Back to my Love

It's amazing how much you can miss something without even realising it. Last night I started volunteering again at the youth centre. I was so pumped when I got home I couldn't sleep. The atmosphere, the people, the purpose, the sufferings and joys....ah, it's good to be home.
Thank-you Lord for passions. It gives me a purpose and something to look forward to.

North Perth County

Well, it's been 2.5 weeks since I said good-bye to Redeemer and being a student. I'm still adjusting to my lifestyle changes:

• I know get up at around 6a.m. instead of going to bed at that time.
• I dread daylight savings time changes because I'll lose that hour of sunshine - not in parallel with my laying down and rising up times.
• My procrastination techniques no longer involve harassing the 7 girls I live with. Often mom and dad aren't interested in my mature university jiberish talk.
• MSN is my form of social life right now - I know it's sad. I'm working on it.
• I have to drive at least 20 minutes before I come to anything fun. It used to be in the room next to me.
• I don't have to cook anymore (sweet mother of pearls).
• I spend less time in my bed room.
• No one understands the university quirkiness. They expect me to be "normal."
• I can write in point-form. No more essays or projects or papers. Just lesson planning, lesson planning, lesson planning where the outcome is marked not the paper-product.
• There are more people that are multi-aged around me. I need to find an "age-role" (no longer a teenager but not yet an adult).

anyhow, speaking of it being 7:00p.m. and that my evenings are shorter now I need to get going....

Changing Direction

Well, tomorrow is officially my last school day at Redeemer. I am moving home to do my teaching placement there. I am so exited to be done as a student, but already miss the community here.

I leave with many memories, friendships, and growth. Thank-you to those who were and will forever be a significant part of my life.

It only takes a word....

Yes or No...a three-letter word or a two-letter word. Either way my life will be significantly changed depending on which one I choose.
My future is awaiting me and I need to grab ahold of it. I have been offered a teaching job at a really great Christian school in the perfect grade. I just have to let the school know of my decision.
I still can't believe that they want me. I'm sure there are more capable teachers out there, yet somehow they still chose me. And that's pretty exciting.
I may finally have direction.
And the best part....is that it came at the perfect time. The evening after my last (and worst) final exam. I'm sure if I knew I had a job offer I would of lost even more motivation to study for my exams.
Underlying truth: God is in control.
