I thought that might sound arrogant.
First of all, an open apology, I know some of you have been checking my Blog regularly and have been regularly dissappointed by not seeing anything new (Papa). My writing has been limited in the past two weeks by the fact that I have started working full time for the church. It's a lot of office work, every week in preparation for the events that are coming up, mainly Friday nights, but we want to make it bigger and better, so we are looking for new venues to meet up in with the youth and so on.
So that's the news: I AM A FULL TIME CHRISTIAN YOUTH WORKER!!!!
It's all very exciting, even though working in the office about four days a week is quite intense, sometimes you feel like you don't have anything to do...
We are looking forward to going out on the streets and inviting new youth to come to Youthness and Youth Alpha, doing outreach events and reaching into the schools, at the same time, I am trying to figure out which is the best way to get the young men growing steadily on their path with God. Some are excited about it, some less, but nonetheless they need discipleship. I'm picking up again the Men's Breakfast Group, which is really exciting, and tomorrow talking on the topic of forgiveness, how the forgiveness of Christ affects us and how we should respond to it. God has been teaching me a lot about this, through reading but also through reaching into my heart and moving things, piecing things together, so I can speak out of experience, which is always good when you're talking about something of that pastoral importance.
Other great stuff going on in my life is that I am doing Impact training along with the church service (which is the whole point of the year, to learn theology while being on the field, rather than just learn without gaining any practical expeerience). The first training block was two weeks ago and we learnt about Ethics, which deeply involves us as Christians. I was really impressed at the way our speaker Pete Carter presented the issues and exposed fully the implications of certain ones, not being afraid of sounding controvertial. He is a man of immense knowledge and spiritual insight and yet, so humble, gotta get me some of that! On every issue he wanted to whoop out the legalistic answer and bring in the godly answer.
I also get to attend a counselling foundational course, possibly to go on and do a further counselling course which actually would give me credits in the open university!
I have to set aside study times every week, which is great, I get to study Biblical Theology and Systematic Theology, which is so very cool indeed.
I am really happy, this year I get to do the thing I most wanted to do in my life. I don't know what will happen next, but I believe it will continue in this rollercoaster ride! Don't wanna miss out on any of the blessings God has for me!
The office team is great, I get to spend time with some really great people and we have a say in some really important issues, which is really cool!
This year is all about God and I can fulfill to the max my life's mission, to desire God more and more every day!

Take it easy guys and don't worry about me!
