So week three. I was delayed in writing because we didn't get internet in our new house till yesterday. Its an amazing testament to God's extravagance and grace that we now almost have all the furniture that we need and some that we vaguely asked for like a dishwasher. I have a bed which makes me incredibly happy my back was really painful on the air mattress.
Anyway This week has been amazing I am now into full swing here and Alpha has started which I am helping with the admin of both of normal alpha and student alpha. I am really loving being here its so different from London where I was before, not the church well its a little more actually a lot more evangelical and spirit led than where I was before. But then where I grew up was different again. No two churches are the same and God uses and works through all of them isn't that so amazing... Its more than just the church it's silly things like well the fact that walking home at night isn't very scary not that it really was where I was in london but it just feels so much safer here and you can walk a mile in the middle of the day without bumping into people you know or people full stop. This is the most rural place I have ever lived, from our house you can see the rolling hills of a national park. Although there was lots of green space in London here its like everywhere.
Tuesday's teaching was good I am really loving the bible 101 classes Tuesday we talked about the Writer's Context and the history behind what we read which of course pushed all my history buttons. I love history and I am a geek for history so I probably spoke too much perhaps I should be a better student. Anyway after this we the session on our disc profile. no I din't know what it was either until I read our handbook about it. It is personality typing thing like Myers Briggs but to be honest myers briggs made so much more sense anyway it was about whether you were extroverted or introverted and task or people orientated It confused me no end and I have to make sense of it at some point because we have to do a personal development plan using it. I am going to have to get my head around that.
After teaching on Tuesday I went to a job interview. It went amazingly well and I was devastated when I got an email saying that they had chosen someone else because they had better availability she made it very clear that it was not because I wasn't a suitable candidate or that she was in any way a better candidate than me. Which is really disheartening because all my friends seem to be getting jobs at the moment and I am not. I am not sure what god is doing here.
So prayer requests
-pray for the alpha course
- that I find a job or at least a means of supporting myself.
- pray for our national discipleship year weekend away tommorow
