So....

So, these past couple of months the whole world has been asking
me what I'm gonna do in september, so...

As I dwellt in the concept of uni more and the course itself I
became less and less convinced about it. I have no problem with
moving out of home, but I think the studying would be quite
hard. My heart was no longer in the course, so I rejected both
places at uni.

I then came across a course run by the OU in childhood and youth
studies. So after much prayer and discussion with a close friend
and my parents, I've decided this would be a good option. So I've
applied for this and am awaiting the final confirmation in a few
weeks time. It will take me 6 years to do the degree. I'll be
studying one module a year, for 9 months of each year, with about
16 hours of study each week. Alongside that I hope to get some
work in schools, either as a teaching assistant or an individual
support assistant. During these 6 years, I will continue my
involvement at St M's and also supporting Eleanor in GCU. I will
also spend this time trying to discern whether full time ministry
or full time childrens ministry is where God wants me, as
currently I feel this may be where he's calling me. So that's my
6-7 year plan!

So, that's all very exciting!
Tomorrow I leave my teenage years behind me. I'm gonna be 20!!
Wooo! Not doing anything majorly exciting! Going to a random
founders day service for my old school, which is kinda groovy!
Then doing creche and Brownies. And in the evening I'm gonna
get a pizza and a DVD and chill out with the family.
Good times!
