Well, I honestly thought I had my life all sorted. I would go off to Uni, do Primary Education, become a teacher, then a head teacher and retire to the Mendips. Sounds nice.
But no! In life, I alwyas done the thing that everyone else has wanted me to do, not what i've wanted to do. But now, I don't have a clue. All I have is that I want to get out of my house, and the two words of Youth Leader, which I feel I have been trying to fight.
It's not all bad, or maybe it's perfect timing, as this weekend I am off to Youth Synod, which means I will be spending a WHOLE weekend with my Youth Pastor and Youth Enabler for Cornwall. Sounds impressive? It would be, But it's really the lead singer of the Darkness! NOt really, but Andrew really does look like him!
Well, I've been researching on Christian Aid and Open Doors, and have found a project called Platform2, which is a 10 week project for those who cannot afford a proper gap year. I could go to somewhere like Peru or South Africa, and help build a family a proper home, or build toilets in a village, I could go trekking near Mount Everest, or go towards the Amazon.
It truly sounds amazing.
I think this is what I am supposed to do. But I'm not totally sure yet. But I know I want to help people, to try and make a difference in their lives. And I want to work with youth, and I know from looking at SWYM's website, I could go to Canada for a year, or the USA for 2 years. It sounds fantastic.
but I'm looking, keep my eyes open, and I will notice what is in front of me, and I will pray for my future.
Well, I will keep you posted about my trips!
Love, Georgia-Blou Xx
