Hey everyone sorry for the lack of blog posts again! As usual my life has been pretty busy recently, I am going to be busy for a little bit longer!

I officially only have one more week left of this gap year, there is only two more things I officially need to organise before its the end of the course. I had my last two stay and play sessions this week, which went surprisingly quick! I wasn’t emotional about it, which I suppose is good? It’s quite weird to think I have Mondays and Tuesdays off now. Our leadership and discipleship has also ended which I am probably more sad about.

I really enjoyed our sessions, disecting the bible and how we can use it today in 2022 and beyond. I’ve always found it interesting to learn about the context and history of things, I still do! As for leadership I really enjoyed learning more about myself, learning what strengths I can bring to a team and how I can use them in the best way possible. I feel through doing these things, I have grown a lot.

Why am I blogging all this you may be wondering, well, I need to get my thoughts out again and I also have to film a little video at some point today, talking about growth, experiences and highlights of my year. I don’t really know what to say about the year since it has been such a full year. It’s hard to narrow it all down and compress it to 30 seconds!

I think I’m not as worried as I have been about what is next. I feel okay about it, I know I can have a summer break before thinking about finding a job, I have been looking at jobs though. I’ll be spending an entire week before heading home, looking at jobs and applying to a million things! I have been asking people to be praying for the right job to come along, something I will grow in and enjoy. So, if you as a reader pray, please be praying for me. As I always say, I am a Christian so please respect that. I’ve prayed an awful lot this year, especially recently!

The weather has been exceptionally hot this past week, I have frankly consumed way to many ice lollies over the course of the past 3 days! I am currently staying at a friends house, sleeping on their bedroom floor on a (very comfortable) mattress. Their room is already a very warm room, but the last couple have days have seemed to have turned the room into a sauna!

It has been a much needed relief living elsewhere in all honesty. It hasn’t been an easy year, I am not sure yet if it has been worth it. I know that sounds bad but I am just being honest. I don’t know if I have grown much, in some things I have but in other things I’m not sure.

Sorry that this blog is a bit scattered, it is still a bit to hot for me to focus and concentrate! Thanks for reading, stay safe!
