What iv been up to recently

Just incase your interested, here's what Iv been up to recently...

life.... seems a little more settled in general, suddenly realising im 23 years old, not 17 and feeling tired, not being able to "burn the candle at both ends." Im having to learn to rest more which is working!

work.... is taking more priority in life at the moment as if it doesnt I will end up a dependent, poor and badly trained nurse who didnt pay enough attention to his studies and regrets it! Seriously, we have just a few more months of a course to go and I need to give more effort than I have been, not that my marks have been below 70% but because I work with peoples lives which needs 100%!!!!!

Charity.... well what is charity? Im reading a great book at the moment by Tim Chester called Good news for the poor. He mentioned welfare VS development. Welfare provides immidiate needs but development empowers people to meet thier own needs. So im doing alot of thinking. Had the satisfaction of taking the charity to an exhibition at a festival and for the first time really felt we are established, people are really interested in what we are doing! All up for more as we are lead by God, some interesting ideas in the pipeline.

Accomodation..... im on the lookout for a place to buy... not urgently though!

Itchy feet.... yes its that time of year again, I have holiday to use before March and am feeling a bit of travelling coming on. Young single.... people tell me to take the opportunity. Im thinking short distances though. Anyone know of a good retreat place to take a week of quietness in?


Thats all for now...
