Well, as the title suggests...I've been in Cardiff now for one month!! Can't quite believe it to be honest but I love living in this city :) Was really excited last weekend as the interns got free tickets to the Michael Jackson Tribute gig in the Millenium Arena. We all loved it...especially Jo...I've never seen anyone wave a flashing star that excitedly before! Other highlights include last week's roof top modelling session (ha!), Johnny English 2 (beats Tinker Tailor hands down...Cerys and I fell asleep!), 'street dancing' with Deb and endless games of Bananagrams in the first week! Thank you Jordyn for that one...and Isaac...why are you so good at that game!?
If you don't really have a clue what I'm doing this year then I'll tell you!! I am an intern at Glenwood Church/Going Public and I do lots of different things during the week including youth work and kids work in various different capacities! Also, on a Thursday, all the interns come together with a few other awesome people and we have training on the Bible and also in youth wor k or creative stuff! It's great :D Today, I went to Fun Factory, an after school club for juniors in a local primary school. There is something really precious about kids praying...whether its for their dog (I happen to think that Noodle is a great name for a dog!) or for life changing operations, it's amazing to hear them chat to God in such a natural and chilled way!
I feel like we have been totally blessed as a group in the last month. Whether it was the sale of Jordyn's car or the fact that we live in a beautiful house, God is good to us all the time!! I feel like I'm learning stuff constantly...this week, I'm challenged, as ever, to practice what I preach/ teach to young people and kids. For example, I spent Sunday morning telling kids that they are significant because God created them and has a plan for them...and I'm now challenged to live a significant life for the One who created and loves me more than I could ever imagine. I've also been thinking about rights recently...they're something we talk about so easily! I guess sometimes we feel we have the right to be frustrated or angry about something but I feel like I need to give up my percieved rights daily to Jesus...the one who willingly gave up his rights to being worshipped and treated like a king to serve us! Anyways...I guess I came into this year wanting more than what I had before with God and I am so excited to chase after God and his will for my life and the lives of others.
I know this isn't normally my style...I've never been this open about me and God before...I think it's time that changed!
Just to say that I miss Bristol...the craziness of my home in Aust and also the funny nights in town!! Much love to all you guys at uni...I can't wait to see you again soon!
In the words of Jords....
Holla (meaning see ya in America, much better than any words we use! :P)
